Once again, the eternally admirable Dr. Paglia has her monthly column up at Salon.

My Monthly Treat
In April, as in every month lately, I find myself checking Salon more and more often as we approach the Ides in hope that she has written her column.
It’s finally out, and it’s a great one. Gentle readers, pause in your intellectual pursuits and take the time to consider the great thoughts of a true genius.
Once again, the incomparable Camille has spoken.
I think that she comes in first on the list of folks I’d like to have dinner with.

Since October, the entire bunch of us at my house have been glued to a new television show about Superheroes. It combines the best parts of X-Men, X-Files and Lost without being either special-effects crazy or so slow to reveal secrets that you lose interest.
And, through the medium of the Internet, here’s your chance to watch the entire series so far for free with a short commercial interruption every now and then…..
Ladies and Gentlemen, for your entertainment and edification, I give you Heroes.
Take a weekend, sit back and go for the ride of your life.

About time
The University of Illinois is in the process of establishing The Academy on Capitalism and Limited Government. This will promote the study of how the free market, in cooperation with a state founded in liberty, can bring upward mobility to the poor and a star-spanning future to humanity.
It’s about time that libertarianism got a voice on our campus. It’s no secret that 40% of the Nobel Prizes in Economics have gone to scholars of the Austrian School. With the establishment of this Fund, the first-rate economists it will attract and the ongoing debate it will promote with the campus community, the University can be assured of a leadership position in the 21st.
Sic itur ad astra!!!
