I love the discussion of fiction as self-indulgence unless there's a reader in mind. But even when new media challenge's one's reclusive tendencies, the right town will help you pull it off.
As a fervent Daily Show fan, I find Howard Kurtz's analysis baffling. Maybe it's my own liberal bias showing, but Jon Stewart has always been an equal-opportunity skewer of things that don't make sense. And this whole paragraph:
His "senior black correspondent," Larry Wilmore, solemnly informed the host that "Negroes aren't magic. . . . He's just suffering from the hard bigotry of high expectations." On another night, Stewart chided Obama for his cerebral style, saying: "You thought you could win us over with rational policy decisions and an even temperament?"I interpreted less as chiding of Obama and more as pointing out the public's unrealistic expectations.
Sledding in Alexandria has gotten harder.
My governor, everyone.
