Do they qualify?While the hairpiece may be a tad snug under your motorcyclehelmet, we have many places under the big tent of Adornoinspired Communist philosophy of the Frankfurt school circa 1950.It is the preferred sociological system of tenured hackmeisters.

A quick check of WHO's ON shows a rather odd configuration:The Biker, The Snowman and the Homeland Security Iconare all online at the same time.Whatever could this mean?

I am a little disappointed with the business through the turnstiles over the weekend at the Theodore Hair Club for Men.Perhaps a name change is in order; we have:Alfred and the Chipmunks:(1) Alfred Adler (inventor of "Superiority" and "Inferiority" Complex)(2) Theodore Adorno (see prior posts)(3) Simon/Sigmund Freud (see 20th century)So, that's Theodore, Sigmund and Alfred.

Hamilton, like an acute observer he is, has been keeping scores and proving the existence of Godwin's Law.QuoteGodwin's Law /prov./ [Usenet] "As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one." There is a tradition in many groups that, once this occurs, that thread is over, and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically lost whatever argument was in progress. Godwin's Law thus practically guarantees the existence of an upper bound on thread length in those groups.
