Quips, queries, and querulous quibbles from the quirky mind of Don Kahle

Why do people say 'after dark' when what they mean is 'during dark'? After dark would be when it's light again, right? * There are 10 types of people in this world -- those who read binary, and those who don't. * I'm rethinking the whole brown rice thing. What if it's just more white liberal self-hatred? Whole wheat, honey, unbleached flour. All better. Sez who? * Eugene should be HQ for White People for Diversity. We'll fight for diversity to be included in books, which is where we know to look for it. * Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day, but give a man a pillow, and he'll dream of steak. * What can you say about a state that puts the town of North Bend 225 miles southwest of Bend? We rely on visitors for entertainment.

Just when you thought you couldn’t get any more depressed about the attention span of the average American, comes this little factoid. Since the television reached half our households (1962), we have never elected a president with a three-syllable last name, much less one that sounds (ahem) “different.” In fact, you can even count the losers back to 1962 and you’ll find only one name with more than two syllables. Can you name that candidate? Dukakis. How did that work out? Of course, you could hope it’s about how many letters are in the name and on the lawn sign — in which case, Obama beats Clinton by one and “Hillary” by two. Now you know the real reason Hillary is no longer using “Rodham Clinton” — too many syllables.
