I've really grown tired of arguing in "Free Your Mind," but, for the life of me, I cannot stop arguing. I'm never one to back out in the middle of an argument, so I'm hoping to finish things up soon and back off for a while.
I really love "GOP-Controlled Whortense." She is probably my favorite Whortense of them all; she combines the political irony of Mr. MacPhisto with the naive arrogance and condescending elitism of Hyacinth Bucket from BBC's "Keeping Up Appearances." I really want to write my own TV show one of these days...

"He had lived through an age when men and women with energy and ruthlessness but without much ability or persistence excelled. And even though most of them had gone under, their ignorance had confused Roy, making him wonder whether the things he had striven to learn, and thought of as 'culture,' were irrelevant. Everything was supposed to be the same: commercials, Beethoven's late quartets, pop records, shopfronts, Freud, multi-coloured hair. Greatness, comparison, value, depth: gone, gone, gone. Anything could give some pleasure; he saw that. But not everything provided the sustenance of a deeper understanding." - Hanif Kureishi, Love in a Blue Time
