Election post coming later

For now, it was on this day in 1967 that President Lyndon B. Johnson signed into law the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967, creating the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Additional funding for this post was provided by a grant from the Chubb Foundation and the support of Viewers Like You. Thank you. Okay, now for the friday5.org Friday Five.

1. What usually marks the middle of your day?
My days are so irregular there’s no real marked "middle" to them. The middle of my teaching days starts with the first of my two sections of Composition I.

2. From whom (or to whom) was your most recent middle-of-the-night phone call?
Hardly anyone calls me as it is, and even if someone tried to call me in the middle of the night I wouldn’t know because my phone’s turned off when I sleep. I guess I’ve gotten a wrong number or two in the middle of the night through the years.

3. On what social, political, economic, or moral issue are you in the middle of the road?
Nothing? Seriously, I’m very far to the left on most issues, at least by United States terms. In global terms I guess I’d be a centrist on the economy, because I believe in neither pure socialism nor pure laissez-faire capitalism.

4. How likely are you to give someone your middle finger?
That’s something I’ve gotten out of the habit of doing, although I did it a lot when I was younger.

5. When were you last caught in the middle of a disagreement that really had nothing to do with you?
My in-class discussions generate these kinds of disagreements all the time. I can’t remember the last one specifically, but it would have had to have been about the election given the way Wednesday’s classes went.
