Maverick Philosopher 15th Anniversary Celebration and Renewal of Vows
Today is my 15th 'blogiversary.' I look forward to tomorrow and the start of Year 16. Operations commenced on 4 May 2004. Can you say cacoethes scribendi? I've missed only a few days in these fifteen years so it's a good bet I'll be blogging 'for the duration.' Blogging for me is like reading and…

I'm on a roll over there.

The Spam Corral is Acting Up Again
Esteemed commenters Fr. Kirby and Mr. Bagwill got sent to the spam corral for no good reason. Or rather their comments did. I apologize for that. Their comments are now visible. I shall have to descend into Comment Limbo on a daily basis now to see who is hanging out in those murky precincts.

Tony Flood is Back in the Groove
Hi Bill, I hope things are good with you (and that you'll tell me if not). I've finally crawled out from under the covers. My new site https://anthonygflood.com/ is mostly autobiographical vignettes, but one day I'll return to the questions that brought us together years ago. The main thing is that I practice in public…

Facebook Update
Some of you have messaged me to say that you are unable to send me a FB friend request. That was my fault. I had the software set to accept friend requests only from friends of friends. I have fixed that. You should be able to get through now. I apologize if I don't get…

The Presumptuousness of Blogging
Immanuel Kant, The Conflict of the Faculties/Der Streit der Fakultäten, tr. Gregor (University of Nebraska Press, 1979), p. 177: To want to entertain others with the inner history of the play of my thoughts, which has subjective importance (for me) but no objective importance (valid for everyone), would be presumptuous, and I could justly be blamed…

The Big Unplug 2018
The 2018 Big Unplug starts now. I hope to be back in about three weeks. I will be incommunicado during this period so please don't send me any e-mail or leave any comments. Bang on the link below for a little of the 'theory' of the Big Unplug. Sick of politics? Take a gander at…

The Wipeout of Obama’s Legacy
He who lives by the Executive Order shall die by the Executive Order. The witticism is mine. Fred Barnes provides the documentation. And a friendly tip of the hat to old blogger buddy Bill Keezer for keeping me well-supplied with cartoons and memes. I met old Bill back in the early days of the blogosphere,…

Screwy Stats
How can I have 6,385 page views at 5:50 in the morning? Some strange days a couple of weeks ago. A day with 10,000 page views, then one with 15,000, and then one with 22,500. It's making me nervous. Obscurity is bliss, and it offers me some cover. And that reminds me: I need to…

If You Like to Think . . .
. . . you'll like my blog. If you don't like to think, you need my blog. (Double your money back if not completely satisfied.)

Thank You for Reading
Readership has been well over 1500 page views per day over the last month or so. Yesterday, total page views topped 3000 and it looks like today will be the same. I thank you for your support. Some of you are here for political commentary on the passing scene. For my more philosophical and literary…

Of Blood and Blog
My daily labors in the blogosphere since 2004, impressive as they are to some, have garnered nary a word of encouragement, or the opposite, from any relative. In compensation, I have a big fat file folder of tributes from strangers. I suspect this is not unusual. The people we know we take for granted. Is it…
