To clarify: the title is excerpted from Act 1 of Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost. The full quote goes: "Light, seeking light, doth light of light beguile; So ere you find where light in darkness lies, Your light grows dark by losing of your eyes." It's a warning against spending too much of your life in scholarly pursuits.

One For Katie
I have never been much of a Katie Couric fan and usually avoid shows on which she appears, but this time I'm on her side. Apparently in a recent interview she was insufficiently "sensitive" in questioning John and Elizabeth Edwards and now the MSM and the bloggies are jumping all over her. [clip here] Mickey Kaus wants to "throttle" her [here].
Way to go Katie! Stick to your guns. This "sensitivity" crap is nothing less than an attempt to limit permissible speech and thus to control what people can know and even think. It should be opposed whenever it appears.
[Besides, this gives me an opportunity to run this picture. It's been sitting in my files for many months and I knew that eventually it would be appropriate.]
