"This blog is so pretentious. Its not what CS Lewis and his mates did in their time is it?
May God spare us all from our own arrogance."

that "nexus of the intellectual universe" tagline, first off, is completely tongue in cheek.
No joke. We're not half as smart as we pretend to be.

I love the idea of someone taking the time to comment on a blog to let the bloggers know they're arrogant.
It's so . . . oh, what's the word? Arrogant.
Anyways, long long ago this would have sparked a nice little flame war. Now I just sort of shrug and think, "Ohh-kay."
I mean, I know I'm not the next C.S. Lewis.
C.S. Lewis was the first me.

I love comments like this!
This comment creates the self-satisfied (and arrogant!) response in me: "I'm glad I'm not this guy."

Jared -
I've heard Obama say lots of things.
I still have no idea what he's talking about.
It's all razzle dazzle.

If you were CS Lewis you might know. ;-}

You don't have to be C.S. Lewis to know he's a naked emperor.
I think they all are. Call me cynical but I don’t like either one of them and I hate the idea of picking the lesser of two evils. (You also know I was joking right)
I have yet to understand what these men actually have planned if they are elected. One has no real experience is an Oprahite tell them what they want to hear and do it in circles and the other is not telling me any real solutions.

All joking aside, yes, if C.S. Lewis and his friends had a blog, it would be way better than our little piece of carp corner of the b-sphere :-) - that "nexus of the intellectual universe" tagline, first off, is completely tongue in cheek.
