SUBMIT FOR REVIEW American Gods: Monarch of the Glen Posted: Sunday, September 7 By: Shaun Manning Print This Item Writer: Neil Gaiman Publisher: Voyager (as part of Legends II , an anthology edited by Robert Silverberg) The Story: Neil Gaiman revisits the world of American Gods with an all-new novella! After his role in the war between old gods and new, Shadow has decided to take an extended vacation. After wandering about Scandinavia, he winds up in a Scottish village without castles or ruins, but a great environment for walks. In the hotel bar, he meets a man who speaks of monsters, and offers Shadow a lucrative job for the weekend, minding the door at an exclusive gala at an old castle on the hill. Not learning from experience, Shadow takes the job, placing him in the middle of an ancient struggle between man and monster. As the distinction between the two blurs, Shadow’s only hope for survival may rest with a mysterious woman of the land. If Shadow can defeat the forces working against him, he may be able to free long-lost gods from torment and one day return home–but what will his victory mean to his beautiful benefactor?

LU Home LU Updates Receive LU-Announce Does Character Matter? by Frederica Mathewes-Green Leadership Breakfast, University of Delaware, 1998 Frederica Mathewes-Green is a regular commentator on NPR's "All Things Considered" and on Odyssey Television Network's "News Odyssey." She is a columnist for Christianity Today and a contributing editor for and other publications. While discussing topics for this talk, this one was suggested to me: Does Character Matter? Is character an important component of leadership? Can you be a leader without attention to personal integrity, or private morality? Since that topic was raised some events have brought the question to national prominence. And the way polls read, a lot of Americans seem to think it doesn't matter. Competence is everything. Personal integrity is expendable. Now, I don't want to dwell on this particular example, but rather want to look at much larger, more serious historical examples of exercising leadership without exercising character. Rather than examining the current microcosm, look at the macrocosm to draw the issue more starkly.

23. Two Cheers For The Fox News Channel By David R. Henderson And recently, Brit Hume, in response to one of his regular liberal panelists To O’Reilly, there are good guys and bad guys in the world, the folks are http://www.lewrockwell.com/henderson/henderson8.html

Home About Columnists Blog ... Donate Two Cheers for the Fox News Channel by David R. Henderson by David R. Henderson I’m a big fan of the LewRockwell.com and Antiwar.com web sites. I give money to both every year to help keep them going because the perspective and information they bring are crucial to the United States today. The critiques of government in all its ugly facets that you’ll find on the Lew Rockwell site are valuable, whether the discussion is on economic regulation, taxing and spending, government violations of civil liberties, or war. (I don’t agree with many of the articles that propound the Austrian view of the business cycle, but that’s best left for another time.) In short, my perspective is similar to that of many people who write for both sites, the perspective of a libertarian who wants peace at home and abroad. So what follows is not the kind of uncritical encomium to the Fox News Channel that you might read from a "conservative" who likes George W. Bush’s policies. In fact, there’s a reasonable case to be made that Bush is the worst president since Harry Truman. Rather, I believe that the existence of Fox News Channel is a net plus because it has introduced ideological competition where little had existed before. And there’s another bonus here: because one of the Fox regulars, Bill O’Reilly, is over-confident in his own intellect, he sometimes has on good guests who disagree with him.

DIALOGUE HANDSHAKES To help newcomers feel at home on our virtual couch, regular participants in the dialogue may, if they wish, tell us a bit about themselves: Angry Annie I'm called 'Angry Annie' as a (hopefully) affectionate nickname in real life, because I tend to get agitated about news that most people don't much care about. I'm Korean-American, in my early 30s, and my work for a living, like millions of other Americans, is a job I don't care for but can usually stand. I believe, as this site says, that freedom comes first in any sane society and for any just government. Obviously, it follows that there are few or no just governments. I believe government is an antonym for freedom and gods are good for people who need one or more. I believe racists are inferior, intellectually and probably genetically. I believe humanity is in grave danger of extinction, if we as a species don't wake up and start demanding equal rights and considerations for all, regardless or color, creed, gender, wealth, or location, and demand either leadership or resignations from our leaders.

Host Krista Tippett: I would like to start with a general question. As a person living as a political theorist and ethicist living in 2004 what comes to mind when I ask you what you value and work with in Reinhold Niebuhr's legacy and his thought? Professor Jean Bethke Elshtain: Tippett: I want to ask you about a statement you made in one of your recent books, if not your most recent, Just War on Terror . You devoted part of a chapter to Reinhold Niebuhr. You said" No doubt Niebuhr would have cautioned us against calling 9/11 a tragedy." What do you mean by that sentence? Elshtain: Tippett: He did use the word "tragedy" in a large sense. That was an important concept for him in the grand scheme of history. So how would his understanding of tragedy provide a context for taking in these kinds of current events?

30. HUNTING FORUM and some of them are regular folks in the getting of a living. In fact,that we may the good guys, and useful to have around. Yes, America IS the http://www.kifaru.net/goodlife.htm

Hunting Home Essays The Good Life Part 1 I suppose this title is apt—it’s all-encompassing in any event—for the first essay here on the Kifaru website on the broad topic of "politics". Some of you have asked me to do this—write about the political scene one encounters today as seen through the eyes of a hunter. Perhaps I should tell you that I’m also a historian. I never did anything with that degree except live a more fulfilled life so far. And I mean that—I am grateful for having acquainted myself with the foundations of culture. (Mind you, I was educated prior to PC-ness.) I am well aware of the long course of history that has brought us to the present. And so I bring that to bear as buttress to my observations. Call me a hunter/historian. I almost titled this series "Culture Wars". I selected The Good Life for several reasons. In the broadest terms, everybody—even our political/philosophical adversaries—is seeking The Good Life. What is it? Differences about that are at the root of our political conflicts. This is NOT to say that all "opinions" are "equal" or any of that new age poly- science pabulum. Certainly I am not suggesting that our opponents’ positions are just as valid as ours. Far from it—I intend to discuss at length why and how they’ve strayed from the path that represents the good life , and why they must be either led lovingly back to it, or resisted forcefully. But I want my approach to be free to soar beyond politics and into the realm of philosophy when called for. A broader view may be needed to get at the subject. So bear with me. We may, together, find nuggets herein that will help us Culture Warriors prevail. It is the philosophy one brings to politics that ultimately matters.

31. Mouldering On The Shelves (2002) In his work, who to root for is rarely unclear, and the good guys usually win . Still, fairly dull unless you re an afficionado of american history. http://www.lunabase.org/~faber/BBC/mouldering02.html

Mouldering on the Shelves These are capsules of books I read in 2002. Comments? Mail me Mouldering on the Shelves: Skipping Toward Gomorrah , Dan Savage I like Dan Savage. If you already agree with that statement, this book will be fun for you, and you can skip the rest of the review. If you've never read Mr. Savage's sex advice column or his other books (one of which is just a collection of advice columns), here's the scoop. He's a funny, uninhibited, liberal gay man with a fair amount of common sense, a lot of opinions and he expresses himself remarkably well. If you are offended by the sort of person who enjoys picking on Bill Bennet, or the sort of person who will mention sex acts in a description of foreign policy, you should pass on this one. This is Dan's answer to Bennett's Slouching Toward Gomorrah in much the way that Ruch Limbaugh Is A Big Fat Idiot is Al Franken's answer to Rush Is Right . The idea is that Dan will go out and commit each of the 7 Deadly Sins, and write a chapter about it. Which is what he does, in the same way that what he does each month is write a syndicated sex column. That is to say, it provides a basic structure that he violates whenever he has something else to say. Dan writes well enough that this works, but I suspect that most writers shouldn't try it at home. Skipping is a series of vignettes that will leave you chuckling and thinking for a while. Assuming you're still reading the review, buy it and enjoy.

On the one hand, it felt like it lasted forever; on the other, I can't believe the holidays are upon us. I'm still adding new Halloween photos! Enjoy the impressive array - one, I'm told, included a contact lens with the scarlet mote. Now that's commitment. And check out the Tattoo and Fan Art galleries for more additions, too. Thanks to everyone for sharing! A couple of Banewreaker reviews are available at sffworld.com and SF Reviews.net . There's a good one in the November issue of Locus Magazine, too, though it's not available online. . Several of the reviews comment on the fact that characters on both sides of the struggle are sincere in their convictions, which is true. And once again, I find myself drawing parallels between issues I'm exploring in this duology and current events. As an American, I'm disturbed by the extremity of the polarization emerging in this country and the extent to which opposing sides vilify one another. Actual facts have become increasingly irrelevant; truth is determined by whoever controls the dialogue. So, too, in

I discovered very early in my roving years that the beauty spot the travel ads hope to ensnare you to was very different from the beguiling picture they painted of it. The charming but modest hotel in the romantic country painted by Manet or Monet was usually on a street where buses clattered and motorbikes ripped through at two-minute intervals through the night. The nearby ocean, only minutes away, would have tested the best form of a long distance Olympic runner. And so on. But I saw an ad the other day that tugged at me: "Come with us," it said, "down memory lane." It was designed for old folks. It offered to accommodate a party of 12 or 20 and let them together decide on foreign spots they'd loved in their youth. The company then arrange the deal. Well, 20 years ago I might have nibbled at this juicy bait, though I believe I'd have backed out at the last minute and chosen not only my own landscapes but my remembered hotels, restaurants, swimming coves, jai alai stadiums, not to mention what the song calls "all the girls I loved before".

Before the election, I thought Abu Aardvark's powerful post nailed the choice Americans faced. This was an election to decide whether this was a country of human beings or of monsters. After the election, with that post still in my head, I think I was more disturbed by what Bush's election seemed to tell me about my neighbors than I was by what it boded for the future. Over the past few months I've caught myself many times, in traffic, staring at a Bush bumper sticker still clinging to the back of a car, and wondering about the people inside, glancing over at elderly couples, and college students, and vans with a carpool's worth of kids, and wondering how come I see no signs of anger or irrational fear. These are the people who voted for torture? That girl singing along with the radio in her car? That lady to whom people have entrusted their children? Quite illiberal, that thought. I get furious at Bush for dividing people into good and evil, as if evil were not something that runs through all of us, and here I am, trying to see it stamped on faces like the mark of Cain.

Jeremiah, 6:16 Odd, isn't it, that George F. Babbitt should be one of the most reviled characters in American literature? What, after all, is his great crime ? It's not that he's a conformist; we're all conformists of one kind or another; such is the nature of social creatures. No, the problem with George Babbitt, that which has so incensed intellectuals for some eighty-odd years is the set of ideas that he conforms to : Middle American idealshard work, thrift, salesmanship, conservatism, Christianity, family values, monogamy, the whole panoply of traditional morays of which the Left is so contemptuous. George's story is fairly simple. A successful Realtor in the booming midwestern city of Zenith, married with three children, George is a pillar of the community and a support to his family, but he's not happy. Everyone is always coming to him with their complaints about life, but he's never supposed to question his lot. Then his friend, Paul Riesling, begins to express his own dissatisfaction and together the two begin to sow some wild oats. George goes along on a trip to Maine without their wives, but eventually Paul sprints ahead by first having an affair and then shooting his wife.

40. Alpaca Burger Forum For Cranky Old Men Cut the bad guys no slack. posted by hemmingway @ 0842 AM EST Comment Does this Jacques fellow realize how boring he seems to the regular folks? http://www.newcounterculture.com/log/archives/archive-072004.htm

Alpaca Burger Forum: Whence pleasing fumes and low grumbles waft out o'er the hills Saturday, July 31, 2004 Who is profiting the most from the war in Iraq? A very interesting question was posted over at The Evangelical Outpost : Has any individual made as much money off the war as Michael Moore? There are already plenty of reasons that Moore should be prosecuted, fined and exiled (since it's probably not practical to just have him taken out and shot). Chief among them would be the impact his work is having on the military "Michael Moore's film, Fahrenheit 9/11, is making the rounds here at U.S. bases in Kuwait. Some soldiers have received it already and are passing is around. The impact is devastating. Here we are, soldiers of the 1st Armored Division, just days from finally returning home after over a year serving in Iraq, and Moore's film is shocking and crushing soldiers, making them feel ashamed. Moore has abused the First Amendment and is hurting us worse than the enemy has. There are the young and impressionable soldiers, like those who joined the Army right out of high school. They aren't familiar w/ the college-type political debate environment, and they haven't been schooled in the full range of issues involved. They are vulnerable to being hurt by a vicious film like Moore's." "Specialist Janecek, who is feeling depressed because a close family member is nearing the end of her life, just saw the film today. I saw him in the DFAC. He is devastated. 'I feel shitty, ashamed, like this was all a lie.' Not only is he looking at going straight to a funeral when he returns home, but now whatever pride he felt for serving here has been crushed by Moore's film. Specialist Everett earlier after seeing the film: 'You'll be mad at shit for ever having come here.' And there are others. Mostly the comments are absolute shock at the close connections Moore makes between the Bush family and the Bin Laden family in Saudi Arabia. 'Bush looks really really REALLY corrupt in this film. I just don't know what to think anymore,' is a common comment to hear. Some of these soldiers are darn right ashamed tonight to be American soldiers, to have been apart of this whole mission in Iraq, and are angry over all that Moore has presented in his film."
