1. Life imitates art, Kafka version.
2. Hypocrisy and the life of the Congress-critter.

Good morning.

1. This jumped out at me, “Muslim “ideology…does not believe in a woman’s right to do anything.” … Uhm, I’m pretty sure nobody’s “ideology” believes that anybody has a right to do anything regardless of ontological category (gender, class, or whatever). For that matter, nobody thinks everybody has the same rights to do the same things either. 
2. Batman and dead languages.
3. Apathy (or more technically accidie) is winning.
4. On Mr Obama’s overwhelmingly unimpressive jurist nominee.
5. More hope and change for y’all.
