Sophister

New word I learned today: "Sophister"

Guess I wasn't sophistercated enough to know that one before today.

Going Editorial

People talk about somebody "going postal" -- fair enough. I'm sure postal workers are annoyed about that characterization, even though obviously they had their share of postal workers who did go nuts and shoot people, and/or pile bags of mail beneath bridges.

But nobody ever worries about somebody "going editorial" -- and it's not a testimony to the sanity of editors, because anybody who's worked with editors knows that we are nearly all mad as March hares.
