Posted by Brockman, August 4th, 2009 No CommentsFiled under:Book News. Vice, Vice, Baby: Thomas Pynchon's new novel, Inherent Vice, hits stores (and eBooks, I guess) today. To say reviews are mixed is an understatement. While Publishers Weekly says Pynchon's fans "will know it for the throwaway masterwork it is" and Booklist gives it a starred review — "a bawdy, hilarious, and compassionate electric-acid-noir satire spiked with passages of startling beauty" — Kirkus offers some back-handed pr

London Evening Standard relaunched: 78 year-old man in rescue mission - (USA)
As a celebrant of elderliness, Madame Arcati has decided to reverse her previous toxic opinion of editor Geordie Greig in the light of his new London Evening Standard relaunched today. For at the apex of the neo-goodies on display is Tom Wolfe, 78, messiah of the not-so-New Journalism, and author of a lengthy "world exclusive" for the paper titled The rich have feelings too... - a showcase of Wolfe's schtick - the italics, the capitals, the pastiche demotic, the love letter dressed up as sa

Dataset of the Day: Banks: Too Big and Not that Big to Fail - (USA)
One of the major news stories of the last week was the much anticipated release by the U.S. Treasury of the Stress Test results . Officially known as the “ Supervisory Capital Assessment Program ,” SCAP for short is crammed with tables, charts and other financial arcana too far removed from the commonplace utterances of daily life. Although media tried , all one could get from the massive coverage was the impression that the participant banks bargained hard with the regulators so that n

Comforting Myths about Gun Control - (USA)
There are certain comforting myths that the gun-control movement likes to promote. “Mandatory gun registration would help us solve gun crimes” is a big one. Perhaps the most comforting — and dangerous — of all is: “Give the robber what he wants, and he probably won’t hurt you.”This news story from Atlanta is valuable for a number of reasons (emphasis mine):

Political Satire - America's Presidential Election Coverage Is Biased And Steeped In Stupidity - (USA)
By Ed Bagley Those of us who have suspected that the media coverage of the 2008 Presidential Race has not been fair now have a study to validate our suspicions. The Center for Media and Public Affairs spent the past two months monitoring comments by sources, voters, reporters and anchors that aired on evening newscasts at America's three main national networks (ABC, CBS and NBC) and documented what many of us already knew.

A Gathering of Links - (USA)
So why would TAG blog talk about the recently departed John Hughes? When he was a live-action legend? The Examiner explains :. Although John Hughes was not an animation icon per se, his career certainly crossed paths with the genre. And those encounters definitely deserve mention here ... Hughes’ career started as a writer for National Lampoon. National Lampoon Productions was the distributor of the 2003 animated classic Jake’s Booty Call, produced by former Disney topper Michael Eisn

South Carolina passed a law this month allowing it to become the first state in the nation to offer its citizens specialty license plates that carry a Christian message. Adorned with a stained-glass window, a cross and the words "I Believe," the plates are already inciting protests from, among others, the American Civil Liberties Union and the American Jewish Congress; and Americans United for Separation of Church and State filed a lawsuit Thursday.

“Comics is changing . Behind the drawing table, people who would have been content splashing about in other fields a decade ago are swimming to comics’ deep end without even taking a breath. And on the drawing table, there’s a growing understanding of comics’ power to relate emotion, POV, and the warp and weave of memory. The compact, literal, rat-a-tat of post-Kirby mainstream storytelling that I started out reading is finally giving away to something far deeper, stranger, and potent

Shepard Fairey x Barack Obama Retrospective - (USA)
As you’d have to have lived under a rock on the moon not to be aware already, Shepard Fairey took it upon himself to create an image of Barack Obama during the 2008 USA presidential election season. As you might also know, that image was made into several prints, banners, shirts, anything you can print on, the most influential of which was the HOPE poster. Since the first Obama image Shepard Fariey created, there’s been a whole big bunch of events and images worth noting between the two. Below y
