Well his name, his height, his seeming pettiness, his secret agendas. And I didn't pick up on it either, but if someone points it out, it does seem more than a little possible that it was the intent. But I have to run, so I may have more to say about it after thinking it over.

Okay. Wait. You wrote "secret". I read it as "sexual," more than once. I was all, "The Jewish people allegedly have a sexual agenda? Go them." This is a sign. I need to shut off the PC.

He's short, he's dark, he's unattractive, he's pushy, and he behaves badly once he is given power.

A) I hate the world

B) I would have missed the behaves badly once in power thing. I wasn't familiar with that as a type.

My sex mistake aside (oh would that it were for all of them), what is--according to the racists--the secret Jewish Agenda? Is this why the skinhead types are always talking about Jewish people in banking and the media?

Taking over the world, pretty much. The implication usually seems to be not being anyone who actually seems to have power (President, Prime Minister, etc.), but running the banks and the media and having all the political advisory roles, to be able to run everything from behind the scenes.

Yep.

Which is so stupid because everyone knows the Dutch secretly run the world.

Same thing it always is, Pinky!

Which Codrescu are you reading, Betsy? I read a lot of his stuff some years ago (living in Romania, hanging with friends of his), but the last I read was The Bloody Countess which I really didn't care for. Probably unfairly, as I'd been working on my own thing about Elizabeth Bathory at the time and his was not at all what was in my head.

Somebody referred to The Muse Is Always Half-Dressed In New Orleans upthread. I haven't read any of his fiction.

Hey, Andrej Codrescu (spelled wrong, I'm sure) is fun to read.

That would be me. You've read it Betsy? I just started. I stole it from mom's house. She can have it back when I get my Maus's back. Of course, I can have those when she gets her Don Quixote back, which I will gladly give her when I can have my Wodehouse etc.etc.

I never got around to reading Maus. Has anybody read the new one, In The Shadow of the Towers?

Taking over the world, pretty much.

If you take over the world, will you Hil, as spokesmodel for the Jewish people, promise to do a better job running it than the Un-Jewish have been doing?

Oh, man. Are they going to get a piece of my mind. For one thing, now I have to stop blaming Canada (well, except for those Canadians of Dutch heritage, I suppose).

Why don't any of their three Ks stand for Krazy, again?

My co-worker hasn't read the whole thing, but he's seen panels/pages from it, and says it's pretty powerful.
