STYLES
In the Massachusetts senatorial debate, Scott Brown sounded like a regular guy — a regular guy blowing smoke out of his ass. Elizabeth Warren sounded like a schoolmarm — a schoolmarm telling the truth. So I guess this one goes to Brown.

A ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON QUOTE FOR TODAY
If your morals make you dreary, depend on it, they are wrong.
VOYAGE TO WINDWARD
To those unacquainted with sailing, a vessel beating to windward always looks erratic.
— Joseph Furnas, biographer of Robert Louis Stevenson
Life, as you may have noticed, is a voyage to windward. Everything good in it lies at the exact point of the compass from which the wind is blowing, which means you have to tack, zigzag back and forth close-hauled into the wind, gaining only a little forward progress on each tack.
What seems to be an erratic course is in fact the fastest, the only, route to your destination.
