“As I used to tell my [writing] apprentices, what you want most is intelligent praise. If you can’t have intelligent praise, you’ll take stupid praise. If you can’t have stupid praise, then the third-best thing is intelligent criticism. And, of course, the worst thing is stupid criticism.”
John Barth

Uncle Sam needs your help again
He's got himself in a terrible jam
Way down yonder in I-ran
So put down your books...
