The Wire is God
Not that you asked, but this Sunday I am having a viewing party for the season premiere of The Wire. I recommend that those of you progressive folks who are all up in arms about this fraud being broadcast by ABC get together with someone who has HBO and watch The Wire. Besides getting in on what is among the best dramas ever produced for television, you can also register your discontent with the cultural politics implicit in ABC's 9/11 fakeudrama. You can't get father from that shit than the Wire.
On 9/11 itself I don't think I'll be watching anything, so that takes care of dissenting from fakeudrama Part 2. My man Jim is going to be in LA that night. Jim and I used to work together at Community Connect and although I believe he had already left for grad school that particular September, when he came back to NYC for the holidays we had numerous, completely freaked out drinks where we thought at length about the attacks, our lives, what we thought might be coming next. It will be good to see him.
