    Lord. My college was filled with these people, and it was insufferable, and cured me from wearing my politics on my sleeve, not that I was walking around using "disempowered" in sentences, anyway. Like my ex always used to say, "Scratch a hippie, you get a fascist."


    Yes, I'd like to see some of this fantastic content that was cut, myself.

    @Senor_Wences: A long time ago I was fried for suggesting in print that there was no essential difference between deciding to skip work and hold a love-in and deciding to fly to Paris for lunch.

    This is nothin'. Wait til you see my fake New York Sun. It includes a list of "1000 Enemies of Israel in the Media", a retrospective on the Montreal Expos, and three reviews of operas no one under 60 will bother to see.

    I'm sure Gawker would post the cut material in The Spiked Files. I would actually be pretty interested in seeing what was cut.

    If this was a joke, then the freedom song I wrote, Lady Baghdad in a Burka (War is Over), is seeming grossly premature.

    Refresh my memory. Did the perps do the "Mr. Diddley" story? You can't parody the Times without doing a piece about Times house style handling rock stars' last names: "Mr. Diddley," "Mr. Loaf," "Mr. The Edge," etc. Every Times parody has had one.

    The problem that I have when people say correct things like this is that using words like "disempower" and "misconform" makes them sound like idiots.

    What's disheartening is that Friedman did not really resign.

    @Weegee's bored: They'll have to have a "group consciousness" session to discuss whether to begin discussing the deconstruction. It will take several phone calls just to set that first meeting up.

    Wow. Rock on, Anne. I had thought the whole thing was kind of nothing more than a little bit of a lark and couldn't understand how it had taken months and months of planning by lots of people. Looks like it got hijacked or compromised somehow.
