hi

first post for me, hi all, whats crackin in the english world?

Presidential Lies

What a coincidence! I found this article in SFGate right after our discussion (in the 9:00am class) about George Washington and cherry trees. Look how much our presidents seem to lie. I think they would prefer to say they are "protecting the American people from the truth."

Can you trust the government? When do you feel your suckered by a government official or a political speech or action?

Post comments as comments.

Introduce yourselves

Hello!

I'm Tim Maxwell, your enthusiastic guide to the joys of college writing. I will be participating only occasionally in YOUR blog space, providing prompts or inserting my own thoughts when I can't help but join in.

Think of this as a place for conversation, not just monologues. You are REQUIRED to post at least a healthy paragraph or two each week.

For this week, you will need to introduce yourselves. Do so by posting a comment to this blog entry.

What is your name?

What gets YOUR attention?

What are your feelings about writing?

See you here and in class.

Tim
