@matthewktabor Good lord, that blog post *was* a yawner. I think Mr. Rose doth protest too much about the GOP's supposed elitism.

Looks like Florida has the LSU game well in hand. Too bad my Commodores couldn't get it to 6-0 today though.

Working on Promotion and Tenure committee stuff. The busy season for that committee starts tomorrow and continues through January.
