Out of Control - Here are some links
Howdy! Not much time for original content today; here are some articles I found interesting.
1. Book review - Death of the Critic. Thanks, english professors, for not resting until you thoroughly screwed everything up!
2. Charles Krauthammer helps me figure out why watching the democratic primary is an exercise in "yep, I saw this one coming" for anyone who's ever studied a subject tainted with identity politics. Depressing as hell, but succinct.
3. David Mamet isn't being insufferable? What the hell?
4. Via Fark: "We haven't had a Tom Cruise/$cientology train-wreck video in a while...oh wait! Here's one!"
Have a good weekend!
I'm too easily confused for a post like this. I was interrupted between clicking through to and reading Mamet's VILLAGE VOICE piece, and found myself impressed as hell that you had written a prize-winning review of "Competitions" for NEW YORK magazine. Even if it is an open running sore on the body of world literacy.
I mean, c'mon, admit it: you might have written that.
Philosopher-Mom -
Heh. Glad I could contribute to your Web ADD. I suffer from it myself.
Amazing! David Mamet has been hit by a clue by four. He sees the world for what it is!
