Press & TV Political Evangelism
Item: I’ve decided against a military career. It’s too hard on poor front page editors. Though when something goes wrong their indignation doesn’t extend to construction workers and others who die on the job. And yet they’ll desperately call the cops of whom dozens get killed each year, should their own house get blown up. ‘Own’ the operative word here, thus ‘indignation’ partial and a calculation. Editors with an agenda in other words. A fronted agenda, or a forum hijacked and to news what infomercials are to education. But getting them to admit any of this another kettle of fish, not even when drunk. And what this says is nobody in his right mind is for war, but we should also be against cheap, exploitative sentiment
Item: I just bought my wife a Hamburghini
- Last week I bought her a tPod
-Nothing but the best, you’ll agree
Item: As for Stewart & Colbert Glib Sanctimony Inc: Mass murderer Lenin called western protesters his useful idiots; predictably some have found their way into this daily studio. It’s equally disturbing to see people make a comfortable living out of cloying moralism and others making this the place where they get all their news to begin with. But then this has been going on for thousands of years, except they used to wear robes and the congregation kneeled. And mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the most decent of them all… is so much goodness ‘on the sleeve’ not much more than self-congratulatory delusion? Evangelism shouldn’t pose as humour, this professional flaunting of decency on the cheap, followed by nothing but empty derision. Let’s face it, I don’t care much for people against war foolishly suggesting that I’m for war by not subscribing to lunatic reasoning and bitingly inane one-liners. I’m not, but also against forest fires and mudslides and strongly suggesting you admire me for it. Now can I have my own TV show?
Item: During Iraq, the same number of Americans were shot and killed in the city of Los Angeles. Nobody talks about them. Non-ideological war at home not as fashionable or attention-grabbing to the tenured and the Pulitzered? A famine of indignity? A feast of selectivity?
Item: As with the tango, it takes two to be decent!
Item: It’s unwise for sheep to negotiate a non-aggression pact with wolves
Item: Comfortably distant protest continues to have life’s injustices settled by victims because it feels aggrieved by concrete but not risk-free intervention. Sensitivity has mysterious ways… Among these many blind alleys and the odd cul-the-sac
