The ubiquity of Urinetown. The local rag of the Chicago desk has a story about that "Loopy musical with a risque title." True to its booster ethos, it plays up the fact that it was written by a University of Chicago graduate (who immediately left town for bigger things).

In other news from the middle, it's digging for justice day. Tasks include: digging through generally neglected passages in Rawls's A Theory of Justice to finish a paper and digging through all uses of "just" and "justice" in Hobbes to see if a paper idea might pan out. Wish me luck!
