      The Fiction of Memory
      “It is as difficult to appropriate the thoughts of others as it is to invent http://nyti.ms/apHBWL” 
      Luc Sante is pretentious about another piece of pretention. I object to modern French philosophy from the source. At third hand it is unbearable. The Novel is unabashedly an entertainment. As such it must satisfy the readers desires in some way or it will fuel the stove unfinished.  An essay has pretensions of informing its reader. If it fails, it merely bores its reader.  If other parts of the larger work do not redeem that larger work it too will feed the stove.  Failed ework is merely deleted but marks the readers memory with prejudice against further purchases. Repute is earned.  I do not value cognitive dissonance.

      Scientists Find Giant Plumes of Oil Forming Under the Gulf
      “Drillled baby, drilled! New evidence suggests the Gulf oil spill is leaking 25,000 - 80,000 barrels of oil EACH DAY. http://nyti.ms/cCixU5” 
      It is below the thermocline.  The water there seems to have been there for about 25,000 years.  It may not matter that it now has quite a bit of oil in it.  I wish we had not tried the experiment but it is a bit late to not have done it.  Are there the resources to clean it up is a real question.  It will keep lawyers and courts busy for the foreseeable future. BP is still an ex-company.

      Digital Diplomacy
      “Digital Diplomacy - http://nyti.ms/a73fWa Check out this piece on my friend Jarred Cohen he's a great to follow if you like politics.” 
      It is far better than sending the Marines. It is still not the way my mind works.
      State will find that it must split.  I suspect that there is a place for secret diplomacy as long as there are insular governments.  This gang lives on line.  They are welcome to the goldfish bowl.  I will continue out here in the woods and reefs, at least for now.
      People keep telling me that understanding is worth money.  I like that idea.  money is very nice.

    The Facebook Searchers
    “The Social Network” is spot on with its parsing of who wins and loses in our information economy and hypercompetitive meritocracy.
    David Brooks is still in search of aristocracy.  It is and always was fiction.

    U.S. Lost 95,000 Jobs in September, Far More Than Expected
    The unemployment rate stayed flat at 9.6 percent in September, but the drop in employment was far worse than expected.

    The business pages are wilfully blind.  As has been pointed out since 2006 it is not a liquidity problem, it is a solvency problem.  
    90% of the American public does not have the income to service its debts.
    We are bankrupt as individuals.   

    I would like to fact check that.
    What recovery?
