Chewin in the Chung

No blogging until I finish my Taichung Voice article for the September issue, which is as of this morning 13 days overdue. Don't miss it, as it promises to be the most stultifyingly boring thing ever put into print.

In the meantime, I ran across this commentary on the Serenity movie:

The upshot: a capitalistic freebooter opposes the egalitarian - democratic - "Parliament." It's übermenschy representative - a barely updated version of the HG Wellsian fascistic types parodied in Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow - is beyond good and evil in his pursuit of a utopian world.

"übermenschy representative"? "Fascistic"? God, and I thought I was pretentious. Somebody please smack that guy.
