...to borrow from the last chapter title of Edward Said’s “flawed classic” (Terry Eagleton’s words) Orientalism is, for me, an ongoing project that tragically has too much primary material to draw from.

If you want to kill a few minutes, look at this piece from CBS news show 60 Minutes; is it silly to expect more from educated people?

Perhaps Orpah should add Said to her book club; what the hell is this?

I don’t know if I want to shoot myself or everyone else….

Something to take the edge off…
