I read Cloud Atlas about 5 or 6 books ago and can't stop thinking about it. I practically forced it on my colleague; I couldn't stop yammering on about it. He finished it recently, so now we're both yammering on about it. He's rereading it now, and though I'm enjoying my current book, I'm a little jealous. It's an astonishing book. We don't quite want to let it go.

Re: Bush Campaign Manager and Former RNC Chair, Ken Mehlman: I'm Gay - Politics - The Atlantic

"He said that he 'really wished' he had come to terms with his sexual orientation earlier, 'so I could have worked against [the Federal Marriage Amendment]' and 'reached out to the gay community in the way I reached out to African Americans.'"

Mehlman is still dissembling or disingenuous. Why does he need to come to terms w/ his sexuality to work against the FMA or reach out to the gay community? Does one have to be an out gay person to have principles? He isn't African American (presumably) yet he "reached out" to that community. Pardon me if I reach out to punch him in the teeth.

That said, I wish Mehlman the best in his personal life. I hope he will be happier living his life honestly and openly. In his professional life, however, I can't but help wish him many days of difficult reflection about his own cowardice and complicity during a period of heightened insanity in this country. Many, many people were deeply hurt--materially hurt--by the vile machinations of people whose power he protected and ensured. His silence had very real consequences, and I hope he will forgive those of us who look askance at his attempts to justify his past silence. It is inadequate indeed.

Highly recommend The Regulator Bookshop in Durham, NC. Fantastic store, much loved, locally owned and independent since 1976.

God, that is wonderful. I'm very happy for you! I'm lucky to be in a similar relationship. Don't know what I'd do w/o it. Here's to a limitless future for you both!

Good lord, he is. I wonder if his producers will have anything to say about him preaching from the "news" seat. Won't hold my breath.

Ha! I meant a message from Michael, but now that you mention it, I'd love an iPhone and a chat w/ Michael, too. Why was I thinking so small? ;)

V. good question, Tim. I'd give them an 8; maybe higher if they're warm. They taste homemade--lightly cakey and not too sweet--which I think recommends them. db, OTOH, would have been just as happy with a run-of-the-mill lemon-filled from Dunkin Donuts. My doughnut palate is more flexible! ;)

H, I saw this at the Hirshhorn some years ago. This guy is huge. I think I was at about elbow-level, and he's so realistic looking that I was apprehensive about getting too close. It really felt like he might strike out at any moment. You can see wrinkles and pores and freckles and dry skin. It's unreal (because it's so real--ha!). Mueck is amazing.
