Comments on: Black, Jewish and Poor http://heavenandhere.wordpress.com/2008/02/17/black-jewish-and-poor/ Tweedy, impertinent notes on a criminal conspiracy. We bring you critical hogwash and weird conjecture regarding HBO's "The Wire."

I would go into how no post with mentions of a HENRY ROLLINS CAMEO should be taken so seriously, but whatever. I have no attachments to linear narrative structures and therefore don't find spoilers upsetting, but the baseness of this comment thread turns me the fuck off. If I write anything else for this BLOG ABOUT TELEVISION it will be closed to all comments except for this "anonymous" civic-minded commenter filling other threads with analysis of the western cannon and city procedure. I'm starting a new blog about A&E's Philadelphia parking cops reality show. ugh, I hadn’t checked this comment thread until Shoals told me about this wacky shit, but HONESTLY, could y’all be more small and vile?

Jesus christ, what a whiny bag of bitches. Same shit happened to me in season 4 with Bodie. It sucks, I agree...but you're gonna wrap it all up with 2 (technically 3 since you haven't had a ep8 recap) episodes left in the season? Shame...this was the best blog I'd found for discussion. Welp - I'm out, have fun moping around and letting the spoiler win you fuckin pussies. You ain't real police.

But, additionally, any post AFTER the open thread that is still focused on the previous episode (i.e. this one) should clearly state (in bold, CAPS, whatever) that this is not for the newest episode discussion.

Gives people who've seen the new ep an outlet to talk about it before a proper post goes up and makes avoiding it easy for those who want to.

Even though it's unlikely to have been written with Obama in mind - it's a real American character type generated by the real political system. The idealist (or at least one who portrays himself as an idealist and at least sometimes believes his own hype) driven by ambition (and who can fool themselves that if they weren't so ambitious someone less idealistic would get to the governor's mansion), who once in power finds themselves filling a role and pulled this way and that by politico-economic forces they cannot control.
