Instead of Celebrating May Day Today…

…consider attending a debate on the question "Is Capitalism Moral?" tomorrow 6pm at NYU: Objectivist John Allison vs. liberal Washington Post writer Ezra Klein.
I'm going but for the rest of May largely laying off the politics and the sci-fi/comics nerd stuff -- not to mention Twitter and Facebook -- in favor of, yes, just posting links to goofy animal videos on this blog (though I'll still see Thor and host Manhattans Project at Langan's on the 16th).  That should free up some much-needed time for matters both professional and personal.  But they'll be really good animal videos and will segue neatly back into matters more philosophical in June, so KEEP READING THIS BLOG DAILY throughout my "Month of Animals."
The most liberating political news of the past few days, though, may be Mitch Daniels pushing through a big school choice plan in Indiana (we may be hearing a great deal more about him soon).  Another step forward.

OK, turns out it's all right to celebrate after all.

At first I heard Kathy Griffin was dead. I thought, that IS good news. But this is good too.

(And, seriously, there's been no news of Kathy Griffin dying, just in case that panicked anyone.)
