Thursday: Keep a Knockin!

Did Al Gore say it? Or was it the Unabomber? It may be more difficult to decide than you think.
You're Not Crazy. Art Today is Crap: "Why is the art world a disaster? .... As W. S. Gilbert knew, when everybody's somebody, nobody's anybody. When the outre attitudes of a tiny elite go mainstream, only the rhetoric, not the substance, of the drama survives. That's part of the answer: the domestication of deviance, and its subsequent elevation as an object of aesthetic -- well, not delectation, exactly: perhaps veneration would be closer to the truth." (Roger Kimball)
Senate Dumps Immigration. Theme Song?
"Keep a knockin' but you can't come in
Keep a knockin' but you can't come in
Keep a knockin' but you can't come in
Come back tomorrow night and try it again"

And you know they will.

Not to make light of a serious situation, I mean, John Edwards's wife seem to be a nice person, and I wish her all the best, ya-da, but:
Have you considered the doctor that's treating her? He/she has to be an absolute altruist, and true believer in alleviating humen suffering...

Wow, I only scored 42% on the Gore/Unabomber quiz.

Roger Kimball wouldn't know art if it bit his skanky white behind. Kimball has only a chain of prejudices which he periodically footnotes and pretends is an argument.

58% for me but it was pure luck. Amazing really how much they sing the same tune but I can't say I'm surprised.

I got 83%. I only got two wrong. W00t!

33%, and I was TRYING :-/

Somehow I assumed that Al Gore would be the more reasonable of the two.

Actually, I read the Unabomber's manifesto when it was first published.

That was over ten years ago, and I certainly don't remember every part of it.

But in general, the Unabomber's quotes were better written. The stuff that looks rambling and confused: Gore.
