A Thinking Reed

"Man is but a reed, the most feeble thing in nature, but he is a thinking reed" – Blaise Pascal

Spare me

I was pretty sure I didn’t want to see Borat, but this clinches it for me. Low-brow humor I can take, but pretentious and self-righterous low-brow humor – no thanks.

Anyway, America has got to be among the least anti-Semitic countries in the world by any standard I can think of.

I did watch a few episodes of the Ali G show and thought they were pretty funny. But it’s way funnier to make fun of Newt Gingrich and Boutros-Boutros Ghali to their faces than some guys in a cowboy bar. I mean, the latter is not exactly daring, is it?

  1. Is “self-righterous” some inside joke I am not getting?

  2. Um yeah, an inside joke … that’s the ticket! Not a spelling error, nope! Move along, folks, nothing more here to see…
