Blogging backlog

[robinturner]

It's a sign of how messy my life is that I even have uncompleted to-do lists for blogging. Here are some things I would like to write about:

1. George Lakoff's state-as-nurturing-parent image and why I still can't be a liberal (in the American sense);
2. My ongoing conflicted relationship with evolutionary psychology;
3. Related to this, some revisionist observations on feminism and domestic politics;
4. The resurgence of collective guilt, and more reasons why I can't be an American-style liberal;
5. Why American liberals are generally nice people (and certainly much nicer than conservatives) and I should stop being so mean to them;
6. Why life without nicotine seems not to be worth living;
7. Why items in lists should end with semi-colons, except for this one.

I want to read all of them. Except maybe number 6; I can't relate to number 6.

Isn't "American liberal" a contradiction in terms these days? If you're anywhere to the left of (say) Lyndon B. Johnson, you're a radical by American standards these days. Sad but true.
