Over
at the LA Times (a.k.a. workfare for former reason employees) Andrew
Breitbart and David Ehrenstein have been debating "Hollywood
values" with a ferocity of thrashing and splashing not seen since
Shelly Winters made that ill-fated swim in The Poseidon

How to do this exchange justice? It is throwing off more heat and light than the explosion of a 1,000 suns. Don't stare directly into, lest you go blind. And like a bag of Lay's Potato Chips, I bet you can't eat just one snippet, such as this Roy Batty-like mesmerizing morsel:
I know your biracial homosexual bio perfecta trumps my humble multiculti checklist, but I did have a bitchin' Bar Mitzvah; I adore my Latina sister (we're both adopted); and I chose to go to college in New Orleans because I really liked Lisa Bonet in "Angel Heart." Isn't that enough not to have an embroidered scarlet KKK on my hooded sweatshirt?
