lousy timing, mr sen-rothschild: stanford. Amartya Sen -- Monday, May 2 @ 5:30pm, Cubberley Auditorium

mar 2nd, 2011 CE

i guess mr amartya sen-rothschild's pontifications will get thoroughly drowned out by osama-mania today. 

or maybe sen-rothschild will thunder about osama's human rights and the lovely social choices he made. 

but i love the diversion. this is a bit like mteresa's funeral was rendered totally foregettable by princess di's death.

and some british princeling's marriage also got drowned out by osama's being shot in the head and dumped in the sea today.

can't say i am sorry in any of these cases. they deserved to be ignored. 

but i am still wiping the tears from my face from ROTFLing about sen-rothschild's hosts: center for ethics in society. yeah, perfect.

there are many in india who would not recognize ethics in society if it were presented to them on a plate with watercress around it, and it jumped up and punched them on the nose. most of these people are also members of 'civil society', of the NAC, and of outfits like "communism wombat".
