Must Read/Lewis H. Lapham

This piece by Lewis H. Lapham is a must read.  Absolutely brilliant.  The best thing I've read in weeks.

And second place goes to this piece by CD's favorite historian.

Gosh, what a fantastic morning of reading and stimulation.  When I thank the Internet gods every evening at bedtime I always mention Common Dreams and Counter Punch.

Nothing short of an injury will stop this kid, and those happen, unfortunately.

So who knows?

Baked

(Mike Leach)

The Oregon Ducks have baked and devoured their final batch of cupcakes for this season.

(Well, there remains Colorado, but that is down the road.)

Now it is time to see if Oregon is worthy of No. 3 and a Betty Crocker Award.  With No. 22 Arizona slipping into Eugene Saturday night for a final round of home cooking, we'll discover soon enough whether Oregon is a team of chefs or a gang of fry cooks.

As Rummy said before people lost their taste for him, "There are knowns and there are unknowns."

We know Oregon is a fast but young team and that Arizona has a veteran quarterback damn near old enough to be Marcus Mariota's father.

We know this and we know that.

Should be a great weekend of college ball as everybody plays somebody that matters.

Can't wait.

Tavern Scenes/Brouwer

(Buddy Dooley the way I envision him)

Something I can relate to at Tom Clark's Beyond the Pale.

The genius of Adriaen Brouwer, whose work was forged in his own time, giving testimony to his recognized powers.

He lived to the ripe-old age of 32.

Paul was such a doofus.  Still is.
