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.

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.

political theater of the absurd to be sure, just by shooting off in every direction he does manage the occasional hit many of the neocons who are against his isolationist bluster did indeed take us down the road to perdition or at least to Fallujah.

It does not take any spine to come out against someone when they are down ten points in the polls. Collins is a coward. The best that can be said for her is that she is not a potential quisling.

And now this gasoline from Trump:

I’d really just like to wake up and have this nightmare over in a good way. Let’s assume that Nate Silver’s current calculation of odds (87.7/13.3) is correct and that HRC is elected. I wonder what the costs of the Trump candidacy will have been in terms of foreign relations, domestic mistrust and unrest, and, speaking not just for myslef I think, serious psychic, maybe physical, wear and tear. Fortunately I think there will be major costs to his “empire.”

Greg: Wow. I hadn’t seen that. Yes, the psychic wear and tear for many people is obviously serious and ongoing, and this latest nightmare statement makes it worse.
I guess with my optimistic tendency I’ve been telling myself that the aftermath of this election, assuming a Clinton win, will on balance be very good for the nation. Perhaps it will have the effect of outing and isolating the worst among us, and strengthening the resolve of everyone else to be more aware of the situation.
