Treatment

This post would provide a brief synopsis of my new TV series, in which a man is arrested for a terrible murder the police are almost certain he probably definitely didn't commit. Title: Sub-Prime Suspect.

Greek

This post would complain rather tediously about the loss of general knowledge of the ancient world, after someone came up with the word "nemeses", and someone in Slate wrote: "I was her mentor, and she was my mentee".

Apple

In this post I wonder how the religionists can grant me free will on the one hand, yet condemn me to Hell on the other for the sins of Adam, who I didn't know from ... himself.

Home

In this post, I would go on at great length about people who use the verb "to hone in".

Guilty

In this post I would invite all repressive legislators to prosecute me, because in my 50+ years I have certainly done the stuff you all find so reprehensible, and if I haven't -- if I never got round to it -- I would rather die on your rack than admit the fact and live in the world you would make.

Rights

This post would consider what an "unalienable right" could possibly be, if one of those enumerated, the right to life, can be summarily removed, either by executive order in particular, or by the maintenance of the death penalty in general.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

Infinitive

In this post I would chastise myself for my reaction of shock and disdain when a lady on the bus committed a grammatical error on asking the driver if he might allow her to get off, though the bus wasn't at a recognised stop.
