Weekend 120.0
(1) More art from Makoto Shinkai and 5 Centimeters Per Second.
(2) Go BLUE! I'm off to see if the New York Football Giants can salvage their season.
(3) A book review
quote from Randy Stafford...
"Most American conservatives, especially since Sept. 11th, exhibit signs of brain damage. And John Derbyshire diagnoses the problem: too much happy talk, too much optimism and not enough pessimism. There are limits about what man can do with himself and the natural world. Humans are not blank slates that can be remade to fit whatever utopian scheme can be dreamed up. Conservatives are supposed to know this and see things as they are. Liberals are there to take care of the happy talk and wishful thinking."
