the daily stream of consciousness of an SMU Spanish lecturer who leads a double life as an op-ed columnist and published poet on a Quixotic mission to bring clarity and enlightenment, and occasionally some wit, to the far reaches of Internetlandia and hopefully making the world a better place along the way by fighting windmills, rescuing poodles in distress, exposing charlatans, defeating demagogues and routing out fascists...and now the necessary legal stuff: any statements or opinions expressed on this or any other site are my own and in no way are to be construed to represent those of my employer.
