English 101

With the fall term almost upon us, I recommend the following course.

COURSE TITLE: English 101: The Art of Misusing Words.

INSTRUCTOR: Orson Scott Card.

COURSE DESCRIPTION: You will learn the meaning of the words "catastrophe," "lie," "partisan," and "divisive." They don't mean what the press has led you to believe they mean.

CREDIT HOURS: 4

LOCATION: The Ornery American.

TIME: Go there right now.

PREREQUISITES: Bush Derangement Syndrome.

REQUIRED FOR: Intelligent discussion of American policy and politics.

You'll be glad you took the course. And wish everyone would do the same.
