Borat, Art, and the Eye of the Beholder
Borat: “I do a picture, only small, of the Tishnik Masacre. Where many Uzbeks…crushed!”
Kindly Gray Hippie: “How did you feel when you drew this?”
Borat: “Very proud!”.
KGH: “I’m just listening with sadness…a little sadness for your people…?”
Borat: “Yes…no, it is not sad. It is us who do the kill!”
When in doubt, consult the classics [5:30 mark].

Our intrepid commenter A Teacher tells the story of how he published his NaNoWriMo book (and, of course, tells us how we can get a copy of it for ourselves). ( 1 comments)
Nobel Peace Prize Jury Faces Formal Inquiry
Read the story here. Here’s the paragraph that would make clicking through worthwhile, if you’re still undecided:

I told you we needed more hot chicks. ;) or is it ;(

I can’t cry for laughing. We’re doomed!
Erin Andrews?
Come on, you know you want to link to it while calling the rest of us netroot horde nihilists with no moral clarity. Then again, I don’t think the type of scumbag that would do that sort of thing exists so you’re all in the clear.
Well, I did consider completely whoring out this blog to “cover” that story, but hey, who has the time?
So, should the Pinstripe Posse make more appearances to ridicule vapid blogging? Or should this be a one-time affair?
How could you even suggest this be a one time affair? Bring ‘em back!
Yes. Please do so. You have the sense of subtlety that I don’t. The targets of your ridicule won’t know what has happened until it’s too late. As for me, I tend to telegraph my punches a little more but it doesn’t stop me from landing them.
Probably because it takes so long to interpret morse code. You punch them before they can read your cable.
