Have you noted the recent surge in the use of the construction "post-modern" ? I tell you, my patience for such crap is wearing thin these days. Here we have a term appropriated from architecture now being applied to politics.

Post-modern means "after now", which means "future", which in turn means "de facto how it's going to be". To self-annoint one's ideas as being "post-modern" therefore is, of course, inherently arrogant. If you are "progressive" enough eventually you will arrive at "post-modern". Horseshit, I say. I've got you all beat.

I hereby deem my blog (SOS) to be "post-progressive".
