In Defense of the Fractional Reserve Banking System…
10/12/2008 06:33 PM
I’ve been hearing conspiracy theories about the fractional reserve banking system. The argument is fascinating, but seems unsound to me. The idea starts with the fact that banks create money through loans. They take your $100 and are allowed to lend out something like $90 of it. This means that ther ...

4:48 Psychosis -- A Review
10/12/2008 06:29 PM
This afternoon I ran up to ISU’s Allen Theater to see 4:48 Psychosis, by the late Sarah Kane (1971-1999).

We had a good time it was just a shame Chris has a chest infection and Ade was recovering from a migraine.

10/12/2008 05:59 PM
I have stood transfixed by tapestries hanging in the Cluny in Paris, the Walters in Baltimore, and the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
