Casualties of the Economic Crisis

without comments

There is no end to the suffering:

  1. “Ultimately, their Tiffany china went to the country house, as did the dining room table for 12, a large kitchen cabinet and much of their cooking gear.” (NY Times)
  2. “The chauffeur-driven BMW had to be exchanged for a Toyota Avensis”. (Berlingske Tidende)

The horror! The horror!

Disjointed Easter Notes

without comments

  1. Unfogged explains what Easter is all about.
  2. Adam Kotsko has reservations about The Lives of Others. (Additional note: In the world of real existing socialism, Wiesler would have been shot).
  3. Andrew Gelman has a problem with the word “ontology“.
  4. My Old Mother’s choux pastry isn’t too shady.
