Sep. 8th, 2010 09:24 amDear Enlightenment & Critics prof: during a discussion of how the Enlightenment was a reaction to the wacky religiosity of the time (to paraphrase), it may not be precisely appropriate to add: "And for those of you looking for an Enlightenment-type service, [this church] at [these cross streets] at [this time] on Sunday mornings does a great sermon."
I can't describe why that makes me so irrationally irritated, but it does.

> On Monday, ABC News was shocked - shocked! - too discover what most of us already know: that 1/4 women on a college campus will be raped. Watch the segment with care - it's a fail on multiple levels. More thinky thoughts when I don't need to scamper off to class.
> Fareed Zakariah reports that America overreacted on 9/11. Ya think? Contrary to the article's title, though, he doesn't really explore why. Try Susan Faludi's The Terror Dream on for size. Relatedly, Time asks the tough questions.
> Quite literally the day after a discussion with a friend on how mainstream media was going to go to town on Muslims worldwide for daring to celebrate eid al-fitr on 9/11, The Washington Post reports that Muslims nationwide are toning down their celebrations. Fuck you, world. Fuck you.
> For a laugh.
