If you should fall
Into my arms
And tremble like a bloooooooooooooooogwatch!

Amy Welborn: Really good post on seminary visitation stuff.

Flos Carmeli defends Keats’s poetry and says he did have a philosophy. I dunno man, still not convinced, but have reached the limit of my own understanding of my initial claim, so perhaps should draw back….

Harriett Miers nomination stuff: Ramesh Ponnuru has a few questions. Rick Brookhiser looks on the bright side. Ninomania on the dangers both of Bush’s nominations pose for those seeking to strengthen a conservative legal intellectual movement. Todd Zywicki of Los Volokh on changing the legal culture, and why Miers probably won’t.

And this article alerts me to the best title ever for an academia novel: Eating People Is Wrong. Hee. The article identifies the typical subject of an academia novel as “the limits of liberalism” (or something like that–have already closed link and can’t be bothered to reopen)–would be interesting to see how many campus novels from the students’ perspective take the same theme. You should read The Secret History. For example. Though that’s more about the limits of modernity than about the limits of liberalism specifically.
