Paris On Rails

New Year's Eve 2008

What’s everyone doing? I have no plans. As always, I don’t know what I’m looking for, but I’ll know when I hear it.

Convince me I need to go to the city tonight

Cause I’m told I should be in the city when the Phillies win the world series. And that may very well happen tonight, what with Hamels pitching and the big bats waking up. It all sounds very exciting. But I’m also not particularly fond of large, stupid, drunken crowds. The whole human-zoo factor makes my skin crawl. But then again, the electricity and excitement of a large mass of people all pumped for the same reason can be unparalleled. But then AGAIN, I have a lot of freelance work to get done and the three hours before the game at home would help. But then AGAINNNNN, will I regret having missed such an event to work?

Ugh.

Decisions. Help me.

Wisdom

The point of public relations slogans like “Support our troops” is that they don’t mean anything… That’s the whole point of good propaganda. You want to create a slogan that nobody’s going to be against, and everybody’s going to be for. Nobody knows what it means, because it doesn’t mean anything. Its crucial value is that it diverts your attention from a question that does mean something: Do you support our policy? That’s the one you’re not allowed to talk about.

About The Scrabbled

The Scrabbled is a group of people blogging about and linking to all manner of things. Usually we argue and make fun of each other. Everybody knows everybody through somebody so there are no strangers here. Most of us have even met in real life! If you happen to personally know someone here and would like to start arguing with and/or making fun of someone, shoot John an email and ask to sign up. Otherwise, you're just going to have to read in relative silence. Sorry.
