Oot and aboot. Hey David: just goofing off and popping around when I have work to do, but I noticed a post over at Eve Tushnet's that reminded me of an argument we were once having, during which you caviled "Hey, stop dissin' the Enlightenment!" I have no memory of what we were discussing, but Eve has a collection of her own links dissin' the Enlightenment, which you might enjoy.

Haven't read the links myself yet; I don't get by that blog often but enjoy her stuff when I do. In addition to the above, not only does it it remind me that I should have planned for today one last victory for carne in the Battle between Carnival and Lent, but informs me that Jonathan Gewirtz and I are not the only bloggers attuned to...vulture-blogging!

Elsewhere, I think Angie Schultz has quite the best take on the Eason Jordan affair. It's all about that fatal temptation to swank. But isn't everything?

Thanks for the reminder re: Carnival; I'll pick up some alcoholic cheer on the way home.

I'll deal with with Tushnet's Enlightenment-maligning (Twain!? W.T.F.?!) some other time, possibly after consuming some of said cheer.

Wow, that is bad news about the vultures. Maybe we should start a breeding program? This might be a good place to start.

Regarding vultures: one of the rewarding things about the study of ecology is that it allows you to trace the way that, over and over again, the law of unintended consequences smacks us all in the head.

Some good background info here.
