Blogs Meet Direct Mail (via Golby)

Mike Golby‘s entry explaining why he’s taking the night off from blogging is hilarious.

Similarly, his summary of my upcoming book is so profound that I can barely see through my tears as I type it in: “This is what happens when you suffuse The Big Red Button with Fucknozzle and build a world out of conversation.” Beautifully put, Mike. I’m just sorry it’s too late to put it on the cover.

But Mike’s not all fun and games. His reflections on racism and anti-semitism would carry great weight even if he were not speaking as an anti-apartheid white South African who can — and how exhilirating it is to be able to say this — speak from hope validated by experience. He says, for instance, “I’ve seen infinitely more people twisted, broken, or driven crazy by the hatred they carry within than I have people who’ve been crippled by any viciousness voiced.”

Then there’s Mike’s report on South Africa in fact and in the media… Aw, hell, I’m just going to blogroll him.
