Monday Read 'ems

For some reason, I can't get up the gumption to post anything of substance lately. Thank god for co-bloggers! But here are some tasty links, fresh from the blogosphere.

Jeffrey Rice of Yellow Dog offers up a defense of academic blogging.

Dorcasina comments on white privilege and Oprah.

Twisty blames the patriarchy in Italy, and (rightly) harshes on some clueless male OB-Gyns.

The Nation interviews Joe Sacco and Art Spiegelman about those damn Dutch cartoons.

and finally, PZ Myers lays down the smack on Leon Wieseltier for his crap review of Dennett's new book. Good academic snark.
