ragnarhedin Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 Brian Leiter, a philosophy and law professor at the University of Texas at Austin (and a leftist), has published on his blog Amy and Leonard Peikoff's "GOP Converntion Program." Worth a look. http://webapp.utexas.edu/blogs/bleiter/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ragnarhedin Posted April 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 It should be made clear that the "DNC Convention Program" is something that has been circulating on the web, and is not the work of the Peikoffs. Only he "GOP Program" is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y_feldblum Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 They do match up fairly well; the DNC Program clearly is a take on the GOP Program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALP Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 They do match up fairly well; the DNC Program clearly is a take on the GOP Program. Nope, I'm afraid it's the other way around. I got the DNC program in my e-mail, and couldn't resist writing a similar GOP program. Of course I had Leonard help. Such a productive use of time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y_feldblum Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 Fair enough. One of them is clearly a take on the other, or they were both written as one. (And I didn't get either one in my email; boo hoo.) Of course, the GOP one is clearly funnier ( ). John Ashcroft, not an infidel, prays five times that day; Bush likely will be using many of the same sentences between his two presentations; and I assume Cheney will be leading the 11:30 panel....
