Today is Friday, Oct. 7, the 280th day of 2022.
There are 85 days left in the year.Today’s Highlight in History:
On Oct. 7, 1991, University of Oklahoma law professor Anita Hill publicly accused Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas of making sexually inappropriate comments when she worked for him; Thomas denied Hill’s allegations and would go on to win Senate confirmation.
On this date:
In 1765, the Stamp Act Congress convened in New York to draw up colonial grievances against England.
In 1916, in the most lopsided victory in college football history, Georgia Tech defeated Cumberland University 222-0 in Atlanta.
In 1949, the Republic of East Germany was formed.
In 1982, the Andrew Lloyd Webber-Tim Rice musical “Cats” opened on Broadway. (The show closed Sept. 10, 2000, after a record 7,485 performances.)
In 1985, Palestinian gunmen hijacked the Italian cruise ship Achille Lauro (ah-KEE’-leh LOW’-roh) in the Mediterranean. (The hijackers shot and killed Leon Klinghoffer, a Jewish-American tourist in a wheelchair, and pushed him overboard, before surrendering on Oct. 9.)
In 1989, Hungary’s Communist Party renounced Marxism in favor of democratic socialism during a party congress in Budapest.
In 1992, trade representatives of the United States, Canada and Mexico initialed the North American Free Trade Agreement during a ceremony in San Antonio, Texas, in the presence of President George H.W. Bush, Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney (muhl-ROO’-nee) and Mexican President Carlos Salinas de Gortari.
In 1996, Fox News Channel made its debut.
In 1998, Matthew Shepard, a gay college student, was beaten and left tied to a wooden fencepost outside of Laramie, Wyoming; he died five days later. (Russell Henderson and Aaron McKinney are serving life sentences for Shepard’s murder.)
In 2001, the war in Afghanistan started as the United States and Britain launched air attacks against military targets and Osama bin Laden’s training camps in the wake of the September 11 attacks.
In 2003, California voters recalled Gov. Gray Davis and elected Arnold Schwarzenegger their new governor.
In 2020, President Donald Trump returned to the Oval Office for the first time since he was diagnosed with COVID-19; he credited an experimental drug treatment with helping his recovery. Debating from behind plexiglass shields, Vice President Mike Pence and Democrat Kamala Harris zeroed in on Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic, with Harris labeling it “the greatest failure of any presidential administration” while Pence defended the overall response.

Five years ago: Country music star Jason Aldean, who had been on stage at an outdoor concert in Las Vegas less than a week earlier when a gunman opened fire on the crowd, paid tribute to the victims and to the late Tom Petty by opening “Saturday Night Live” with Petty’s song, “I Won’t Back Down.” Protesters rallied across Russia in a challenge to President Vladimir Putin on his 65th birthday; heeding calls from opposition leader Alexei Navalny to pressure authorities into letting him enter the presidential race.
One year ago: Abortions quickly resumed in at least six Texas clinics after a federal judge halted the most restrictive abortion law in the nation. (A federal appeals court would allow the law to go back into effect the following day.) The Senate dodged a U.S. debt disaster, voting to extend the government’s borrowing authority into December and temporarily avert an unprecedented federal default. (The House would approve the extension days later.) Google said it would crack down on digital ads promoting false claims about climate change, in hopes of limiting revenue for climate change deniers and stopping the spread of misinformation.

I was in college studying theology when Calvin and Hobbes went into syndication. Both the strip and its title fascinated me. So I wrote a final paper for a Western Civ class about it. The joke is not obvious, and I'm not certain even Bill Watterson completely intended it. Both John Calvin and Thomas Hobbes took a dim view of human nature, and both favored the notion of a benevolent dictatorship ruling the affairs of men as the true Divine order.Nope, because I'm not familiar with Calvin or Hobbes, the originals.And did you get the joke of the title?Calvin and Hobbes was definitely my favorite comic as a kid. :DAnd plays piano, and writes songs, and speaks Spanish, and writes code, and collects guns, and builds guns, and makes ammunition, and collects guitars, and has read Plato AND Aristotle, and Calvin AND Hobbes, and all the Federalist Papers...Wonder if he shoots guns and plays the guitar?

The joke is that Thomas Hobbes insisted that everything including thought was actually matter, physically real, and occupying time and space.
So, in the comic strip, Hobbes is "real," at least to Calvin, because he is the product of Calvin's thoughts. But Hobbes articulates the philosophical ideals of John Calvin - humility and submission to the predestined divine order - while six-year-old Calvin embodies the very human unruliness that Thomas Hobbes asserted made a dictatorial sovereign a political necessity.

Well, nearly perfect...Yup. A pluperfect asshole.I would never try to replace you. You are one of a kind.And plays piano, and writes songs, and speaks Spanish, and writes code, and collects guns, and builds guns, and makes ammunition, and collects guitars, and has read Plato AND Aristotle, and Calvin AND Hobbes, and all the Federalist Papers...Wonder if he shoots guns and plays the guitar? I'll have to befriend him to find out.Bret's been replaced. There is a dude who sits near me whose legal first name is Raz.There's our coinkydink of the day.
Haven't asked him yet if he smokes cigars.
I mean, these are appetites more than qualities. But if you're tryna replace me, you're gonna have to work a little harder than a sobriquet and knowing the business end of a cigar and a gun.

I had no idea. That's pretty deep. I was more of a Bloom County guy but don't ruin it for me and tell me there was a deeper meaning.I was in college studying theology when Calvin and Hobbes went into syndication. Both the strip and its title fascinated me. So I wrote a final paper for a Western Civ class about it. The joke is not obvious, and I'm not certain even Bill Watterson completely intended it. Both John Calvin and Thomas Hobbes took a dim view of human nature, and both favored the notion of a benevolent dictatorship ruling the affairs of men as the true Divine order.Nope, because I'm not familiar with Calvin or Hobbes, the originals.And did you get the joke of the title?Calvin and Hobbes was definitely my favorite comic as a kid. :DAnd plays piano, and writes songs, and speaks Spanish, and writes code, and collects guns, and builds guns, and makes ammunition, and collects guitars, and has read Plato AND Aristotle, and Calvin AND Hobbes, and all the Federalist Papers...Wonder if he shoots guns and plays the guitar?

The joke is that Thomas Hobbes insisted that everything including thought was actually matter, physically real, and occupying time and space.
So, in the comic strip, Hobbes is "real," at least to Calvin, because he is the product of Calvin's thoughts. But Hobbes articulates the philosophical ideals of John Calvin - humility and submission to the predestined divine order - while six-year-old Calvin embodies the very human unruliness that Thomas Hobbes asserted made a dictatorial sovereign a political necessity.
