Actually these search phrases make sense in bringing one to this blog

Sometimes I wonder about the searches getting to this page.  Take this question:

What was Diocletian solution?

Good lord, go to wikipedia for your bulletpoint answer.  For further analysis, consult books from your local library and debate amongst yourself and in yourself how Diocletian’s reforms speak to the current political scene in America or whatever country.

In spite of his failures, Diocletian’s reforms fundamentally changed the structure of Roman imperial government and helped stabilize the Empire economically and militarily, enabling the Empire to remain essentially intact for another hundred years despite having seemed near the brink of collapse in Diocletian’s youth.

Maybe we can stave off the End of America for another century by following the Diocletian model?

Next question:  what is health care reform

Sigh.  Something Truman wanted. Actually here’s the question:  “What is Reform?”  and once you reform something, do you necessarily have to re-reform to something else?  Can it be called reform as you’re forming again or should it be called re-reform because you’re taking it from the vantage point of the pre-reform existence?

bob jones quote i’d rather see a nigger elected president than al smith
Yeah, sounds like something he’d have said.

mark kraschel

Question:  Is Mark Kraschel anyone I should know of?  He did write a particularly hilarious letter to the Oregonian once, which I felt the desire to dissect, and when coming upon the search engine result and backing to it think this may be one of the best things I posted onto this blog.  If I can find it online, I’d post this circa late 1930s piece on the cliches of Roosevelt haters which seems apt when I read back that letter.

I guess I should do a Jackie Salit update.  I don’t know why I care about her skirt, though.
