But then so does the $400 billion annual deficit that the Federal Government was already heading for before this new thing came along. And yet that didn't seem to have any real-life effect either. Nor have any of the other gargantuan numbers that have floated past us in the generation since Ronald Reagan declared in his first Inaugural Address that society is like a family and has to live within its means.

...same name—and they threaten to push “Choke” over the precipice of the adventurous and into the realm of the dubious and downright ridiculous. For most viewers, this particular moment is one too many. As a screenwriter, Gregg doesn’t seem to have any thematic aspirations, except for what appears to be a slavish devotion to Palahniuk’s zero-sum social nihilism and the narcissistic sexual gluttony that hastens in its wake. Whether it’s Gregg’s unsuccessful adaptation of the novel or the book?...
