Stupid Is As Stupid Does

I hate Tom Friedman. He is an absolute prick.

How he writes for the NY Times and is considered a professional pundit is beyond me. For the last 6 years I've read this numbskull make case after case for the a-rabs to "suck on this" after 9/11 and to support Bush for just "six more months", etc...and NOW all of a sudden in the above linked article he's all like - "Gee, this whole 9/11 mentality made us stupid.." and then somehow justifies some haughty knowingly pontification about all of it.

No, dickwad, it made YOU stupid. YOU. There are roughly 60% of Americans who never fell for the Stupid. You did. You fell hard. You rolled in the Stupid. You embraced the Stupid. The Stupid paid your bills in fact, Tom. And you continued to be Stupid for a long period of time. Yet, amazingly, you can be stupid and still get paid to do your job, which makes you barely the equivalent of a fast food worker.

And now, NOW, you think you're all smart and insightful and can string big sentences together by calling it all Stupid about, what, six years after the cow has left the barn?

Die.

About Me

So that's me there in that picture. Or me in anime/manga form. I'll probably change that picture from time to time. What else? Well, I call New York City home. My passions include, but are by no means limited to music, politics, capoeira, and good single malt scotch. I suppose if you need to know more than that just mosey on over to the about page more info.

A Quick Observation

Ah, death metal and ballet - two great tastes that go together. Well, if by together you use a crowbar and some sort of lube.

A Short Aside

One of my favorite pleasures is spending quiet Sunday mornings with a cup of coffee and the NY Times. Highlights from this Sunday include a piece about 1970's New York and it's reflection on the ABC show 'Life on Mars' , an appreciation for the TED lecture series, a profile of one of contemporary China's best selling writers, and the role of internet social networks and protests on the Arab street.

Oh and some more bullshit from Tom Friedman...

Listening

Burst Lazarus Bird

How I missed this magnificent disc last year escapes me. Out in a barren waste where Swedish death metal meets Pink Floydian textures and Tool's hypnotic repetitiveness. A stunning work of stark metal beauty.

The Love We Share Without Knowing

Christopher Barzak's fragile novel about love and loss set in contemporary Japan. Light like a wind chime, heavy enough to break your heart.
