On “things I don’t get”
As a fellow fan of big MM, I appreciated your Yglesian short sentence + exclamation point, 'And that's okay!' Keep it up.
On “radical Jainism makes more sense to me than veganism”
Have you read Elizabeth Costello?
On “A- still does not imply Anti-”
'There is a freedom that is breathtaking and terrible in spiritual and theological nihilism that I find singular.' -- excellent, but Freddie, atheism entails work -- If when you die you cease for ever to exist, if you believe this, how should you live your life? (accepting we cannot answer, 'Invent a god') is a question that makes different demands of us but makes them still. Your 'comfort', too, I cannot share -- that moment that I suppose is the last of many lives -- when one knows one is now dying -- as much I do dread.
Oh, unbelief is work. It's this that drives most to another and easier, which is faith.
On “the genuine shame of Ross Douthat’s New York Times column”
I can't get over the drunken mastication thing.
On “Let Me Love– Til Death Do Us Part”
STYLE ADVICE 1: Never, never ever, use 'pen' for 'write'.
On “induction leading to abortion qualms”
Of course there are ethical problems with killing foetuses.
On “Watchmen”
F, it is hard to write criticism. Don't undertake the task lightly.
Which von Triers have you seen? The truncated USA trilogy is shit indeed; but ..
On “away from Joe=towards success?”
DeLong's response was better.
'Americans are against, not for, tax cuts for the rich. Americans are against, not for, Great Depressions.'
On “my blog post titles demonstrate my ironic detachment and caustic verve”
Cheers.
On “A poem for Sunday”
I say I say, you lot have much better taste than Sullivan or Coates.
On “calling bullshit on bullshit”
bit frothy-mouthy
On ““All I want… to kno-ow! All I want!””
mclusky!
On “the inevitability dodge”
We saved some people from genocide in eastern Europe, didn't we?
On “not everyone who says he’s your friend is your friend”
Freddie well he's a fabbro, yet your politicall obverse, non?
The canticle was a hold of flowers
A temporary hold. A little many guessed
Yours the supplest of towers
Yours the sapping hold on jest.
On “Sunday Poem”
That's too Poundian
On “incoherent blockbusters and the Dark Knight”
lapdancing: den beste doesn't know it's bullshit.
plus, plenty of art doesn't 'make sense'. no one talks like hamlet. what matters is whether we realise or care.
