Here it is, the further disintegration of Western Civilization (although most who engage in its most popular practices are unable to define what exactly is that thing they are destroying, namely "Western Civilization"), this time by me, as I post my FaceBook "badge" on my blog. Cuz, u know, FB is ezr - writing cogent essays, paragraphs, satire takes actual thought.
Take a real writer, like New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd. I read yesterday's column (you guessed it - airplane reading: Chicago to L.A.), thinking, "Reading the Op/Ed section of the "Times" means I am holding in my hands pure evidence that society is still intact. Dowd's column, however, bemoaning the evils of "Twitter" was just another reminder of the flames that seem to be engulfing us as we speak (if any of us actually does "speak" anymore; I was told yesterday of one 18-year-old freely admitting to a friend that he had sent "13,000 texts last month," and that indeed, he only uses his phone for veritable conversation "once or twice, to talk to [his] mom.")
So here it is, if these SEN-TEN-CES, PAR-A-GRAPHS, God forbid I use the word "ES-SAYS" are too much for you, please check out the even less interesting and even worse-written (are these things possible?! You must find out!), check out my Facebook page.
BFN!
