On We Are More Excited about Girl Talk on Everything than the Beatles on iTunes
I just thought it was really funny how he mentioned in passing the death of the canon, and then proceeded to assume that Girl Talk is the new canon, which we all were talking about and downloading as soon as it came out.

Not surprising at all. There are gun shows scheduled to take place in Houston every month between Nov 2010 and Jun 2011. EVERY SINGLE MONTH. At the 2 million sq. ft. George R. Brown Convention Center.

On Sympathy for the Bullies: Our New Villains
Mike, you are all over the place and I am afraid I am not quite getting your point. I think you are reading too much into the current attitude towards bullies. I am glad that bullies are supposedly not tolerated in school districts now (I say supposedly because of cases like Asher Brown's), and that does not mean we are naive or unaware of how vile kids can be to each other.
Not every unpleasant exchange between kids in school is an instance of bullying. But when someone gets beaten up and mercilessly harassed, then it's a good thing for school authorities to take a stand. We do not tolerate this kind of behavior outside of school, why should we just look at it as a school rite of passage, which is what you seem to be implying between the lines? Do we need bullies to build character? Hell, no.
