Dewey Lecture

I chilling in the law school auditorium waiting for Joseph Raz to give a lecture. I'll let you know what I think, including whether I understand any of it--I read Raz for my Jurisprudence class, something about a concept of a concept.

For fun, here's Raz with his big Marx-like beard (bigger in real life):

Best Bible verse ever

2 Kings 2:23-25:

²³And he went up from thence unto Bethel. And as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him and said unto him, "Go up, thou bald head! Go up, thou bald head!"

²⁴And he turned back and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two shebears out of the wood and tore forty and two children of them.

²⁵And he went from thence to Mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.

Mocking bald people! Shebears! Kids getting mauled! This verse has it all!

"Separation Sunday" by the Hold Steady

I can't say enough good things about this album. It's (self-aware) bar-rock cliche done really, really well. Plus they're from Minneapolis (originally).
