It's true that Jacques Derrida is dead and that Harry and Bela have yet to deliver eulogies for the great philosopher across the Atlantic. Stay tuned for the cat's eye view of intellectual French dudes.

And this just in from the employee lounge at the library at UC Davis: (thank to Dr. Walleye):

The Trader Joe's lowfat peach yogurt in the fridge carries a "best before" date of April 26th (year unspecified). Owner please toss--space in there is at a premium.

And check out the cool work my man Tony is doing:

Now available online and at bookstores:

Howard Zinn and Anthony Arnove

Voices of a People's History of the United States

Tony and Zinn do a book

The long-awaited primary-source companion to A People's History of the United States.

For this new book, Zinn and Arnove have selected testimonies -- speeches, letters, poems, songs, memoirs, protests -- from our rich history of resistance.

Here, in their own words, are:

Frederick Douglass, Bob Dylan, Fannie Lou Hamer, Cesar Chavez, George Jackson, Helen Keller, Public Enemy, Patti Smith, Tecumseh, Eugene Debs, Angela Davis, Rachel Corrie, Martin Luther King Jr., and hundreds of others.

Coming tomorrow: hat and bone update, photos of the handsome Burmese prince who has won my heart, Lisa takes another trip to London, and Alejandro's Excellent Galapagos Events in Brooklyn.

As they say in my hood, Peace.
