The great Comics Curmudgeon took notice of me! That totally made my day. (Thanks to
springheel_jack for pointing it out; I read CC frequently but not regularly and I might have otherwise missed it.) Does this mean that Josh reads
mf_roasted?
Also via
springheel_jack: Michael Crichton is a dick who can't write and can't take criticism. I heard he also has a tiny penis.

Yeah, ain't that Michael Crichton a peach? "Oh yeah, criticize me, will ya? Well, I'll just create a character who's a child murderer and name him after you!" You can almost imagine him sticking out his tongue and waving it in Michael Crowley's direction as he was writing.

I'm glad that Crowley found it as funny as I do, and took the opportunity to bash Crichton again. Hee.

Hmmm... I typed a long response to this earlier, and I guess it did not go through before the computer lost its fucking mind.
I can't remember exactly what I said, other than that Michael Crowley is one of the most mild-mannered of all the talking heads that appear regularly on the evening chat shows on MSNBC. He is certainly not an attack dog, and not deserving of being maligned in such a manner. That said, I have almost no use whatsoever for the New Republic.

Seriousy, I'm quite surprised. Not like I ever admired him or thought he was a particularly good writer, but that's still a surprise to me!

The news these day is seriously reaching Onion porportions, you can't really tell what is fake and what's real anymore.

It seems that
wallsfences are a popular way of keeping people out these days. There's a wall in D-town that separates an 88% black neighbourhood from a 91.5% white suburban neighbourhood that came out of the race riots in the 1960s, and none of the suburbanites seemed interested in breaking down the wall. My class mate reports, "One person from GPP (the suburb) commented, 'Instead of having a wall, we should have a piggy bank where we put in all the money for the beautification of both our neighbourhoods. But you know, someone is bound to break into it and steal all of the money from our collective efforts.'"no subject
