Mausy Criticism

[Jesse Wick]

2 things:

1. My father tells me he saw a TeeVee interview (I don't know where, this is 
hearsay) with Schindler's widow... seems SHE was the one who was working 
feverishly to save Jews from Auschwitz, and he helped her mainly by pretending 
not to notice. Needless to say she was not 100% thrilled with his canonization 
in the movie. (According to pops, that is.) Hmmm...

2. Doesn't anyone find it ironic that the Ford Motor Co. was the sponsor of 
this special TeeVee event? Don't have to tell you P-listers about the 
"Protocols of the Elders of Zion" -- you'll remember it from V. Henry Sr. also 
managed to turn the community paper in Dearborn (home of Ford world HQ) into 
an anti-Semitic propaganda rag for a few years back in the 20s or 30s.

ps-- Either or both of these may have already been mentioned; I haven't been 
able to check email for about 2 weeks and frankly didn't have the heart to 
read all 602 (literally) messages in my inbox. Sorry if I'm repeating old 
news.

Look, I don't know nothing about the nature of the Covenant, but I do know
that if you defend Schindler's List you come back in the next life as a Sea
Apple.

For all who prefer not to have their fascist subconscious rendered unto them
by the Ford Motor Co., check out "The Night Porter" at your local video bank.

Viddy the truly spiritual scene in the medical ward, as the two homosexuals
desperately fuck to the luxuriant score, watched intently--as though at a
concert--by their ward-mates.
