-
- A sly guy, that Lynch. He knows how to keep us academ-anemics happy --
- give us crap that we can find some obscure rationale for praising.
-
- This is, after all, the very essence of PoMo/Camp (not to mention
- tenure and promotion). Lynch et. al. are crucial components in a
- critical academic function -- blowing smoke in everyone's face and
- convincing them it's The Wind of Change.
-
- Happy New Year,
