26 Feb 07 buoyant flotsam in an ocean of hurt.

I got nothing right now, the brain is totally frazzled. Sometimes I wish I were a cow, that way I'd have four-stomachs and it would easier to digest all of this stuff. Two day intake includes the three (rather bleak) movies already mentioned, several civil rights speeches (X and King of course), a ridiculously dense article on the authoritarian-libertarian value change in advanced industrial democracies, new issue of The Nation (and had to catch up on last week's issue), new issue of Wired and I started reading Sam Harris' The End of Faith.

So far it is really good, I like Harris' style and he doesn't pull any punches. He's the most extreme of the new atheist movement which I've grown increasingly interested in. Wired profiled him along with Richard Dawkins and Daniel Dennet back in November. It's a really good article if you are a fellow skeptic, check it and let's discuss.

It's late, Colbert is almost over and I've got a long day tomorrow. Gotta be on my A-game. Later kids.
