Yeah! If only their corporate paymasters would send down a directive already with the official buzzwords, they'd really start to get something done.

Learn how to read. The "all our American and European new left anti-Israel discourse and/or slogans" of my post is a much, much more qualified category (indeed, of some kinds of ideas, rather than people) than that of the entirety of a national or ethnic group, which I accused certain segments of the left of…

What exactly is meant by "Israel" in such a sentence as:
 "notice that Israel and its supporters [play the 'you're a nazi' card] constantly and consistently,
as an all-purpose propaganda weapon for shutting down criticism of
Israel."

"Furthermore
the Israeli "Law of Return" grants citizenship based on ethnic
heritage, does that not smack just a smidge of Third Reich thinking."

A better analogy, Lt. Obvious, would be…

They didn't leave everything unresolved to make some kind of high-minded dramaturgical statement.

That's actually just what Manhattan looks like these days.

Yes its very nice to dismiss David Lynch's works as another serving of "small-town-kook," but um… he basically invented it, in big american movies and certainly on television. Lynch has done more than anyone since… let's just say Thomas Hardy for "small-town-kook."

Talking of post-punk bass players, the bass player of the Smiths was fucking intense. Some of those basslines are all over the place and can really make a song, from This Charming Man to the end.

That was 10 years ago, dude.

That's a lot of bunk, Eponymous. Sumner's compositions and his guitar are the centerpiece of all the tunes. And Morris's drums too. It's not hard to conceive or execute a "Peter Hook (tm)" bassline. You play one note 50 times and then when Sumner makes a turn in the lyrics or at the end of the verse you follow the…

She's a hero. You want to sit next to that guy on a plane, even without the sag? What does he do the whole time? Play with his PSP? Write his livejournal? He's probably nagging his mother the entire time.

@avclub-9079ea527e08a24dfad44e3302d5f091:disqus Your entire premise is founded on the racist idea that small woodland hominids are inferior to the human stormtroopers.

Of course, from the restoration of the monarchy into the victorian age, Shakespeare's tragedies were regularly edited by well-meaning publishers and impresarios to have happy endings, or to render "poetic justice" to otherwise dead or dispossessed characters. In some editions this amounted to the editor "correcting"…

That sounds more like a grouchy Cleveland Browns fan than an Aston Villa supporter.

Is it too late to change that to "swamp-dwelling harridan"?

You need an actress who looks sexy and alluring from half the angles and like a swamp-hag from the other 50%.

I have no fucking idea how to get to work without a morning zoo crew yapping through the car radio about how… what is the subject matter of these programs? They make jokes about Obama being gay or something like this?

By the way, for the people complaining about having "used up" their 20 articles at the Times website: it's really easy to circumvent their system. One could indeed say it invites circumvention. You simply delete the end of the web address after the ".html" which looks like "?blah=124127123123" and aways goes that sad…

He might make it to MSNBC first. Especially if he finds a way to spin the "suitcases full of viagra intercepted by customs while returning from a sex tourist vacation in the DR with the producers of '24.'"
