really? I don't know MUCH about Bloom or Epstein for that matter, but I know that Bloom bugs the crap out of me.

"more dancing girls, music, and wine"... YES!!! Now THAT is what my Christian liberal arts college was missing. That is what academics SHOULD be like!

Bloom may pronounce ex cathedra but that doesn't mean we have to accept the edicts. It just means that he's kinda pompous and we can pick and choose among his pronouncements with our own discernment. And... Academic infighting is par for the course. I think it's funny. It's definitely more entertaining than, say, a 2007 Mariners game.

Some of the greatest (but unrecognized) spiritual teachers are "Ex Cathedra", and like Bloom, they are really into Blake. I present to you, the "Blaketashi Darwishes"

I present to you that Bloom is a douchebag. Determining which person is a bigger douchebag is really not worthy of time or criticism. You have too much time on your hands. Get a fucking life.

B.D., thank you. I'm so glad you are out there fighting douchebagism. You are awesome. Keep up the good fight!
