Navigation By Dead Reckoning

"In the midst of this chopping sea of civilized life, such are the clouds and storms and quicksands and thousand-and-one items to be allowed for, that a man has to live, if he would not founder and go to the bottom and not make his port at all, by dead reckoning, and he must be a great calculator indeed who succeeds." -Henry David Thoreau, "Where I Lived, What I Lived For," in Walden, 1854.

Hey Stupider.

According to CNN, "Conservative columnist Ann Coulter cut short a speech at the University of Connecticut amid boos and jeers, and decided to hold a question-and-answer session instead." The story quotes her as telling the crowd that "I love to engage in repartee with people who are stupider than I am."

Someone as smart as she thinks she is should know that "stupider" isn't even a word.

How embarrassing.
