Welcome to The Vanity Project

All blogs are vanity projects, of course, and this one doubly so: it is both a conceit and a concession that the kind of writing I hope to feature here has all the impact of an invisible tree falling in an imaginary forest . . . .

In some ways this isn't a blog at all, but a sort of anti-blog, committed to complete sentences, thoughtful prose, and -- where possible anyway-- an attitude of reasoned engagement with ideological controversies. Or perhaps it will degenerate into 'what I had for breakfast this morning' and 'ten reasons why network TV sucks'. But I hope not.

Comments would be a surprise-- because readers would be a surprise-- but a welcome one. I ask only that participants maintain a reasonable decorum. Thanks, and I hope you enjoy the site.

G.P.E.
