What is most striking is just how downright sophomoric it is… wanting to perhaps engage in the same, I’m disappointed that I can’t locate a photo anywhere of the artist.

Boyd: the difference? well, participants in Judge Judy’s court can’t rely on the State to enforce her rulings. As a lawyer, I read statements that a religious court has been adopted as part of the country’s legal structure to mean just that: a sharia court’s ruling that a woman is legally divorced by virtue of her husband stating “I divorce you” three times controls over any other pronouncement of British law … and how many Muslim wives, looking death in the face, are going to hold out for a divorce in British law courts with the protections of alimony, child custody laws, and so on? Sharia courts now stand equal with British law courts and their judgments are enforceable by British courts, no matter their substance or nature.

Actually, Benj, if Ken’s spring was wound too tight and it snapped, it would be be a better man than you that dealt with him and it wouldn’t take long.
Sounds like it pulls your string little man. But then when push came to shove my guess is that you’d probably be quite ineffective.
Makes it a scary world, doesn’t it.:)
As for the kind of people Ken is talking about, enforcing the law would take care of them. And it would take care of Ken if he actually made a move.
Most of the kind of people Ken would like to act against, to use an Australian idiom, “couldn’t organise a chook (chicken) raffle”.
In other words no big deal.
Don’t panic, Benj.
It’s all in your mind. Chatter mind.:)

According to PDN photo magazine, Jill Greenberg has been dropped by both her New York and West Hollywood agencies/representatives. I guess even progressive liberals in NY and LA can be embarrassed by blatent unprofessional hatred.

“Just to clarify: a “Sherman solution” doesn’t consist of extermination. It consists of killing off the worst of the worst, the irreconcilables. It’s essentially the Surge brought to the USA. It isn’t like your Democrat uncle with the German shepherd would die. It would generally be a bunch of violent, twisted, drug addicted, continually unemployed losers who got told at the punk rock concert that the Republicans wanted to take their Hustler magazines, and who responded by pushing an old lady off some stairs (since, you know, all old people are Republicans). We’re not talking normal, average people here…”

You said a mouthful brother. Any other Clubbers down for Ken’s program? After all, it’s light stuff, not “some Auschwitz type mass murder, but rather simply the enforcement of martial law.” Wretch – I repeat – You don’t have to go the City to find The Heart of Darkness. It’s much closer to home. Right up in your threads – pumping inside one of your fans…

Your call.

And presumably, this would happen in the context of a failed uprising by the same people. So it would not be some Auschwitz type mass murder, but rather simply the enforcement of martial law.

RWE – I think Ms. Greenberg has just aced herself a position with the new cultural brownshirt brigade that Obama wants to set up to counterbalance the military.

““Yes, scary.”… – No wonder Wretch rushed to start another thread even if he had serve up passages he’d just written a few threads back – With friends like Ken…”

Yeah, these threads are so awful you couldn’t resist posting another one of your novels on here. And when you come to peddle your Kool-Aid, maybe you could at least be a little clearer. “[H]e had serve up?” Must be that Magic Negro eloquence rubbing off on you.

As long as the media business model is soap opera characters, no public debate can happen that doesn’t go through soap opera.

Politicians just piggyback on that business model.

The place to intervene, if intervention is to be done, is the audience for that media output. Say through ridicule.

It’s only 20% of the population that’s involved in tuning in.

That’s not to say that there’s some other business model for the media that will work. Probably there isn’t.

It is said that history is written by the winners.

And so it is with Modern Art. If Obama wins Greenberg can be assured of some choice assignments, if not by the Atlantic then by some other rags. Or perhaps an appointment as the Deputy Assistant Undersecretary for Alternative Culturalism on Alternate Wendesdays In Months That Do Not Have An R In Them in Obama’s new Department of Peace.

If McCain wins she won’t be found in a dumpster in Georgetown with 3 rounds in the back of her head.

It’s a win-win situation from her perspective.
