Chocolate in my Peanut Butter, Marxism in my Nihilism

This evening while poking around the local Barnes and Noble, I noticed a book entitled Marx: A Very Short Introduction. The author is Princeton academic Peter Singer, the famous ethicist (cough) and proponent of the theory that animals have rights while mentally-handicapped newborns do not. (Let's leave it at that; it gets worse from here). It occurred to me there's a golden opportunity for shameless cross-promotion here: "Marx and Singer together: Now with twice as many bad ideas!"

Also, memo to the lady talking to her friend in the Shakespeare section: "Temptest" is not a word.

  2. Okay, point taken. But it's not a noun.

  3. Maybe I should say "The Temptest" is not the name of a play.
