Dear Internet, you are the best/worst/best again thing to ever happen to me…

October 30th, 2007

Because, when you get right down to it, the internet is the only place/thing/invention to be able to really chronicle the sheer insane ridiculousness of the human race. I assume that humans have always been as fucked up as they are now, it’s just that, in the age of information, we are WAY more aware of it.

If the theatrical adaptation of a 2-bit action film starring 3-bit actors wasn’t enough to convince you, then please read this.

It’s a report about one group of Klan members protesting (as in actual, go out in the streets and march) another group of Klan members who, themselves, are doing a protest.

I realize I have a penchant for hyperbole, but I swear to GOD, that might be the most awesomest thing I’ve ever read on a news site.

I’m reminded of the film version of Kurt Vonnegut’s Mother Night and Frankie Faison’s portrayal of Robert Sterling Wilson the “black Fuehrer of Harlem.”

I really think there’s a story here, and I don’t mean the “reported” story. I mean a flesh and blood piece of fiction. Someone like Vonnegut could really do wonders with the idea of competing groups of racists protesting each other. Of course, I realize, a bit wistfully, that I am not the person to take said “facts” and turn them into fiction…

    One by one, they were all becoming shades. Better pass boldly into that other world, in the full glory of some passion, than fade and wither dismally with age. — James Joyce, Dubliners
