Blogger, the software that runs this blog, was down for a while yesterday, and while it announced all lost posts would be restored, Thursday's posts seem not to have returned. You know what, I think I'll let em go, and not even try to reconstruct what there was... one about Niall Ferguson, I recall, maybe another... Let it be proof that blogging is ephemeral. Go away for a day, and hey, you might miss something.
Update, May 16: Hey, now it is back.
