Yes, I am deliberately stealing a word. But I have started another section dedicated to the last days of the American Republic.

I just finished watching Series 7: The Contenders which is an extremely macabre but remarkably funny satire of all the "reality" shows being mass produced these days. But instead of voting someone off the island, the goal of the game is to kill all your opponents. I was laughing my ass off.

Right now, I'm in the middle of A Clockwork Orange.

Ah, the beauty of absolutely meaningless violence. Maybe they should turn the bombing of Iraq into a reality TV show. I can see it now. The Real World: Baghdad.
