The blog is back, and I say...

Lefty criticism of plutocratic cabals: Good!

Boobs painted in holiday themes: Good!

Additional boobs, painted or not: Welcome!

Any mention of my buddy-by-proxy Thomas Frank: Good!

Including the entire text of a page you rip from Salon, including the part that says "Reproduction without permission is prohibited": Inadvertantly amusing.

Adam's admission that he has never read The Lord of the Rings: Shocking.
In re that last one... No one has to read Tolkien. There are some mighty turgid passages in there, especially great chunks of the second book. But we are talking about (1) the most important fantasy series ever, and (2) Adam, who has read literally thousands of pages of crap fantasy, including dozens of books by David Eddings. What gives there? Come on, Adam, it will take you one wasted weekend and then you can say that you read the books before you saw the movie.
Meanwhile, here is a true-life web journal that will illuminate relationships as if the comic strip Cathy had been written with the characters from Andy Capp. Quoth the author, "Before you judge me, just think how many people out there would use this space to put up photographs of their cats."
OK, carry on with the boobs and such. -- Mr. Joel
