"Whatever barbarity or brutishness of Rhett's they were trying to convey is completely undercut by the very next scene."

That's not what they were trying to convey...

So they were trying to convey that marital rape is normal? It's what the woman wants?

But fuck that...AMURICA!!!

I liked GWTW okay. It is a major part of Americana and all. Yes, it was basically a soap opera.

I think the book was better. It didn't rise to the level of genius of The Sound and the Fury, but it was still a good read.

Bush drove the Titanic into the iceberg. Obama kept backing up and ramming the iceberg again, over and over.

I wonder if the Salon writers will give credit where credit is due on the Libya and Syria mess.

[Professor Tiger]

Those are Bush's fault, too.

In a brazen attempt to knock Lois Lerner's personal computer off the Fox news ticker, U.S. Special Forces captured some dude who may or may not have been in or near the Middle East the night our consulate in Benghazi was attacked

Rice was simply performing what's known in liberal circles as resume enhancement.

Someone dig Faulkner up to write a 1200-word sentence by an unknown narrator to fill me in on what video they are discussing.

In the end Bush still sucked. Spin however you want.

[hedge]

I blame Bush for Faulkner's bad writing...

Point well made, rat, but it's also true that oprama has fallen short trying to unfuck what 8 woebegone years of dubya has wrought.

In order to get us back to the Clinton-era prosperity we once enjoyed, the obvious course is obvious. Hopefully the PAH won't keep us in suspense too much longer.

“Twelve voices were shouting in anger, and they were all alike. No question, now, what had happened to the faces of the pigs. The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.”

Keep trying, AA. With sufficient mental effort on your part, you'll figure out both the video and Faulkner.
