A WORDS-L MOMENT. Atlantic Blog has a Silly Professor Alert (scroll down, the interchange tracks are not working again), this time taking down a dissenter "marginalized to the pages of the Washington Post. But she is brave, and she is confident that everyone is with her." But here's the Words-L moment (for those of you in Broward County, Bill Sjostrom, and I, and a number of our net friends, hung out there regularly, and we sometimes drop back in): "I have not met a single person who is confident about waging war on Iraq. A noted novelist recently asked me, 'Do you know anyone who's in favor of this war? I don't!'" If memory serves, a prominent personage on Words-L had the same reaction to John Anderson not winning the Presidency in 1980.
