...appear to him in Dickens-like fashion to “Teach him the true meaning of patriotism.”It seems clear that this film was created for a conservative audience, or if nothing else, a xenophobic, interventionalist, sexist, and racist one.With this conservative comedy in mind, I started thinking about the “liberal” approach to poking fun at conservative politics and society. This election has provided a healthy portion of such media, from heavyweights like The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, and Saturday Night Live, but there’s something remarkably different...
...We’ll find out soon enough whether Biden’s offensive jokes or Palin’s feeble mind surrendered the ten-second clip that lost either of their more able running mates the election. But just as last week’s show did nothing to advance the debate, except maybe exclude bracelets from future episodes, last night’s will do no more to put voters on the path toward making the right choice.

...account of an anonymous writer in an unnamed Latin American country, commissioned to edit 1,100 pages of testimonies from survivors of massacres of Indian villages.“Senselessness” begins with the words spoken by one survivor: “I am not complete in the mind.” By its end, the same can be said about the narrator, a paranoid alcoholic who loves sex and despises the Catholic Church, a curiously obsessive, self-absorbed man whose overactive mind is most vulnerable to the graphic details of the accounts he has been paid to read...
