Steven Pinker is also Not God. I know a lot of people who are Not God. But I don't know Steven Pinker. We just have him under closer surveillance. Paul Wolfowitz. Not God. George Clooney. Not God. <BR/><BR/>I always feel much better after I've added a few names to the list. Paula Poundstone. Not God. Kyle Broflovski. Not God. Ann Coulter. Not God. Little Debbie. Not God, but heavenly.<BR/><BR/>Oh, the list goes on and on.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06520766339607689791noreply@blogger.com
