1. the Jared Diamond thingy |
|
is especially cool
I have seen it twice already
I have his book on order too , and if it is half as good as his earlier work it will be well worth the reading

2. I saw this Saturday night... |
|
...well, at least most of it. It was really interesting, but then the Ward Churchill thing from Tuesday came on regular C-Span, which I hadn't seen yet, so I had to turn it. Wish I could've caught the whole thing.
I haven't read any Jared Diamond books yet, but I've heard so much about him that's about time I did.
