My friend Andisheh from Creative Loafing is doubly cursed. Grasping irony is bad enough -- must he also have a sense of humor?
Andy's come under fire from a humorless literalist for including a prominent anti-war activist in his rundown of Atlanta's 11 Least Influential People.
Frankly, I think you and your publication owe Bobbie Paul an apology. Not only did you list her in a fool's gallery, but you did it in the context of an action that constitutes about 1% of her contribution to the progressive community.
Do you have a clue who this woman is, or know anything about WAND?
Why don't we just round out the list and put you as number 12? We could characterize you as the guy who likes to play writer.
You're fucked now, Wolfowitz, er, Andy. The "progressive community" don't play.
Of course he wasn't mocking Paul. Inclusion on the list is something of an honor.
But that doesn't matter to the terminally aggrieved likes of MelGX:
By the way, most of Bobbie's people are letter writers. By Monday, your box should be full.
(I wish I had "people." Write letters on my behalf, you!)
Mel reminds me of those who bitch whenever TIME magazine names someone like Hitler "Man (Person, Person, sorry, I meant Person) of the Year." Left or right, the professionally indignant are all the same.
