Gadflies- I am unashamedly using certain school assignments to double as posts on the rather silent site of late. I used to do history segments, now I am doing literary critique and opinion peices. Where did I go wrong. Horatius, Romulus, where are you! The following is a analysis of the argument proffered by a [...]
Some of you loyal Gadflies out there, having seen the results of my last assault upon “Liberal” education may be surprised to see me leveling my sword at the dragon once again. Some of you may not. But I resent being used as a sponge, being used by socialist professors who determine the curriculum at [...]
I apologize in advance for the somewhat technical nature of this post. I really did try to make it as accessible as possible. For those of you who don’t know, I am a web programmer by trade.

I argue that men did these things because women would marry and bear their children. It was understood that [...]

I realize it has been a goodly stretch of time since I bored you all with one of my “History of the Day” segments, and I thought that today would be a grand day to make you suffer again. Everyone but Fabius and El Cid, that is. On a slightly more serious note, I hope [...]
From Jim Geraghty’s morning newsletter: When did President Obama’s public agenda begin to really focus on the oil spill on a daily basis? When the story became about him.
Well, if you’re a Gadfly reader and live in Nevada, head to the polls today (but, of course, only if you have time to inform yourself thoroughly about the candidates…I am really bothered by the ‘get out and vote’ meme that acts like voting in and of itself is a good thing to do). In [...]
