Today on Forum the guest was Dennis Kucinich. He used the words "hegemony" and "predicated" in the same paragraph, both correctly. It's no wonder he's not going to be President. Later he quoted the Bible, but then he said "predicated" again. It's a damn shame.

I saw him speak this Saturday--he was (is?) in MN and spoke at a fundraiser for an organization my fiance is involved with.

Though I imagine it was a fairly standard speech for him, it was not a typical stump speech. It was well-articulated, thoughtful, and he quoted, among others, Shelley and Emerson. And unlike when certain other public officials speak, I found myself thinking, "I bet he's actually read those books." I don't know how he'd be as a president, but he'd be a pretty good professor.

Yeah. Kate added this in email: "When I went to see him this weekend he used 'dialectic' and 'circumference' in the same paragraph."
