About Me

- I am Professor of English and Director of the Center for the Study of the Medieval at Wheaton College, Norton, Mass., where I teach Old English (Anglo-Saxon), Middle English, medieval literature, fantasy, science fiction and writing. I am also a Millicent C. McIntosh Fellow. My scholarship is focused on tenth-century English literature and culture, meme-based theories of culture, and the works of J. R. R. Tolkien.

what respectable academics do with their spare time...
i'm not sure that i needed that disillusioning.
Well, hey, it's all about memes, no?
I think it's refreshing to find that the scholars of my discipline that I admire so much do, in fact, relax and revel in silliness once in a while. It's good for us striving beginners to see.
That is right dead brilliant.
That is deeply and profoundly awesome.
I'm going to use this in conjunction with my lecture on Edgar's church reform.
You may want to see this as well.
ftw!
Why was there no follow on bankruptcy then? The bailout of AIG FP went to (wow power leveling) hedge funds that bound credit swaps on Lehman failing or others betting on rating (wow power leveling) declines. AIG has drained over 100 billion from the government. Which had to go to those who bet on failures and downgrades. Many of whom (power leveling)were hedge funds. I-banks that had offsetting swaps needed the money from the AIG bailout or they would have been caught. Its an (wow powerleveling) insiders game and it takes just a little bit too much time for most people to think (wow gold) through where the AIG 100 billion bailout money went to, hedge funds and players, many of whom hire from the top ranks of DOJ, Fed, Treasury, CAOBO
