A failing body is a battleground for antibodies and infections. The plight of the Chicago Tribune, the once-vital Gray Lady of Lake Michigan, is a case of the antibodies being too depleted in the face of overwhelming invasion. It’s also a fairly clear case of looting in the guise of medical triage, or missionary work as a front for conquest.

All across the United Kingdom this morning work stopped and daily routines were forgotten as news began to break that unbelievable prick Piers Morgan was lined up to replace incredible asshole Larry King in the 9pm slot on CNN. Brightly colored bunting was hung out and banners expressing undiluted joy were hurriedly painted, as tables laden with party snacks and alcohol were laid out in the streets in every town and city across the land while practically every member of the population started celebrating the loss of Piers Morgan to America.

CILANTRO: It is the Devil’s Weed. It corrupts everything it touches. My friend CW has attempted to tell me that I have some kind of “genetic disorder” of which the distaste for cilantro is symptomatic. ALLEGEDLY, just as the ability to smell asparagus in your urine or cyanide in general is genetic, your taste (or lack thereof) for cilantro is genetic. Some people like it, some people think it tastes like soap. Here’s the thing: I don’t think it tastes like soap. I know exactly what it tastes like. It tastes like moldy sunshine, and it is an abomination. My genetics are fine; your gross, herbal scourge is fucked up.

We Americans are not particularly noted for our civility and decorum. As travelers abroad we are considered loud and rude.
We respect “straight shooters” in conversation and don’t much care for those who “beat around the bush.” (Read the sexual politics into that sentence as you wish.)
But we still try to pay some lip service to the idea of just being polite if only for the sake of our mothers.
