  In Regard to Saying Nothing when Zacharek has Something Nice To Say?...

  Hmmm?... I just read "And, yet, between her pans of "Knight" and "Mamma" she posted a highly positive review of "Before I Forget"--and not a single comment has been posted about that one."

  In my case, that would be because she said nothing positive that hadn't been said before, just as surely as (when she says something negative) I'm highly aware that I can read a "positive" review (from a more widely-known publication and almost always publisehd just before hers) by Zacherek, and I can tell exactly what she'll choose to react against.

  She has adopted a postion (in the word's most purely strategical meaning), and she seems to be maintaining it quite admirably (in Paglian terms).

  All I have to say is that she's obviously intelligent (not as though many of Salon's readers AREN'T), writes well (who doesn't among us?), and seems rather bent on solidifying her position as a provacateur. Oh...La Fatigue du Nord!......

  It's a very simple procedure.....even the twitty, 24/7-faux-outraged girls at "Broadsheet" are managing to make hay for themsevles out of this method, to Salon's discredit.

  and, yes, I know..."If you don';t like her reveiws, than stop reading them!".

  Back to hauling mulch for me,
