Well, in leiu of the full story I wanted to tell, I will give you a list:
6 tuxedoes, including 1 with tails.
4 white linen suits
3 extremely garish smoking jackets
2 full length men's fur coats, one new and one from the era when men who weren't pimps wore fur.
6 sear sucker suits.
1 box marked "ties, wide"
1 box marked "ties, narrow"
1 jillion Hawiian shirts
1 skidillion indonesian-style shirts
1 pair of bright green suit pants with little whales on them.
I promise pictures to come. I also promise to follow through on the tractatus comics.
Also of note:
Campus politics
The Nation has articles on the right's assult on liberal professors. This is an overview, this addresses the way Horowitz et al are turning the left's tools against us, and this deals with the situation at Columbia.
Good quote from the lead article
Mumper's comments to the press illustrate how unprepared he was for attention. He explained to the Columbus Dispatch that "80 percent or so" of professors "are Democrats, liberals or socialists or card-carrying Communists," as if for a moment he forgot what decade he lived in. When a journalist asked him if he had ever met a communist, Mumper explained the term was a euphemism for "people who try to over-regulate and try to bring in a lot of issues we don't agree with." At the same time, he admitted that "we're going to put in some ways to monitor classrooms" to enforce the academic bill of rights. The irony of this was noted by numerous commentators.
Yesterday I said in class that I knew of no secular bioethicist who supports keeping Terri Shiavo alive. I wounder if I'll be ratted out to Horowitz.
PZ Meyers
...is a kinda freaky dude.
Bioethics.net
...has the best ongoing coverage of the Shiavo case and its implications
