Congrats to Crooked Timber and its individual members for being the Amadeus of the Koufax Awards. In honor of Mr. Berlin, I’d like to recommend the subtitle of CT be changed to “The Foxy Blog.”

I would like to grumble about the category “Best Group Blog”, which I am sure robbed us of our rightful “Best Blog” nominations. Rassen Frassen Cinematography Award Frassen Foreign Film Frassen.

Similarly, Isaiah Berlin once remarked to me at High Table that “The Instapundit knows one thing; Crooked Timber knows many big things.” Or words to that effect Surely this should be transcribed as the Insta-hedgehog knows one big idea which it builds into unipolar way of interpreting and seeing the world, while the CT skulk has many diverse ideas, allowing them to explore their environment through a number of different ways. As one prospective grad student who pondered whether to do his thesis on Berlin’s philosophy or not, exclaimed to me, “his big idea, is that there are no big ideas”.
