Ernest Hemingway
"Popular culture is the new Babylon, into which so much art and intellect now flow. It is our imperial sex theater, supreme temple of the western eye. We live in the age of idols. The pagan past, never dead, flames again in our mystic hierarchies of stardom."
- Camille Paglia (aiwassclub)

saturninefilms: You people make me sick to my stomach sometimes.
The Republican party started this New York mosque issue to hide the fact that health care for the 9/11 first responders continues to be denied. So while you’re busy worrying about complete non-issues, there are heroic people in that same city with crippling diseases that actually deserve riots in their name. Instead, you idiots watch Fox news and get upset about whatever they tell you to.
