i get the n y times sub-premiun content by email every day but i usually buy the sunday edition just to have the artifact in my hands and to get a fuller feel for what the paper of record thinks is important in the late empire beyond providing a pulpit for that fool friedman...besides the normal abundance of advertizing this week's edition has the "style" magazine with the aged mick jagger leering form the cover...190 glossy pages of advertizing and idolatry for the likes of old mick, the kardshians, the jenners, corice arman, maggie gyllenhaal, and an article about julian assagne by mafia maven misha glenny whose ponderous "the balkans" set the craft of southeastern european history back a generation...and the whole thing positively reeks of an yves saint laurent scent sample called, unless someone is kidding, " la nuit de l'homme"...i am weary of the consumerist utopia passing itself off as news/entertainment/culture...there has to be a way to transcend this that does not involve a retreat to a hermitage or into the arms of the clergy...some shred of a culture out there that does not judge people with a grossly materialist or pietistic yardstick...going by the times you'd have to think that this is a pipe dream but i haven't done any of that in years...i refuse to stop looking...fuck these people.
