The Banality of Mamet

March 12th, 2008 Posted in Of Interest

Mamet’s “Why I am No Longer a ‘Brain-Dead Liberal‘”: A long, boring, unedited piece, and what do we get at the end?

at the end of the day, they are the same folks we meet at the water cooler

(A great way to brand the Rwandan or any other genocide, e.g.: “Hutus: the same folks we Tutsis met at the well”)

But the title of this piece should really be, “that’s funny, as I age and acquire wealth and become more cranky, I become more conservative.”

I’d rather read Stanley Fish on Starbucks.
