Vivien Leigh & Gone With The Wind
Tough week as the old computer crashed and burned. Be back on track soon, but here’s a little something to chew on in the meantime.
On May 3, 1937, the novel Gone With The Wind by Margaret Mitchell won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction. I really don’t care about the award, but why not exploit a chance to show Vivien Leigh as Scarlett O’Hara in the role for which she won an Oscar as best actress. Again, these awards couldn’t be more meaningless, but it gives the kids something to shoot for.
Anyway, here’s Ms. Leigh doing her best imitation of a modern politician with their head in the sand about the reality of our world.
Life. Culture. Education.
Life as Pop Culture Professor Clay Morgan
In The Matrix, Morpheus tells Neo he can take the blue pill and go on believing whatever he wants to believe. Or he can take the red pill to stay in Wonderland and find out how deep the rabbit hole goes.
This is a red pill type site that provides information in an entertaining way. It’s about clear thinking and good writing. It’s about finding meaning amidst the absurd. It’s about humor and truth.
I’m a writer / speaker who teaches history and political courses at a couple of local colleges. Where is local, you say? Well, that would be Wonderland of course.
On topics ranging from pop culture to the meaning of life, my brain’s always poppin’. Take the red pill and unplug.
