About This Blog

Dare to Dissemble is my little online ranting place, where I air my thoughts about the ridiculous state of affairs at the University of Alberta--a formerly strong public institution with tons of potential being driven into the ground by inept governance and irresponsible government funding policies. Comments are welcome, but not expected. Like most blogs on the internet, this one languishes in obscurity and is read for the most part by its proprietor.

Song of the Week: He's Misstra Know-It-All

This song of the week is dedicated to a certain Minister.  Stevie Wonder's He's Misstra Know-It-All appears on the truly awesome 1973 album, Innervisions.  Wikipedia says:

"The song is essentially a long description of a know-it-all confidence trickster character who is a "man with a plan," who has a slick answer to all his critics and who has "a counterfeit dollar in his hand."  It has been suggested that the song's subject was US President Richard Nixon..."

Here's the studio version on YouTube.  (Sorry, couldn't find any good quality live performances.)
