WELCOME TO MY WORLD. Here are some links I found today. Enjoy.

Deep Thoughts by Children. (They’re asked to imitate Jack Handy. Great stuff.)

My brother-in-law’s homepage, with many nifty resources for history students (and anyone seeking paper-writing advice). Oh, and anyone who wants to know too much about the Metro.

Death and taxes: Excellent anti-estate tax post by Tepper. (And by the way, he’s totally right about political philosophers just making stuff up. Can anyone recommend a polit. phil.–not an economist or pointer-out-of-unintended-consequences-that-reveal-truths-about-human-nature–worth reading? I find Burke very cool, but insufficient; F. Hayek and C. Murray are POOUCTRTAHN’s; Rawls and Nozick are improv comedians; L. Strauss is fun, but certainly not a full-course meal. Any recommendations?)

Just one of the many perks of life in the District of Chaos: The Style Invitational. Learn about The Brothers Kalashnikov; Citizen Kant; Huckleberry Fink; and so much more.

Amy Welborn rocks, especially her series on “How to Cope with the Present Calamities: For Catholics and People who Don’t Despise Them Yet.”
