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.
