...previous work, Warner's methods in Bogeyman are culturally omnivorous, ranging over Goya, the Alien movies, the origins of the word boo and the many meanings of bananas. Best dipped into rather than read in one go, the book very much matches contemporary experience. "We live in a floating, borderless mass of impressions and images which come at us," Warner explains...
...wingding, when she surprised even some of her top supporters by laying out a gun-control agenda that calls for full federal funding for instant background checks, outlawing all cop-killer bullets, upholding the assault-weapons ban and mandating child-safety locks. The speech received at least one hearty boo, and when it was over, the applause was spotty.

The best way is to not even engage men in debate about whether or not the role of the mother is important, but to get out there and speak about...
When I had tea with Lewis, I asked him why I've seen white fans boo black boxers for not throwing enough punches. He insisted that the crowds aren't racist, just full of bloodlust. He's right. I had hoped that after the Golota bout, civilized people like me would realize this and abandon boxing for nobler pursuits. Like watching catfighting lesbians on Jerry Springer for free...
