Goal I'm almost ashamed to admit.

I started to write a post with that title, but realized I was too ashamed to admit it.

It's cruel to tease us.

Gort: Maybe that's my shameful goal: to be cruel!

Meta-House vs. Althouse: which is crueller? And would you like some coffee with that crueller?

de Sade said that there was a "certain voluptuousness in cruelty." Maybe that's the tease gort mentioned!

Let's induce Ann to come clean by hypothesizing what she MIGHT be ashamed of having as a goal:

My suggestion:

She is going to break the habit of kissing the photo of Glenn Reynolds on the computer screen every night before retiring to bed.

Gort:

Klaatu barata nikto!!!

Ann Althouse చెప్పారు...

I'm almost sure to reach the goal soon and I'll have a new post when I do saying "goal reached."

Ann Althouse చెప్పారు...

If I reveal it before I reach it, people could help me reach it, but I don't want extra help. That would impair the value of reaching it.
