Hi everybody! I just wanted to let you know that a girl in my class just invited me to her house on Penny Lane for dinner Thursday night, and although I haven't asked her yet, I wanted to invite all you to come! So if you're not doing anything Thursday night, you should come over - we will probably do the usual party stuff, like sit around and talk about how great it is to be friends! More details later!


oh, and we will probably be taking some mescaline as well

Hi, I’m Lorne Michaels, the producer of Saturday Night. Right now, we’re being seen by approximately
22 million viewers, but please allow me, if I may, to address myself to just four very special people



—John, Paul, George, and Ringo—the Beatles: Lately there have been a lot of rumors to the effect









that the four of you might be getting back together. That would be great. In my book, the Beatles










are the best thing that ever happened to music. It goes even deeper than that—you’re not just a






musical group, you’re a part of us. We grew up with you.

It’s for this reason that I am inviting you to come on our show. Now, we’ve heard and read a lot about personality and legal conflicts that might prevent you guys from reuniting. That’s something which is none of my business. That’s a personal problem. You guys will have to handle that. But it’s also been said that no one has yet to come up with enough money to satisy you. Well, if it’s money you want, there’s no problem here.

The National Broadcasting Company has authorized me to offer you this check to be on our show—a certified check for $3,000. Here it is right here. A check made out to you, the Beatles, for $3,000. All you have to do is sing three Beatles songs. “She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah.” That’s $1,000 right there. You know the words—it’ll be easy.

Like I said, this is made out to the Beatles—you divide it up any way you want. If you want to give less to Ringo, that’s up to you—I’d rather not get involved. I’m sincere about this. If this helps you to reach a decision to reunite, it’s well worth the investment. You have agents—you know where I can be reached. Just think about it, okay? Thank you.

“You can tell him by the liberties he takes with common sense, by his flashes of inspiration, and by the fact that sooner or later he brings up the Templars.”

So, right: the default response to a post from John C. Wright, then, turns out to be exactly the











same as the default punchline to a New Yorker cartoon. (—And I have to keep reminding myself: this is from the intellectual end of the rump.)
Little things.

It’s not the sum total of what I’ve been up to, or where I’ve been, but I can’t stop listening to this ever since Joshin pointed it out. —I mean, I’ve also been writing, and I haven’t read a news feed in, what is it, three weeks? Four? Something’s happening, I’m just not sure what.
Important events, and important ideas.

Oodles of channels of 24-hour news, moldering reams of newspapers that will not die, 127 goddamn feeds in my goddamn Google newsreader, and I’m only now finding out that Utah Phillips died sometime last year? —Somebody’s priorities are way the hell out of whack.

Utah Phillips; 5/15/1935 - 5/23/2008.

It’s not so hard to be politically correct. All you have to do is not be an asshole.













“‘I think that Nabokov often tries to be inhumanly secure, and confident, and happy, and unregretful,’ Wood observes. ‘If he pulled that off, he would be a monster. It’s a fine thing to try—and an even finer thing to fail.’” —Lev Grossman, “The gay Nabokov”
Magnificently shaggy.

The new Dresden Codak strip is, as they say, a thing. A hell of a thing.

The hairs of my chin bristle as I repeat it, silently—














Autumn Fugue

A book was sometimes held in your hand
when the Committee on Understanding met
as you waited for them to call you in
& the man who mowed the graveyard
waved with a circular wave
in the manner of cousins under the elm
where it seemed sweet spices
had been cast down near accordion streets
so once the small democracies
had begun, time could make an exception
for owls with the faces of seeds
that looked just like themselves only open;











it is late & sweet with a late
democratic sweetness when seeds
had been cast down in the manner of
spices, where once the small committees
had begun, time played accordion
with its foot in the door, & you felt
at ease in a circular way
so even had the parties called your name
you would not have been wrong;
the elms had made an exception
& a book was sometimes found in your hand
that looked just like itself, only open—

For DY
