Alan Westrope notes:
"ReDepp: designer Issac Mizrahi sez, "If anyone gets the whole deconstructive
thing, it's Johnny Depp." Hmmmm...is Depp to be published in PMLA? Will
he apply deconstructionist acting methods to his HST portrayal?
Other gems: TV Guide blurb for a cable TV special, The Burger & The King:
"Presley's tragic diet is deconstructed."
Boston Globe explains Lamar Alexander's "deconstructionist approach to
federal government."
NY Times reviews a cookbook that "deconstructs 50 classic pies."
Norfolk, VA paper writes that a boxer "deconstructs professional fighters
the way a 4-year-old deconstructs a bowlful of cholocate ice cream.""
And there's Jane Smiley's MOO, which not only has a governor who hates the
state university because "It's full of Deconstructionists," but has a
chapter on the demolition of a building, titled, inevitably, "Deconstruction."
But I won't tell you what happens when the Deconstruction proceeds.
In fact, consider this entire post "sous erasure."
But aren't they all!
