Comments

  1. Lady Mondegreen says

    Very disappointed in Sharlet.

    Don’t see Rebecca Solnit’s name there. Maybe she got some sense talked into her?

  2. Pierce R. Butler says

    A mere 145 now – the banquet boycotters may not take over the planet after all…

  3. DukeOfOmnium says

    Very disappointed in Wallace Shawn. I may never be able to say “Inconceivable!” again.

  4. Lady Mondegreen says

    Good lord. I just read (on Wikipedia) selections from Eisenberg’s exchange with Suzanne Nossel. They’re appalling.

    [she said the Charlie Hebdo journalists and cartoonists]…expended their courage, and ten of them lost their lives, in what was essentially a parochial, irrelevant, misconceived, misdirected, relatively trivial, and more or less obsolete campaign against clericalism.

    As Eisenberg put it in her original letter, the Charlie Hebdo award appears to be “an opportunistic exploitation of the horrible murders in Paris to justify and glorify offensive material expressing anti-Islamic and nationalistic sentiments already widely shared in the Western world.”

    Taking a stand based on such staggering ignorance is immoral.

  5. Pierce R. Butler says

    James Wolcott takes a pox-on-both-their-houses stance.

    His quotation from Eisenberg reveals even more of her clue-phobia:

    What about the racist chapters of SAE and other fraternities right here in our own country? I would say that they meet the criteria.
