The site will be quiet until this evening. Here are some recent entries you may want to catch up on:

• Kristor’s learned discussion of the finance crisis.
  
• The long discussion about Darwinism and truth.
  
• My note about Commentary’s abandoning of the Bush-neocon position that spreading democracy in the Muslim world is the only way to combat radicalism. (To my surprise there has been no reader response to this stunning development.)
  
• My Dylan take-off, “When the Deal Breaks Down.”
  
• Reflections (here and here) on Geert Wilders’s recent appearances in New York City.
  
• A short-lived brilliant idea about the bailout.
  
• Thucydides’ explanation of how the outrageous lending practices will continue even under the bailout plan.
