“Talk about a double standard,” Limbaugh intoned, after several callers complained that it was unfair he was forced into an apology. “Rappers can say anything they want about women [and] it’s called art. And they win awards.”

From now on

From now on, I’m referring to all bigoted types (racists, homophobes, xenophobes, maybe even theophobes - anyone who shows indifference or hatred toward a person or class of person because of a perceived difference) as “those people.” That is, unless I am confronted face-to-face by one of the same said persons or a group thereof composed. In which case I will use as acceptable nomenclature “you people” or “you fucking people.”

The Senator was at the capitol to protest anti-abortion legislation in the state. “When I saw that sign out of all of those signs, I was like, I’ve got to have a picture of it,” said McIntyre, D-Tulsa. “I thought if my 87-year-old mother sees this, I’m going to get hell this weekend, but it was too late,” said McIntyre, according to NewsOK.com Photo: Sen.

Donald Barthelme's Syllabus

Oh, Barthelme - you were the last great original writer, who stole mercilessness from Rabelais and everyone else.

by Kevin Moffett

There was a time when I fought against an impatience with reading, concealing, with partisanship, the fissures in my education. I confused difficulty with duplicity, and that which didn’t come easily, I often scorned. Then, in my last year of college in Gainesville, Florida, I was given secondhand a list of eighty-one books, the recommendations of Donald Barthelme to his students. Barthelme’s only guidance, passed on by Padgett Powell, one of Barthelme’s former students at the University of Houston and my teacher at the time,was to attack the books “in no particular order, just read them,” which is exactly what I, in my confident illiteracy, resolved to do.

But first I had to find the books, a search that began at Gainesville’s Friends of the Library warehouse book sale. Early morning, the warehouse parking lot was filled with about fifty men, women, and children waiting for the doors to open. At the front of the line were the all-nighters, hard-core sci-fi fans, amateur Civil War historians, and chasers of obscurities, rumored to have been there since before midnight. Some had brought with them hibachis and coolers and battery-powered radios, giving the parking lot the feel of a Gator football pre-game with less angry hope.
