Abstract
After abandoning the philosophy of identity around 1807, Friedrich Schelling's writings take a radical turn towards the question of the enigma of freedom and the perdurability of evil - the “positive,” violent, and self-proliferating presence of malice in the world. In their rhetoric and in their arguments, these mournful texts evoke a ruinous universe that suffers uncontrolled egotistical destruction, culminating in the emergence of the phenomenon of absolute enmity, or what Schelling calls spirit's “war against all Being.” My wager is that these texts do more than form a critique of German Idealism. They also respond to the horror, brutality, and extremity of the Revolutionary and post-Revolutionary wars unfolding all around Schelling. How does philosophy bear witness to the obscene specter of the birth of “total war”? Schelling's middle-period texts, I suggest, struggle to answer this question.

Yeah, but I find it kind of cumbersome. I build in certain requirements when I write assignments that usually take care of the problem, so when it comes up it's usually from students who are desperate because it's the last minute and they haven't been paying attention to requirements.
A lot of them are just confused and don't know how or why to cite properly.

"It was our only foreign representation, it was for a short tenure, and it was six years ago," Newsweek quoted Goodyear as saying. The magazine said Goodyear added that the junta's record in the current cyclone crisis is "reprehensible."
The Newsweek article also reported that some of Goodyear's allies worried the choice of Goodyear could fuel perceptions that McCain is surrounded by lobbyists. DCI Group earned $3 million last year lobbying for ExxonMobil, General Motors and other clients, the report said.
Newsweek also reported DCI has been a pioneer in running "independent" expenditure campaigns by so-called 527 groups, the kind of operations that McCain has denounced in his battle for campaign finance reform.

And in July, he'll be driving out there and bringing her and her two

it would look presentable, at least for a few moments.

Heh:
Barack Obama began sketching the outlines of his expected presidential contest against Republican John McCain on Saturday, saying the fall election will be more about specific plans and priorities than about questions of political ideology or who is more patriotic.
Barely mentioning Democratic rival Hillary Rodham Clinton, Obama said he was open to campaigning with McCain in "town hall" events. But he also warned that controversial issues such as McCain's ties to the Keating Five savings and loan scandal are fair game, and he called McCain's proposal for a temporary halt in the federal gasoline tax a pander and a gimmick.
Damn right it's fair game.

"Public relations" has so become the all-pervasive American paradigm that 'perception' and 'fact' are treated as interchangable.
Those who are not Of The Body on this are called 'the reality-based community", or more commonly, the "dirty fucking hippies".

Now, see, according to the LA Times, that's just an urban myth:
In mortgage market, ‘walkaway’ homeowners may be urban myth
Bankers and housing analysts say many homeowners, owing more than their homes are worth, are defaulting on their loans even when they can afford payments. But no hard numbers back up their claims.

There used to be a thrift store in the town where I lived.
They did pretty well here till the guy decided he was an antique dealer and started trying to overcharge for stuff. They went out of business two years ago and folks moved in who have been doing rather well.
They "clean out" houses of furniture for when people pass on or move into retirement homes.
Nice well made, older furniture at nice prices.
Today, I bought a desk - mahogany, from the 1950s....with the nice drawer at the top and the larger drawers on the side. Really nice.
It was marked $59 - lady gave it to me for $50. They're going to deliver it Wednesday night.
I want to get rid of the beat up cheap particleboard KMart thing that I've had my computer on for the past 11 years.

The writers' strike is still being felt all over.
It's not the strike on this one. It's the collapse of the television animation industry due to the relaxation of ownership rules, which lets the networks run the exact same shows on Saturday morning broadcast that they run on the cable channels they (or their parent companies) own during the rest of the week -- like ABC running Disney Channel reruns on Saturday morning. Used to be that that was a no no. And there is virtually no animation syndication market anymore. I did a count a few years ago comparing 2004 with 1995 and there are 30 fewer SERIES being produced a year in animation, and a lot of those used to be 65 episode series.

I would rather buy that and if I don't like the finish, I'll just strip it and re-stain it.
