A medievalist, feminist, life-long student, and middle school teacher sounds off on any and all issues that inform any of those identities.
The name is simply a misspelling -- because English has lost a few characters over the years -- of the Anglo-Saxon words for "she" (Heo) and "said" (Cwaeth).
There are two basic rules for this blog:
1) Comments are welcome from anyone--agree or disagree--but will be deleted if they are vile.
2) I decide what's vile.

Fun with Irony
OK, many of you have probably seen this already, but I just discovered it. I like it even better than the dinosaur theory of Grendel.
Oh god, did you catch the "knowing nod" from Condi that they edited in after GW huskily says "tonigh, we can be as one, tonight"? Priceless.
But what I find particularly hilarious and instructive about this and the one where the editors make him sing "Imagine," is that in both videos, GWB is a much more mellifluous, rhythmic speaker than he is in real life, despite the fact that they're cobbled together. He should study these videos for lessons in cadence!
(PS -- I see that we were both a little absent from the blogosphere lately. Welcome back to us both!)

OK, that's fucking hilarious, pardon my French.
I feel like tearing my eyes out, just watching part of that. Hilarious, in a horrifying way.
