I have probably commented enough already, but stating as Bagehot does here that "retaining the state pension" is a benefit to remaining in the British Union is ridiculous beyond belief.
Shame on you, Bagehot.
That is simply pathetic, and pretty funny too if the purpose of the article is to warn against scaremongering and negativity in the Unionist cappaign. You just can't help it...
As all readers of The Economist will surely know, and as Bagehot must know, the UK pays state pensions out of current government income. There is no state pension fund (unlike, er, Norway). The UK government has a cumulative deficit now exceeding £1.7 trillion. Scotland more than pays its fair share of UK government taxation. So exactly why are pensions going to stop after independence? Hello, the Scottish taxpayer is paying for them already.
Dear, dear.
The more I hear of this campaign, it becomes clear to me that in reality, Britain has much more to lose than Scotland, if independence is passed.
The argument about the pound is really instructive. UK and Ireland were bound together for decades in a currency union without problems. Extrapolating from the Euro are problems sounds superficially plausible, but it is clear that this argument is heard most because it is the one that sounds most logical and reasonable.
"Terribly sorry old chap, it just wouldn't work"
In reality the pound is not really relevant. What matters is the identities of Scottish and British people and this is a painful subject to discuss. The undercurrent of the debate is the unstated, emotional fear in Westminster.
Scotland, outside the UK, is still Scotland, pound or no pound. In contrast, without Scotland, the UK is no longer meaningful. It is just England and ex-colonies. Psychologically this is huge. Westminster defines itself as the nerve centre of something much bigger than England. Without Scotland, Westminster is only an important center of power because of England, and to be honest, England's power comes increasingly from the supercity that is London.
Yes, what is the positive case for the Union - from Scotland's perspective? You, Economist, as one of its staunchest defenders should surely be able to tell us. Also, why could an independent Scotland not become another prosperous European country like Denmark, Norway or Switzerland?
Without yet establishing a positive case for Unionism, why does the Economist elect to lobby for the Unionist cause?
Whatever happened to principles?
Bagehot will no doubt, from its present position of bias, build some positive case for Unionism. Eventually. I can think of a few points (military power projection, UN Security Council & influence on multinational institutions).
Most credible positive visions do not require the UK union to exist, since they come from EU membership (free labour mobility, single market law, broader domain to simplify patents, trademarks and business registration/ admin, competition). Many positive visions are unrealistic (e.g. lower legal costs from a single UK legal space - but Scottish law is already distinct).
Many positive visions for an independent Scotland relate to ending the authoritarian and devastating omnishambles of visa-education-financial-oil-aviation-diplomacy-online policy from Westminster. Scotland could build a better set of institutions, and there are many concrete proposals coming from grass roots movements.
The present government's "positive" vision for the UK seems to be nepotism (school friends divvying up political offices and corporate positions), insularism (shutting off Scottish universities to international students & academics with brutal visa rules; cutting off Scottish businesses from global markets), little England UKIP pop wars, cutting welfare below subsistence levels (real human suffering; divisive implications), near elimination of capital expenditure, undermining online freedom (logging all activity, compulsory ISP traffic filtering) and perpetuating WMDs on the Clyde (with multiple nuclear reactors, frequent nuclear incidents and radiation leaks where over a million people live within a 30 km radius).
Sorry folks, but the UK political mainstream has abandoned inclusive, liberal and social democratic principles. Freedom matters - but in the Little England mutual distrust prevails and everyone seems to sellout freedom for "security", to Scapegoat multinational institutions and to back a class stratified authoritarian state. In Scotland we can do better.
Ireland and Iceland are still prosperous countries an whatever their troubles, they are never going back to join the UK or Denmark.
Were we to examine Ireland's fate before partition, the case for staying in the Union would look particularly bad. Dispossession, war, famine, religious discrimination etc. Ireland only really became prosperous after joining the EEC, then EU. Ireland was doing fine until 2002, then blew it all up with cheap money from Germany.
Scotland would be fine outside the Union. Scotland has real industries and world class products. If anything oil might ruin it.
It is the UK that has the most to lose. After Scottish independence, the UK ceases to exist. Independence could be destabilising to the rest of the UK, perhaps to other European countries too (cf Catalonia, Basques).
No-one sems to have picked up on the slanderous aside at the start of this article, so I will.
"After reports that nationalist hoodlums... were planning to disrupt it".
Is this really how low the Better Together campaign has sunk? Show me one "nationalist hoodlum", never mind a gang of them in East Kilbride. Seriously?
This is Better Together's justification for their embarrassingly small turnout, and your reporter just repeated it without any journalistic cynicism, fact checking or even, frankly, reality checking? Why on earth would your reporter be so remiss?
Meanwhile, back in the real world, the only two genuine media reports to date of violence occuring in association with the independence referendum campaign involve an old age pensioner carrying a 'Yes' banner who was assaulted by a middle aged woman in the street in Edinburgh, and an SNP MSP in a bar in Kirkcaldy who, while discussing independence, was grabbed by the throat by a unionist.
You can check those facts.
In all fairness to the Unionist campaign, I think the assailants mentioned are indvidual nutters, at least one probably the worse for drink, and clearly not in any way part of an organised effort.
However, if I was to envisage where any future potential trouble could arise, it would be from quite a different direction from fictitous East Kilbride nationalist gangs. Perhaps your reporter might care to think what direction that might be?
Bitter Together
If the Unionists have difficulty making a positive case for the Union to the Scots, it is a likely sign that the Union has outlived its purpose. It was was very positive for Scotland to join the Union as the British Empire was expanding across the globe, but in this day and age there is very little benefit to remain part of the Union, so the Unionists by and large resort to nostalgia and delivering fearful messages to the Scottish public. Perhaps it is about time to put the Union out of its misery, so that the remaining parts of Britain can be reformed as well.
His minority Scottish government did so hilariously badly that it was re-elected with a majority, under a proportional system. And it is currently polling support from over 40% of the Scottish electorate, well into a second term.
But hey, what do the Scottish electorate know about anything?
Who can vote in the referendum?
Answer: People who can vote in Scottish Parliamentary and local government elections will be able to vote in the referendum.
The following groups are entitled to be on the electoral register for the referendum:
* British citizens resident in Scotland.
* Commonwealth citizens resident in Scotland who have leave to remain in the UK or do not require such leave.
* Citizens of the Republic of Ireland and other EU countries resident in Scotland.
* Members of the House of Lords resident in Scotland.
* Service personnel serving in the UK or overseas with the armed forces who are registered to vote in Scotland.
* Crown personnel serving outside the UK with HM Government who are registered to vote in Scotland.
The key difference from normal voting arrangements is that the minimum age for voting in the referendum will be 16 instead of 18. This means that people who will be 16 years old by 18 September 2014, and are otherwise eligible, can register to vote.
When I started reading the article I was expecting that The Economist would come up with the positive case for the Union, but it has failed to do so, just as these Unionist politicians in Glasgow. Apparently, there is no positive case to be made, by both the British politicians and one of the most respected magazines in Britain.
The Economist does what it is criticizing in this article - negativity - "nationalist pipe dreams". Where is the Economist positive vision for the UK? It is difficult to propagate and becoming more difficult as people in Scotland realize that our economy is stronger than that of the UK as recognized by S&P and Fitch, and of course the OECD has Scotland 4 places above the UK (which of course includes Scotland's contributions). It is, and I understand it well,difficult for people in the rUK to come to terms with their realities. So who are the "pipe-dreamers"? We have more people in work, less unemployment and better inward investment than the rUK, excepting London! If this is what "pipe-dreaming" brings about let's have more of it. RUK may continue it's own "pipe-dreams" well known up here and around the world.
Since both Fitch and S&P have indicated that an independent Scotland would start with top ratings they are clearly more confident about an independent Scotland than they are about the UK!
Scotland within the UK rates 14th the RUK rates at 18th - now as a percentage their rating is slightly more than slightly. If Scotland were taken out of the UK figures UK rating would drop! I did not write at any stage that this was to do with Scotland as an independent but if we do so well in the current situation where our nation is run on a returned portion of our money where could we be outside of the restraints of a backward looking UK? By your own logic it follows that Scotland actually makes uk look better than it is.
Mikeylano - clearly you have a sense of humour. You don't find it hilarious watching Cameron and Clegg trying to run anything? How very colonial of you!
The failure to come up with the positive case has done the No campaign untold amounts of damage for the simple reason that there is nothing in their vision to incentivise anyone. This can be seen in the pitiful numbers of activists that No can put on the streets, in contrast to the ever-growing grassroots Yes campaign. Better Together regularly refuse to send speakers to public meetings, refuse to debate - you might begin to think they are scared of participative democracy.
Had the unionists had the sense to say 'it's your choice and we'll support Scotland whatever it chooses to do' they would have won hands down. But they didn't, and now they will lose.
You would have to find these non-existent hoodlums first. Or even just a single hoodlum. Because they do not exist, nor does anyone in East Kilbride actually believe they exist.
Bagehot really hit a low with that article. Even the Daily Mail might not have printed that.
Compare it to the Economist's stated goal "to take part in a severe contest between intelligence, which presses forward, and an unworthy, timid ignorance obstructing our progress."
A better example of "unworthy, timid ignorance" will rarely have appeared in the pages of the Economist.
Perhaps you are right.
(5) Forget all the other points, you can look them up yourself if you don't believe me. This fear is exactly what I mean. If the Scots were afraid of this scaremongering about the pound then the polls in favour of independence would not be rising as they have been. The No campaign had a much bigger lead, but for the reasons the article outlined, instead of making a positive case for Scotland to remain they focused on threats. You can't join the EU, you can't keep the pound, you will be poor etc. This is driven by the fact that Westminster loses power, loses prestige, and yes, becomes an English parliament. It's not about then end of empire, that's long gone, it is about their identity as a country. Many, perhaps most British people think of themselves as belonging to something larger more than England, even though most of them are English. If Scotland leaves, that identity is undermined. This is driving the fear, and fear is driving the negative campaigning, which is backfiring.
Maybe some Scottish do fear about the post-independence economics, but they don't fear the loss of Scottishness. Anyway fear does not work for the very simplest of reasons. Those who are going to vote yes will do so for nationalist reasons. Those who are going to vote no will do so because they hate the politics in Holyrood, simply put they are unionists, which is essentially a different flavour of nationalism. Nobody is going to vote yes or no based on economics. It is not that kind of a question.
Interesting you talk about Norway. Perhaps you should talk to your Norwegian friends and try to convince them to rejoin the Swedish crown. See what they say about that. Norway didn't leave Sweden because of economics.
Maybe you do know about Norway, but it's clear you knowledge of Ireland or Scotland is little more than spiteful factoids you heard in a pub somewhere. Try visiting these countries sometime. You might see they are more than subsidy junkies or tax havens or pleasant places to drink or fish. But then again, perhaps not.
I suggest you read the 650 page White Paper published by the Scottish Government.
It may take you a bit longer to read it than world speed-reading champion Alistair Darling, of course.
Within an hour if the publication of the White Paper Mr Darling was memorably on BBC Radio Scotland telling the listeners how the document didn't address "any of the important issues". And for some reason the interviewer didn't ask him how fast he could read.....
"All that lovely EEC/EU aid money pouring in"
A cheap jibe which though often repeated doesn't make it true. And it is interesting you mention the "Eastern Europeans". Ireland gave out as much if not more money to the new accession countries via the wages given to Polish and other migrants than ever received from the EU. Ireland did get EU structural funds which were used to improve infrastructure, not squandered as they were elsewhere. And this investment paid off in terms of FDI. In terms of money received, Ireland got vastly more in FDI from US companies than from the EU, e.g. Intel, Amdahl, Apple, Dell and latterly Google, Paypal.
The economy prospered on industry, not on handouts. Ireland allowed citizens of newly accession countries to come and work 7 years before France. Furthermore, Ireland allowed Romanians and Bulgarians to come and work over a year before Britain. Your memory is faulty. The issues that were of concern in Ireland during the EU treaty amendments were neutrality and abortion. There was overwhelming support in Ireland to allow new accession countries to join.
And I do not suggest a breakup at all.
I said, if you actually read it, that the UK has more to lose than Scotland, and that it could be destabilising. I did not say this is a good thing.
And you talk about Spain blocking Scotland's entry. Yes, maybe they would try to do this. But it would be incredibly petty to do this and would be difficult to sustain. But these are irrelevant arguments, the key point here is Scottish and British identity. The currency, defense, EU etc is all just secondary issues that would need to negotiated amongst dozens of other things. What matters is what it means to Scotland.
No-one can say how Scotland will do outside the Union. It is not unreasonable to imagine they will prosper as well as Denmark. But the UK ceases to be a relevant concept, even if Scotland keeps the Queen.
Westminster becomes an English parliament, this is what is driving the No campaign, fear. And as I said this is not unreasonable fear. But I think the damage to the Scottish-UK relationship has already been done. Blair tried to remedy it with a devolved parliament, but possibly made things worse.

Re: 3M Cloud App on NSTGlow?
FulltimeRVer Apr 12, 2013 6:05 PM (in response to Teeupaway)Install Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) on your computer (it's free).
From your library web site, when you select the ePub format and tell it you want to borrow the book, it will automatically download the book to your computer, and the book will show up in the ADE.
Connect your NOOK to your computer with its USB cable. The NOOK will appear as a new device in ADE.
In ADE, drag the book from "All Items" to the NOOK entry. That will copy the book to your NOOK.
Before disconnecting the NOOK from the computer, "eject" it in Windows Explorer. If you don't, you will sooner or later have phantom books on your NOOK.

Re: 3M Cloud App on NSTGlow?
Teeupaway Apr 13, 2013 9:16 PM (in response to bklvr896)Thanks bklvr896! I still haven't been able to download my library books to the STG, but you pointed me to the website and further investigation. There is actually a video of how to download books to the ST!
They do mention that it isn't able to sync with other nooks though.
I haven't been able to do it yet as it asks for login and password information which doesn't correspond to anything I tried. I called the library and stumped their expert - the one responsible for installing the program. (It's quite new at our library, and offers a very limited supply of books at this time. He will get back to me when he figures it out!
So there is a way.....
Again, thanks!

Apache Unleashes New Tomcat Open-Source Web Server
Apache Unleashes New Tomcat Open-Source Web Server
Darryl K. Taft
Posted 2010-06-29
The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) has announced Version 7.0 release of Apache Tomcat, the popular open-source Java web server. Tomcat 7.0 is the first major release of the software since 2006.
The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) has announced Version 7.0 release of Apache Tomcat, the popular open-source Java web server. Apache Tomcat 7 is the project's first major release since 2006, fully implementing the Java Servlet 3.0, JavaServer Pages (JSP) 2.2, and Expression Language (EL) 2.2 specifications for easier Web framework integration. One of the ASF's earliest projects, the Tomcat code base was first donated to the ASF in 1999; the first Apache release, v.3.0, was made later that year.
Tomcat 7 makes it simpler to write and deploy complex Web applications, providing out-of-the-box support for development features that would otherwise be coded manually.
Developers using Tomcat 7 also will benefit from improved memory leak detection and prevention and support for 'aliasing' directories into an application's URL space. All known bugs reported in previous versions of Tomcat have been fixed in v.7.0. Apache is an all-volunteer group that serves as developers, stewards, and incubators of 143 open source projects and initiatives. Apache Tomcat is shepherded by dozens of volunteers who contribute updates to its code base; its day-to-day operations, including community development and product releases, are overseen by a project management committee. "Developers can rely on Tomcat 7 for faster, more reliable application development and integration, providing both a better user experience and better use of server resources," said Mark Thomas, a member of the Apache Tomcat Project Management Committee.
With more than 10 million downloads to date, Apache Tomcat powers a broad range of websites. "MuleSoft applauds the Apache Tomcat team on the release of Tomcat 7," said Ross Mason, founder and CTO of MuleSoft, in a statement. "The improvements in this new release leverage advances in Java, including the Servlet 3 specification, significantly improving the lives of the world's Web application developers. This release includes more than 10 years of active community development effort, continuing Tomcat's lead as the best Java web application server to power the enterprise." "I am delighted to see this first release of Apache Tomcat 7," said Rod Johnson, general manager of the SpringSource division of VMware. "Tomcat has always been the most popular deployment platform for Spring-based applications and this new release adds some great production technology. Tomcat's small footprint and reliable execution make it the ideal choice for the runtime component of SpringSource's tc Server. These features are also proving particularly important as organizations move their workloads to the cloud." Tomcat versions 5.x and 6.x will continue to be supported; however, bug fixes or updates to possible security vulnerabilities in earlier versions may be slightly delayed. Tomcat 7 is released under the Apache Software License v2.0. Downloads, documentation, and related resources are available at

Selected for the The Times of London's 100 Best Blogs List (15 February 2009)
Here is my annual Stupor Bowl Sunday rant. Enjoy. It is from 2009. The year before, the event was held in Phoenix. The damned thing is back again.
No day without a post, so here you go. And that reminds me of a Warron Zevon number.
I am working on a substantial post. I hope to upload it tomorrow.

Robert Paul Wollf here replies with wit and lefty snark to a charming request by one Pamela N., a personal assistant, who wants to know who Immanuel Kant is referring to when he writes, "Caius is a man; man is mortal; therefore, Caius is mortal." Pamela confesses,
I will admit, I have not read Kant's works. I have, however, spent the last couple of hours combing through post after post after post about this particular quote from the book and cannot find a single soul who would say who they think Caius is. In reading these many posts, I have come to the conclusion that Kant is probably referring to Pope Caius as he has been venerated by the Catholic Church as a Saint. Given that title, and the fact that Saint's [sic] are given to [sic] a quasi-immortal status [sic], I have ascertained that this is who Kant is most likely referring to. My question for you is, do you think that my assumption is correct? or do you have a deeper insight into who he is referring to?
Big road trip last weekend: Phoenix, Barstow, Bakersfield, Santa Barbara and back by a different route. The Jeep Wrangler runs on unleaded regular. Paid $3.349/gal on 9/27 at Quartzsite, AZ off of I-10, one of the last Arizona gas-ups enroute to California. Wait 'til Blythe on the California side of the Colorado River and you will get 'hosed.' In Barstow, same day, I paid 3.579/gal at a Circle K. In Bakersfield on 9/30 paid $3.979 at a Shell station. Back home, yesterday, at Costco, $3.099/gal. Home, sweet home.
And the Sonoran desert is so much prettier than the Mojave! But all deserts are beautiful to questers and other oddballs.
I'd like to get my hands on a copy of Maria Reicher, ed., States of Affairs (Ontos Verlag, 2009). I didn't find it in the ASU catalog and so I headed over to Amazon.com where I found a used copy for the entirely reasonable price of $9,999.99 plus $3.99 shipping and handling. I kid you not. You might think they'd throw in free S & H on orders over $5,000.00.
Maybe it is like this. The whole world is Amazon's oyster, and in that wide world there are quite a few ontology freaks, your humble correspondent one of them, and probably a couple crazy enough to fork over $10 K for this collection of essays. So why not ask a ridiculous price? You just might get it.
Does anyone in Ontology Land have a copy of this collection that he or she is willing to part with?
I will put it to good use. I have been invited to contribute an essay to a volume commemorating the late David M. Armstrong. My essay is tentatively entitled "Facts: Realism, Anti-Realism, Semi-Realism." So I need to be en rapport with all the latest literature.
Update (9/3). My explanation three paragraphs supra is mistaken. See Mark B.'s comment for a much better one.
Summer once again subsides into the sweetness of September. This calls for a song, September in the Rain, not that there is much that could be called rain in these parts. But the Arizona monsoon looks to be over, the lambent light and delicious dryness have returned, and autumn's in the air. Life is good, for some of us leastways, and pro tempore.
Until he hung hanged himself, that is. Williams, that is.
I knew who Williams was, though I have seen only two of his films, The Dead Poets' Society and Mrs. Doubtfire. From what I know of the others I have no desire to see them. The gushing over celebrities at their passing is as tolerable as it is predictable. One only wishes that people had better judgment about who is really worthy of the highest accolades and encomia.
Here is the memorable carpe diem scene from The Dead Poets' Society. I think Dalrymple would appreciate it.

Regular reader, João Gabriel of Porto, Portugal, writes to thank me for my "great blog" and to recommend Lars Svendsen's A Philosophy of Boredom.
A lot happened that fabulous and far-off summer of '69, now 45 years past. I won't bore you with any autobiographical tidbits, and of course some of you remember the moon landing; but that was also the summer when Ted Kennedy's car killed Mary Jo Kopechne.
His car killed more people than any of my guns.

But these days, it seems, no one wants to be a dog racist—and this is where things start to get really weird. "The opposition to pit bulls might not be racist," Junod writes in his Esquire piece. "It does, however, employ racial thinking." Jeez, Louise. I suppose, then, it is time that I confess: I am a pug supremacist. Go ahead and judge me, America. Say what you will, but the worst thing a pug can do is fart you to death.

Hilary Putnam took up blogging on 29 May of this year. Well, better late than never. He has entitled his weblog Sardonic Comment. He might also have considered It Ain't Obvious What's Obvious, which is a line he uses somewhere.
In 1976, when I delivered the John Locke Lectures at Oxford, I often spent time with Peter Strawson, and one day at lunch he made a remark I have never been able to forget. He said, "Surely half the pleasure of life is sardonic comment on the passing show". This blog is devoted to comments, not all of them sardonic, on the passing philosophical show.
Here: "THE YOUNG man accused of stabbing Esa Saarinen, a professor of applied philosophy at Aalto University, has revealed that his objective was to whip up media attention."
Keith Burgess-Jackson is one frugal dude:
I've had only three vehicles in the past 31 years: (1) a 1976 Oldsmobile Cutlass, purchased from my brother Glenn in May 1983; (2) a 1989 Pontiac Grand Am, purchased new in August 1989; and (3) a 2007 Honda Accord, purchased new in February 2007. How many vehicles have you had in the past 31 years?
In one sense old Keith has me beat. I've owned four cars during this time period: (1) a 1978 VW bus purchased used in spring '79; (2) a 1988 Jeep Cherokee bought new at Thanksgiving 1987; (3) a low-mileage, immaculate, 2005 Jeep Liberty Renegade 'stolen' used for a paltry $12 K on St. Valentine's Day, 2009; (4) a 2013 Jeep Wrangler Sport purchased new at Thanksgiving 2012.
So I've owned four vehicles during the period when Keith owned three.
But there is a sense in which I have him beat: I owned the Cherokee for over 21 years, whereas the longest he has owned a vehicle appears to be less than eight years.
The old Cherokee is celebrated in the first article below.
In my whole life I have owned only four cars, the ones mentioned and a 1963 Karmann Ghia convertible purchased for $650 from my half-brother in 1969. The license plate read: GOE 069. I kid you not. I sold it in 1973 when I headed east for grad school. I should have kept it. Just like I should never have sold that Gibson ES 335 TD. That was the dumbest thing I ever did.
Image credit. (HT: Bill Keezer) By the way, I am grateful to all my correspondents. Don't take it amiss if I forget to credit you by name. And of course some of you I do not mention by name for your own protection.
If you send me something, but don't want it posted, just say so and I will honor your request. Otherwise, everything you send me is potential blog fodder.
In these "times that try mens' souls" one has to be very careful. But there is also such a thing as civil courage.
Long-time friend of and commenter at MavPhil sends me the very good news that he is on board at NRO. Congratulations, Spencer! We definitely need more philosophically-trained journalists, and given the corruption and ever-worsening decline of the academic world 'thanks' to leftists, young philosophers like Case do well to consider alternative careers in which they can write and think and preserve their liberty far from the hothouses of political correctness.
Spencer's debut article is Polemics and Philosophy from a British Contrarian, a review of two new books by Roger Scruton, the novel Notes from Underground, and the philosophical work, The Soul of the World. Case's description of the novel make me want to read it, especially given my visit to Prague last September:
Notes from Underground is mainly set in 1985 in Communist-occupied Prague. Earlier in his career, Scruton covertly visited Prague behind the Iron Curtain, traveling as a lecturer, so the harsh descriptions have an authentic ring to them. Such descriptions allow Scruton to argue against leftist collectivism merely by describing its effects. Sometimes the storyline is coupled with searing polemics, which are most effective when they catch the reader off-guard. For instance, his protagonist observes, "Defenestration is a Czech tradition, the only one that the Communists had retained." The story is told in the first person by Jan Reichl, a Czech academic in the United States, who recounts his youth under Communism. Once valued for his past as a dissident writer, he now finds his worth diminishing in the eyes of the academy. Jan writes about his experiences from a meditative distance, full of references to the literature of Kafka, Dostoyevsky, and Zweig, as well as to the music of Schubert and Mahler. The book's title itself is a reference to Dostoyevsky, whose novella Notes from the Underground is considered one of the first works of existentialist literature. The narrator's distance from events reduces the emotional immediacy of some scenes, but it also gives the whole story a thoughtful melancholy.

Spencer has some meaty things to say in criticism of Scruton, so I suggest you all head over to the former's ComBox to register your approbation, disapprobation, congratulations, whatever. My guess is that he will be evaluated by the NRO editors in part by the length and quality of the comment threads he generates.
John Kaag in Harper's tells a fascinating story of William Ernest Hocking and his library, and he tells it well. (HT: Seldom Seen Slim) No bibliophile could fail to enjoy it.
And this raises one of life's greatest mysteries. Why do some of us value good books above bread while others of us are indifferent to them? A harsh answer tempts me: the latter are human only in a biological sense. But I warn myself not to succumb to misanthropy.
Here is John Kaag's PhilPapers page.
I have wrtten at least two Hocking entries.
Hocking on the Anarchist and the Criminal
Hocking on the Value of the Individual
. . . is 'One Man's Terrorist is Another Man's Freedom Fighter.' And that is probably because Conor Friedersdorf of The Atlantic cited it. So I tell myself that I am having some influence, and doing some good. But even if I had no influence on anyone, the life of the mind would remain for me an end in itself and its own reward.
When I was a teenager I fantasized dying and being buried with my guitars. A fantasy puerile and absurd, as it seems to me now. For some, however, adolescence is a life-long condition:
I tend to take a dim view of tattoos, seeing them as the graffiti of the human body, and as yet another, perhaps minor, ingredient in the Decline of the West. Christians believe that the body is the temple of the Holy Spirit; they ought to consider whether tattoos deface the temple. But I do not dogmatize on this topic. You can reasonably attack my graffiti analogy, and if you insist that tattoos are beautiful, not ugly, I won't be able to refute you. If you argue that there is no, or needn't be, a connection between tattoos and cultural decline, you may have a case. You might even be able reasonably to maintain that the bodily temple is beautified by judicious inking. Leviticus 19:28, see article below, cuts no ice with me.
I only advise caution: permanent or semi-permanent modifications of the mortal coil are to be made only after due deliberation. You might want to consider such things as: the signal you're sending, your future employability, and, for the distaff contingent, how ugly that tattoo will look on your calf when you are 45 as opposed to 20 and the ink is cheek-by-jowl with varicose veins and cellulite. Cute baristas in hip huggers with tattoos on their lower backs invite impertinent questions as to how far down the patterns extend. If you are thinking of a career in public relations, a bone through the nose is definitely out, as are facial hardware and a Charley Manson-style swastika tattooed onto the forehead.
See here for a harsher view.
So while I am pleased that one of my readers was sufficiently impressed with one of my sayings to tattoo it onto his forearm, my pleasure is alloyed by my slight aversion to tattoos. In the second shot below, the same person sports the Logical Square of Opposition on his leg. Perhaps he should follow it up with E. J. Lowe's Ontological Square of Opposition on the other leg.
On 11 June 2011, I wrote:
Banned on the Left Coast in the People's Republic of Californication! It figures. It's sad to see what has become of my native state. But I am fortunate to flourish in Arizona where bright sun and hard rock and self-reliant liberty-lovers have a suppressive effect on the miasma of leftists. So with a firm resolve to stick it to the nanny-staters I headed out this afternoon in my Jeep Liberty to Costco where not a single incandescent was to be had. So I went to Lowe's and cleaned 'em out. I bought four 24-packs. Three packs were Sylvania 60W 130V A19's @ $10.03 per pack and one pack was Sylvania 100W 130V A19's @12.02 per pack. Total: $42.11 for 96 bulbs. That comes to less than 44 cents per bulb.
The 130 volt rating means that I will get plenty of life out of these bulbs at the expense of a negligible reduction in illumination. A voltage check at a wall socket revealed that I'm running just a tad below 120 V.
And now I am reminded of what were supposed to have been Goethe's last words: Licht, Licht, mehr Licht! Light, light, more light!
Today I went to Home Despot Depot to bag the last of their stock. I bought 24 4-packs of Phillips 60W A19 1000 hour soft white bulbs @ $1.47 per 4-pack. So I paid $35.28 for 96 bulbs. That comes to less than 37 cents per bulb. Nice warm cheap light.
I reckon I'll burn out before they all do.
So that's my politically incorrect act for the day. Or at least one of them.
If you are a high school or college student, these Challenge of Liberty summer seminars should provide an antidote to the leftist indoctrination you may be receiving.
To make it right is a royal PITA. First I make a killer sauce from scratch, a Bolognese or something pork-based. That's plenty of work right there. Then I cut an eggplant lengthwise, run the slices through egg wash, bread 'em and fry 'em in olive oil. Extra virgin, of course. Why monkey with anything else? Then I make a casserole with the cooked eggplant slices, intercalating plenty of sauce and mozarella and other cheeses between the slices. Then into the oven, covered, at 350 for 35-40 minutes until bubbly hot.
To make the one-pan quick version, crosscut the eggplant (so that it fits better in a large skillet) and fry with olive oil at moderate-high to high heat. Eggplant sucks up oil something fierce, so keep adding the stuff. Don't worry, it's a good fat. After all the pieces are cooked to the point of tenderness, set them aside to 'rest.' Now, in the same pan, add more oil and saute a blend of chopped onion, garlic, green peppers, and sliced mushrooms. When that mixture is tender, layer on the eggplant slices with mozarella and a store-bought sauce. There is no need to grate the mozarella, just slice it with a sharp knife. It melts readily. Dump in the usual spices: fresh-ground pepper, oregano, basil. Cover, and let simmer at low heat until you have a nice molten mess of vegetarian chow:
Serve with pasta, but you must absolutely avoid the Seven Deadly Sins of Pasta. Otherwise, I kill you. I prefer capellini, but it's all good. The true aficionado avoids oversaucing his pasta, and he doesn't mix pasta and sauce together a priori as it were. Do that, and I kick you, a posteriori. A trencherman true throws some sauce on top of the pasta and adds a little more or a lot more extra virgin olive oil. Freshly grate some Romano or Parmesan cheese on top of that. No crap out of a cardboard cylinder. Then add a green garnish to set it off such as Italian or American parsley, or, as I did last night, cilantro for a Southwestern accent. Fresh from the garden. Yes, you can actually grow stuff in Arizona in late December, which is another reason why Arizona is a terminus ad quem of Continental migration as oppose to a terminus a quo such as Minnesota. Some places are for leavin' as some are for arrivin.' You should get something that looks like this. Serve on a big white plate. Enjoy with a glass of Dago red. Not as good as the real thing, but good enough, especially on the second day, reheated.
Ed Farrell sent me the above. Check out his fine photography here.
When I was eight years old or so and first took note of the phrase 'Merry Xmas,' my piety was offended by what I took to be the removal of 'Christ' from 'Christmas' only to be replaced by the universally recognized symbol for an unknown quantity, 'X.' But it wasn't long before I realized that the 'X' was merely a font-challenged typesetter's attempt at rendering the Greek Chi, an ancient abbreviation for 'Christ.' There is therefore nothing at all offensive in the expression 'Xmas.' Year after year, however, certain ignorant Christians who are old enough to know better make the mistake that I made when I was eight and corrected when I was ten.
And there are some dumb atheists who think 'Merry Xmas' is an insult. These punks need to wise up on this point as on many others.
It just now occurs to me that 'Xmas' may be susceptible of a quasi-Tillichian reading. Paul Tillich is famous for his benighted definition of 'God' as 'whatever is one's ultimate concern.' Well, take the 'X' in 'Xmas' as a variable the values of which are whatever one wants to celebrate at this time of year. So for some, 'Xmas' will amount to Solsticemas, for burglars Swagmas, for materialists Lootmas, for gluttons Foodmas, for inebriates Hoochmas, and for ACLU extremists Antichristianitymas.
A reader suggests some further constructions:
For those who love the capitol of the Czech Republic: Pragmas. For Dutch Reformed theologians of Frisian extraction who think Christmas is silly: Hoekemas. For Dutch Reformed philosophy professors of Frisian extraction who like preserves on their toast: Jellemas. For fans of older British sci-fi flicks: Quatermas. For those who buy every special seasonal periodical they can get their hands on: Magmas. One could probably multiply such examples ad nauseum, so I won't.
How could an ACLU bonehead object to 'Xmas' so construed? No doubt he would find a way.
A while back I quipped that "Aporeticians qua aporeticians do not celebrate Christmas. They celebrate Enigmas." My man Hodges shot back: "But they do celebrate 'X-mas'! (Or maybe they 'cerebrate' it?)"
Merry Chimas to all, and to all a good night.
One morning recently I was talking with a thirtysomething woman about Obamacare. "If you like your period, you can keep your period" came out of my mouth. I was intending, "If you like your plan, you can keep your plan, period."
Thanks to Obama, the period is one punctuation mark that will never be the same. From now on, no one will be able to say 'period' without conjuring up the great man, just as words like 'inhale' and 'is' conjure up the first black president, Bill Clinton, along with images of chubby star-struck interns. "But I didn't inhale." I suppose it all depends on the meaning of 'inhale.'
Presidents need to realize that there is such a thing as videotape and that lies are easily exposed. In this clip, Bubba say that he tried marijuana a time or two, didn't like it, didn't inhale, and never tried it again. But obviously, there is no way to tell if you like it without inhaling it, and quite a bit of it, over several sessions. The man was obviously lying, and he must have known that we knew he was lying.
I tried it, and from '68-'72 smoked my fair share of it, inhaling deeply as one must to get any effect, but I did not like it. I'm an intense guy whose life is already plenty intense. My reaction was similar to Lenny Bruce's: "I've got enough shit flying through my head without smoking weed." (Quoted from memory from How to Talk Dirty and Influence People which I read around '66. My copy is long gone, my mother having confiscated it and thrown it away.)
Having just checked the quotation, I was pretty close. What Bruce actually said was this:
"I don't smoke pot, and I'm glad because then I can champion it without any special pleading. The reason I don't smoke pot is because it facilitates ideas and heightens sensations. And I got enough shit flying through my head without smoking pot."
I just wasted 30 minutes on the phone with a customer service representative straightening out a screw-up emanating from their end. The automated intro said that a "helpful customer care" rep would be available in one minutes (sic)." Don't tell me how helpful and caring you are. Just do your job and do it right.
This change from 'service' to 'care' is squishy, bien-pensant liberal feel-good bullshit and quite in keeping wth the Age of Feeling, the Age of Obama Yomama. It's humbug I tell you, humbug!
Merry Christmas.
How often do Thanksgiving and Hanukkah (or the first day of Hanukkah) fall on the same day? Wikipedia to the rescue.
All three exited the mundus sensibilis 50 years ago, today. Whither? The Whither like the Whence remain in suspense.
The three illustrate the truth that "The pen is mightier than the sword" (Bulwer-Lytton).

On Halloween I take to class a medical-school skull with a removable skull cap. Inside are various gloomy or semi-gloomy thoughts on slips of paper. Each student takes one, and next time we meet students read them aloud one by one, and when they're done we discuss them. Anyway, I was preparing the skull this morning and thought you might enjoy Melville's thought.
10. October, sadly, ends once again. How fast she flies. But here in the Sonoran desert she is the harbinger of the loveliest time of the year. Happy Halloween, everyone.

Because of comments like these, though they are surely not the worst one can find. (I cite them only because my Referral List pointed me to the post to which they are appended.) But they are characteristic. In my experience, to discuss religion with the irreligious and the anti-religious is a sheer waste of time. You may as well discuss logic with the illogical, music with the unmusical, or poetry with the terminally prosaic.
I am regularly surprised by how much garbage Victor Reppert tolerates in his ComBox. He will even allow people to insult him in vile ways. It may be that he is a model of Christian detachment, slow to anger, quick to forgive, tolerant to a fault. It may also be that he doesn't appreciate that to tolerate bad behavior is to invite more of the same. A conservative, I take a harsher line, one more in keeping with the realities of human nature, realities liberals tend to ignore. Conservatism as I espouse and practice it subsumes the classically liberal commitment to toleration. But toleration has limits. In any case, a weblog is private property where no one has free speech rights.
A man's home is his castle, and his blog his cybercastle. Just as I do not tolerate bad behavior in the first, I do not tolerate it in the second. But bloggers are free to run their blogs any way they see fit.
You might think that disallowing comments limits my traffic. Not so. Traffic is better than ever, recently up around 2000 pageviews per diem. Readers I respect tell me that they like my Comments Policy.
To end aphoristically:
The best arguments against an open combox are the contents of one.
Roger Kimball, Racism, Inc.
Victor Davis Hanson, The Decline of College; The Late, Great Middle Class
Leon Wieseltier, Crimes Against Humanities
Edward Feser, Man is Wolff to Man. I was going to write this post, but Ed beat me to it. Ed beats down the superannuated Wolff for boarding the bandwagon of benighted bashers of Nagel. These lefties just can't stand Nagel even though he is a naturalist, an atheist, and a liberal. Why? Because he is not an extremist like they are. Because he could conceivably be interpreted by someone as giving aid and comfort to the enemy: the theists. For not toeing the party line. For thinking for himself. For being the Real Thing and not a leftist ideologue. It is sad to see professional philosophy ideologized like this.
Kirsten Powers, A Global Slaughter of Christians. The 'religion of peace' is at it again. But the PC-whipped churches stay silent.
By the way, I admire the hell out of Kirsten Powers, even though she's a Dem (why Lord, why?): she has beauty, brains, and (the female equivalent of) balls. And she puts up goodnaturedly with the sometimes obnoxious Bill O'Reilly. But I admire the hell out of him as well. That leftists despise a moderate such as him shows what contemptible extremists they are.
I had the pleasure of meeting Trent Dougherty at the Prague conference on Analytic Theology. He informed me that he is an executive editor of a new on-line publication, The Journal of Analytic Theology.
The Journal of Analytic Theology is an open access, international journal that twice anually publishes articles, book reviews, and book symposia that explore theological and meta-theological topics in a manner that prizes terminological clarity and argumentative rigor. This includes historical studies that seek to elucidate conceptual challenges or explore strategies for addressing them.
Trent also had a limerick for me that I don't think he'll mind if I share:
I follow this really cool blog,And I just met the author in Prague.They call him a "Maverick,"and act quite barbaric:He leaves them indeed quite agog.
I am astonished at my poor ability to spot typographical errors despite my assiduous exercise of what is pleonastically referred to as 'due diligence.' I see what I bloody well want to see. I read the following a good dozen times and failed to see the mistake:
Astinence is no mark of a rounder
which I just now corrected to
Abstinence is no mark of a rounder
which is my response to Jeff Hodges'
Absinthe makes the heart go founder.
You've heard of Robert Zimmerman, better known as Bob Dylan, and the 'white-Hispanic' George Zimmerman whose nomen has proven to be one bad omen indeed. (Would we have heard about him at all had his name been Jorge Ramirez?)
Permit me to introduce you to Jára Cimrman whose Czech surname, if I am not badly mistaken, is pronounced like 'Zimmerman' when the latter is pronounced as it is in German.
Cimrman is quite a character with many noteworthy accomplishments to his credit. One of them is authorship of the philosophy of non-existentialism. As one reputable source has it:
Long before anyone had heard about Camus or Sartre, in 1886, Cimrman wrote pieces like 'The Essence of the Existence', which became the basis for his "Cimrmanism" philosophy, also referred to as "non-existentialism" (the main premise of this philosophy is that: "Existence cannot not exist").
But if truth be told, this Cimrman is a plagiarist. He stole the idea from me! In Does Existence Itself Exist? I defend the thesis that existence does indeed exist, and necessarily. The despicable Cimrman passed off my idea as his own and tried to hide his crime by packaging my thesis under the verbally different but logically equivalent 'Existence cannot not exist' He then falsely claimed to have developed his theory in 1886 long before my birth.
Loosely translated: No pain, no gain. Der Fleiß (Fleiss) is German for diligence. Thus 'Heidi Fleiss' is a near aptronym, diligent as she was in converting concupiscence into currency.
Another interesting German word is Sitzfleisch. It too is close in meaning to diligence, staying power. Fleisch is meat and Sitz, seat, is from the verb sitzen, to sit. One who has Sitzfleisch, then, has sitting meat. Think of a scholarly grind who sits for long hours poring over tome after tome of arcana.
And that reminds me of a story. Max Scheler and Nicolai Hartmann were German philosophers of high repute, though Scheler was more the genius and Hartmann more the grind. As the story goes, Scheler once disparaged Hartmann thusly, "My genius and your Sitzfleisch would make a great philosopher!"
Getting back to Heidi Fleiss, she is in the news again. This time her diligence has taken a turn toward the cultivation of the noble weed, some 400 plants worth, without a license. But the long arm of the law has 'smoked' her out.
No vice, no Fleiss. From madam to mary jane.

During the busy Family Weekend at Virginia Tech, our large group of students, parents, and friends wanted to have a nice dinner out. After being flat out refused at Sal's, I called Zeppoli's to ask if they would take a reservation. Although not a large restaurant, Doris happily accommodated our group of 14. Our waiter was superb, getting all orders correct, and bringing each course at the appropriate time. He even happily took a group photo after our delicious meal. Whether it was seafood or pasta, everything was lovely. We also enjoyed shopping for some wine to accompany our dinner in their little wine room. We will go back to Zeppoli's not only for their delicious food, but for being so welcoming to our large group on a busy VT weekend !

PROVIDENCE – All Charles Correa kept thinking about was the next shot – even on a night in which his touch was off.
PROVIDENCE – There were not too many onlookers that figured Monday night's Division III semifinal contest would be a close affair. The late game pitted top-ranked Middletown, a team with just one loss on its record, versus No. 5 seed Davies Tech, a .500 ballclub. Add the fact that the Islanders defeated the Patriots by 26 points in their last meeting on Feb. 24. A blowout certainly seemed inevitable, but head coach Gerry Suggs and his gutsy squad never let it happen.
WOONSOCKET --- Cumberland High and the Division II semifinals have gone hand-in-hand for the better part of last decade, and that trend's going to continue this weekend. Michael Kinch's multiple-goal night and goalie Michaelangelo Federici's 33-save effort were the keys to success for the Clippers on Monday night in their 4-2 victory over Pilgrim High in the third and deciding game of their best-of-three quarterfinal-round series at Adelard Arena.
An open letter to Providence College President Rev. Brian J. Shanley and Athletic Director Bob Driscoll:
When the search for the next men's basketball coach commences, do not make the same mistake you did the last time. Many people were leery when Keno Davis was given the keys to the school's primary means of visibility and exposure. Not just because Davis had all of one year of coaching experience under his belt, but also for the simple reason that he was far from the top choice to replace Tim Welsh.
PAWTUCKET — During the final stretch of the inaugural Irish 5K on Saturday morning, Brendan "Buzz" Doyle watched as two runners passed him the last few yards. That was something that may have bothered him when he was a standout runner at St. Raphael Academy, located up the street from the Pawtucket race. It certainly wouldn't have sat well when he continued to excel with his running career at Iona College and later on the local road-racing circuit. Not this time, however.
PROVIDENCE — Tom "Saar" Sorrentine admits that it was by design that he honed in on West Warwick. After all, St. Raphael Academy had already played Coventry twice, which presented more than enough of a sample for the coach to devise an adequate game plan should his Saints cross paths with the Knotty Oakers for a third time.
PAWTUCKET — When Diana Davis ran up the steep incline during the first mile of the inaugural Irish 5K in Pawtucket, she didn't just see the top males in the field. Davis, a third-year PhD student at Brown University, also saw some green. "I want to go to Ireland," she said. The 25-year-old runner took the first step to making that trip to the Emerald Isle a reality Saturday morning when she was the first woman to cross the line in front of City Hall, placing ninth overall among the 849 finishers with a time of 18 minutes, 25.1 seconds.
CRANSTON --- Cranston East had the numbers, the size, and fewer mistakes than Tolman on Friday night, and that helped the 'Bolts seize the first game of their best-of-three Division III quarterfinal-round series with the Tigers. Cranston East scored twice in a 13-second span in the second period to claim a 3-0 command and held off a late Tolman comeback to secure a 5-2 triumph at the Cranston Vets Arena.
PROVIDENCE – For a team that had not won a game in exactly three weeks, or captured a playoff contest of any kind in three years, Friday night seemed as good a time as any for the St. Raphael Academy hoopsters to exercise some demons.
PAWTUCKET — Davies Tech baffled Shea High with its matchup zone defense on Wednesday evening en route to a 32-25 victory over the Raiders in a Division III quarterfinal-round playoff contest. The Patriots trailed 16-10 at halftime, then went on a 15-2 run to take a 25-18 lead with 3:58 left in the game. Shea's only two points during the first 12 minutes of the second half came on free throws.

War Pig (Revision 43)
That's the IQ of a trooper.
I hope they can't hear that.
Don't worry Mason. We're all grunts in the Cav. Didn't you join the army voluntarily?
I rest my case.
-Chickenhawk (1983)
You start off by the tank that was disabled in the mission "The Bog". You now continue down the street and fight off the entire U.A.E. army by yourself. There are two secrets placed close to one another after the allied tank rolls over the passenger car. If you are worried about it, check the secret tab, otherwise, bother this nonsense and proceed to eradicate both sides of the street of enemy militia.
Since there is intense house to house fighting, you will need to pace yourself and take out enemy RPG snipers and the like before they nuke your tank or you. Clean out the houses and notice checkpoints appear as each house is taken over.
Laptop 12 and 13 of 30
After the tank crushes the car and stops so RPG soldiers can nuke it, there is a right turn at the end of the street. Investigate the second floor of the house on the corner (right side) for one laptop and the second floor of the house on the corner (left side) for the second laptop. Since enemies come from these buildings, you have little choice but to go through these two buildings and clean the nests out.
Once you get to the bus roadblock, you're halfway through with the stage. Head into the alley (your allies will group at the entrance first) and try to blast or start each car on fire before the enemy machinegun nest can do it and kill you.
Your allies will push a dumpster forward to give you some more cover, but the actual rush needs to be done by you. Head into the building and don't miss the secret.
Laptop 14 of 30
A building with some machinegun nests will be guarding an alley-ful of cars. Investigate the second story of that building for the intel.
Once you push through, avoid the enemy T-72 and wait for your allied tank to blast it. Once done, drop to the street and exfiltrate.

Sign UpAre you ever over whelmed with unfinished business? Frustration turns to anxiety. Anxiety turns to avoidance. Avoidance turns to escape. Escape turns to isolation and isolation leads to misery. What a downer! More than the misery downer is the loss of remembrance of the original dilemma. Where can we start again?
A healthy person is decisive. Let's look at the parable of the Good Samaritan once again. Specifically, let's look at the Samaritan's actions in Luke 10: 33-35: "When he saw the man's condition his heart went out to him. He gave him first aid, disinfecting and bandaging his wounds. Then he lifted him on to his donkey, led him to an inn, and made him comfortable. In the morning he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper saying, "Take good care of him. If it costs any more put it on my bill – I'll pay you on my way back". (The Message) Wow! He made one decision after another. He could have looked at the situation and felt pressed by his own business, moved on, and taken on the sense of guilt that comes with recognizing a true need and making no decision about it. I call that the ' would a, could a, should a' syndrome. A sense of guilt can only be relieved by taking action that follows through where the avoidance began, the moment of unwillingness to make a decision. The Samaritan made one decision after another until he finished what he had started. That's very healthy thinking followed by disciplined action. Read more →

PDP - Analytical Methods
PDP has an important role in the implementation of the 1996 Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA). This law directs the Secretary of Agriculture to collect pesticide residue data on commodities most frequently consumed by infants and children. PDP is the primary source of residue data used by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to assess dietary exposure during the review of the safety of existing pesticide tolerances (maximum residue limits).
PDP has analyzed over 100 commodities including fresh and processed fruit and vegetables, meats (beef and pork), poultry, fish, milk and dairy products, infant formula, grains and grain products, and drinking water (surface, ground, and bottled). A complete list of the commodities can be found on the Testing History page. Methods of analysis used by PDP laboratories for the analysis of fresh and processed fruit and vegetables, meat, and dairy products are presented in the link below in the form of brief abstract and literature reference where applicable. PDP methods for grains/grain products and water are available on request. Although different methods of analysis can be used to analyze the same commodity, each method has been demonstrated to produce robust data through extensive method validation and ongoing quality assurance/quality control and proficiency testing procedures. PDP residue methods have been proposed for endorsement by the Codex Alimentarius Commission. The combined abstracts document is in the Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF). Download the free

The Moonstone
The Moonstone Second Period, Narrative 1, Chapter 6 Summary
- The chapter opens with a series of short and snippy notes back and forth between Miss Clack and Franklin Blake.
- Apparently, Miss Clack wanted to include a series of passages about Death and Hellfire to her narrative, to follow up on the death of Lady Verinder, but Franklin Blake had decided that it was hardly necessary, since the point of the narrative was to describe the events surrounding the disappearance of the Moonstone.
- Miss Clack is displeased.

What's Behind a Power Lawyer's Obsession With Waitstaff
Attorney Robert Darwell, who landed on THR's 2014 Power Lawyers list, explains why he keeps snapping photos of waiters and waitresses.
This story first appeared in the June 13 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine.
Hollywood insiders are trying to figure out why THR 2014 Power Lawyer Robert Darwell keeps snapping photos of waiters and waitresses. Look no further than @TheDailyServer, his Instagram feed. It profiles waitstaff on his travels, most recently to Cannes, and the Sheppard Mullin partner posts photos of his server only. There has been one major snafu -- one of Darwell's clients (he won't say who) temporarily lost their Soho House membership over a bartender pic Darwell respectfully deleted.
PHOTOS: Power Lawyers 2014 -- Top Entertainment Attorneys Gather for THR Breakfast
Its 2,200 followers include Focus Features' Howard Meyers and CAA agent Dan Steinman. Why servers? Darwell worked at TGI Fridays in college and says it helped him develop as a lawyer: "My client service is the same today; nobody wants to hear you blame the kitchen."
