Merton's thoughts on the finding that Eichmann was legally "sane": "sanity" is overrated in a world where mass destruction is considered an acceptable way of waging war. Given the modern situation, no Christian should aspire to sanity or realism.

Randomly generates some text about all the great things Barack Obama did for you: wrote on your FunWall, gave you a puppy, loves your laugh, made you a mixtape, told me to tell you hello.

Reagan's speechwriter points out that Obama's charisma and personality will make negative campaigning and dirty tricks by Republicans look even lower than they are. Clinton will be "easier for Republicans" to go after in the nastiest way possible.

Lantos will be familiar to anyone who's seen Spielberg's Holocaust documentary, "Last Days," as well as anyone who's followed human-rights debates in Congress over the past thirty years. His death (from esophageal cancer, at age 80) is a real loss.

Inspiring, but also provocative and fascinating. Havel basically insists that some kind of religiousness is all that can "save" us now, though he doesn't really say how or what.

I use Facebook every day now. I'm pretty well hooked. But this article, which talks about the intellectual pedigree (Girard), political sympathies ("Thatcherite") and financial connections (the CIA) of its board, gives me the creeps in a big way.

Another Žižek essay, "Welcome to the Desert of the Real," from 2001. Also on my reading list. Looks more closely at the images of violence and devastation and their role in the popular, post-9/11 imagination.

Ron Paul has published regular newsletters since the late 70s. They espouse some very bitter and virulently bigoted positions on race, among other issues and portray him as a real conspiracy-mongering lunatic. Whether Paul himself actually wrote the artic

Yesterday in Michigan: "What we need to do is amend the Constitution so it's in God's standards rather than trying to change God's standards..." Someone explain to me how this is not Christian Reconstructionism.

I've wondered for a long time when someone would make this point publicly: "development" of the developing world is ecologically unsupportable. He calls the promise of development "a cruel hoax."
