QOD: "Good company and good discourse are the very sinew of intellectual progression." Izaak Walton. I wholeheartedly agree with Mr. Walton!!!
TPNS: The Bush Administration reviews its "political lexicon." The story went on to explain how the Bush Administration will stop using the term "stay the course" when discussing to the media/public the war in Iraq. They will continue to use the terms "sectarian violence", "insurgency." New words to be focused upon include "constitutional democracy" & "federalism." Off limits is the term "Civil War." I discussed with the classes the implications of these changes. Also, I noted the power of words...see 16 Habits of highly successful people. Being able to communicate effectively #6 and #9 respectly.
The majority of the class time was spent going over Exam II. Appeals are due October 30th...NOTE: I will NOT under any circumstances accept appeals after October 30th.
