No Hope for the Future

"But if you're going every single meal you're a disgusting piece of crap." - Marty Beckerman

Rebecca Traister's interview with another angry young man without anything meaningful to contribute is baffling. Did Salon suddenly cozy up with the Christian Right to share this swill with your readers? I've got a short stack of composition books full of angst, sexual frustration and fantasy, but I don't drop Dave Barry's name once, so I guess they're going to remain dust-collectors.

Oh, wait, they're just well-phrased juvenile bitchfests. Apparently, there's a market for that.

If Mr. Beckerman hadn't admitted to having a girlfriend he "fucks," I would have recommended chronic masturbation and perhaps amateur alcoholism as a means to lightening the fuck up.

While he may not be the old fogey on the golf course, he certainly seems to play one on TV. Get that whippersnapper off of my lawn.

My question is (and rhetorical at that)....

Who the fuck cares!?!?!? That piece has to be noted as the worst piece of absolutely meaningless fluff I've ever read.

I love reading your essays and diatribes. They surpase this slugs drivel...feh. At least you have wit, and sarcasm is a plus in my book.. :)

I hate that they get you into the beginning of the article then try and make you PAY to read the rest. I can't be bothered with this free trial nonsense!

And that kid thinks who the fuck he is.

well, the free trial thing is a once-a-day nuisance. usually three or four clicks, which i tend to ignore.

but, yeah. . . come off it, kid. "i always wanted to have a novel published, and now i'm going to israel & the west bank & gaza strip so i can write a story about a young jewish american guy in these places."

which i think will get him an angelsil-sized boot up the ass.

I started reading it, and ended up skimming and scrolling to the link back to the main page by the end. Bah.

These "telling it like it 'really' is in hs" deals -- one's a diary or novel or something by a teenage girl with a number of gay male friends where she's just so edgy -- trend, capitalizing on the sensationalization of teen sex, and the belief that it hasn't been going on all along.

He's a narcissistic twit publishing tripe. Where will he be in ten years? Certainly not the toast of any town, I'm sure. Flash in the pan.

Oh, Angry Young Men are always hip. Even if they aren't particularly articulate. Salon knows this.

At least it's not yet another article about how laid off tech-sector bigwigs in San Francisco, not one of whom seems to have understood the concept of saving for future emergencies, can't seem to find another job that matches their former six-figure salaries. Boo-friggin'-hoo.

F-listing now, since you seem to be everywhere. :)
