Three cheers for the future of Harry Potter look-a-likes!

Needless to say, the Lego Jodi! and Lego Matt! are by far superior to the Lego Foucault and Lego Zizek!

Everyone should do this.

By far!

I thought it would be fun to make a whole Lego LS crew. (You can tell I'm on leave)...I want our whole little corner of the blogosphere (can spheres have corners) to have lego selves--everyone who comments, everybody! I've got lego mania....

'Economic Man' vs. 'Status Man' I receive updates from Tech Central Station, basically a neoliberal (and conservative) interactive web publication (not quite a blog, from what I can tell). Anyway, today's TCS has an article from Arnold King that argues that economic differences are preferable to status differences. Unlike the zero sum game of status, economic gain, King asserts (citing Adam Smith) helps others. In fact, academic life would be enhanced if it were more controlled by the market and less by status. Not surprisingly, I disagree. But, I thought the article was worth thinking about. King makes a good point regarding practices of denying accreditation to maintain hierarchy--this has been a practice of colleges and universities, as have admissison strategies designed to maintain class hierarchy by privileging the children of legacies (this is how I got into a good college, by the way, a legacy admission). So why, exactly, do I disagree with King's article? Is it because I think that the claim regarding the benefits of the free market is profoundly, demonstrably wrong (which I do)? Or, is there something else, something about academia? Moreover, is there something to be learned from King's criticisms of status-hungry academics? King writes: Link: TCS: Tech Central Station - 'Economic Man' vs. 'Status Man'. Academic life is very much oriented toward the pecking order, with an incessant focus on ranking individuals, departments, and institutions. Once professors have attained high status within the academic pecking order, they sometimes lose track of the fact that there are other areas...

Spinning Fear The Bush administration can't govern so it relies on spin. Most of us are so accustomed to the immediacy of media culture--even the most critical, the most radical, the most Marxist of us will write prodigiously about television and popular culture (even when we claim not to consume it and deride those who do)--that we watch and read and blog and whine. But, the Real kicks in. Katrina reminded everyone of that. And, miracles happen. I don't have a good example of this right now, but I'm pretty impressed by the one armed surfer chick. Anyway, as Newsweek has announced and everybody knows, the Bush administration is in a free fall. They can't govern. So, they turn to spin. And, since their Supreme Court Nominee has impressed no one, they resort to terrorism. Nominating Roberts provided a break from Katrina coverage and deflected attention a tiny bit from the utter inability of the Bush administration to do anything but manipulate the media. But, this new one, Meiers, hasn't kept the heat off Frist, Delay, and Rove. In fact, the blatant cronyism has intensified the sense of corruption. The new strategy: get everybody back to 9/11. So, there was Bush's "speech." But much worse: the alerts in the NYC subways. Call me a conspiracy theorist (I'd love for you to, I've done quite a bit of work in this area), but I think that the administration has orchestrated the anxiety in NYC by leaking word of possible attacks and then saying...
