Original article: I Like to Watch

well yeah

Continuing in list form, because I enjoy it:

A) If HH's characterization of Banks and lmwilker's comment are accurate, I don't think she needs anyone's help demonizing herself.

B) I think "evil" is a valid subset of "unflattering". I'll take responsibility for introducing that word though, perhaps it was overkill.

C) No, I don't believe in astrology. Yes, I think an article saying that Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin are pretty funny and Tyra Banks is irritating can be written without being an expression of some conscious or unconscious White Agenda.

D) I hope calling me a racist made you feel good, because it sure didn't help your argument.

E) You *did* guess my race and gender correctly. That was pretty awesome.

Bad assumptions

A) Being unflattering to a black person is racist? The article made it clear that she thinks Baldwin and Fey are funny, and Banks evil. Horns aren't so inappropriate.

B) I'd be surprised if the writers were responsible for the artwork.

Original article: Leaving Iraq? Not so fast

Redeployment must also include an asylum plan

It doesn't matter where blame is assigned:

Iraqi's that wish to opt out of the horror and join the free and peaceful world should be given that chance.

Tideland

It was a tough movie, but I didn't hate it.

The point it makes-- on the resiliancy and resourcefulness of children, and the essential role of imagination in that-- is well worth making, and was made pretty well.

The constant shifting between "sweet/charming/innocent" and "squirmy/uncomfortable" got a little tiring, but that's my only complaint.

As Florida, As Mexico, as eventually everywhere

The tools of persuasion and propaganda have reached such a perfect science, that given two well funded parties and competent candidates, the results will more and more be a virtual tie.

Original article: "Slacker": 15 years later

Elsewhere

From the interview:

You'd be sitting at this coffee shop with a guy talking to himself. This schizophrenic would just be going on -- very intelligently -- about this or that

That pretty much sums up the first half of Waking Life, doesn't it?
