Today's Theme Is: Idiots

We just had to point out that Stanley Fish, like Sarah Palin, is an idjit. This is not a great revelation, but if he wants to put this inane blather before us, he deserves to be abused.

Hell, we needn't abuse him, he abuses hinself:
Postmodernism announces (loudly and often) that a supposedly neutral, objective rationality is always a construct informed by interests it neither acknowledges nor knows nor can know. Meanwhile science goes its merry way endlessly inventing and proliferating technological marvels without having the slightest idea of why. The “naive faith” Habermas criticizes is not a faith in what science can do — it can do anything — but a faith in science’s ability to provide reasons, aside from the reason of its own keeping on going, for doing it and for declining to do it in a particular direction because to do so would be wrong.
We love it when postmodernism is attacked by a ninny so deep in his own conventional, never examined wisdom & morality (or whatever Fish thinks that his mumblings are) he can't see the forest or the trees.

Go, Fish!
