Dr. Bernard Carroll, known as the "conscience of psychiatry," contributed to various blogs, including Margaret Soltan's University Diaries, for which he sometimes wrote limericks under the name Adam.
New York Times
George Washington University English professor Margaret Soltan writes a blog called University Diaries, in which she decries the Twilight Zone-ish state our holy land’s institutes of higher ed find themselves in these days.

University Diaries. Hosted by Margaret Soltan, professor of English at George Washington University. Boy is she pissed — mostly about athletics and funding, the usual scandals — but also about distance learning and diploma mills. She likes poems too. And she sings.

I’m relieved that Boca Raton –Frank, Sammy, Dean and I call it “Boca” — is not under threat, so that people can safely enjoy drinks, golf, snazzy golf wear and dinners so early that they’re belated. Boca’s integral to Florida, which began as a real estate scam (yes all of it pretty much) and then destroyed its wetlands (after that, the deluge and the flood) and most of its natural beauty. Wallace Stevens would now have to look hard for its “immense dew,” “flakes of flames” and anything “angering for [much of a ] life.” http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poem/240850. It exists now mainly as an endless strip mall, cultural desert and breeding ground for politicians, such as Gosar, and often as a baleful influence on our political life. Fun fact: it is one of the top states for death by lightening, so I guess one gambles simply by being there.

Greg: One of my sisters lived in Boca for awhile, and I learned then to call it Boca.

It’s hard for me to imagine your performing an entirely non-ironic speech-act based on that knowledge.
