Another Manhattan Art Critic's Post

Posted by Bill

Instapundit is an orgy of minimalism bereft of minimal titillation, unending spareness without satisfaction or ultimate redemption. Reynolds' spartan renderings shroud shocking banality in a smooth silken cloak of enigmatic genius that teases us with bright glimpses of the true enlightenment found in a child's scream or a clown's tear - a real tear, lying nearly unseen above the painted tear.

Give us the answers, Professor. Give us the key! But no. It is all a teasing game to you ... a puzzle ... for beyond the sticky yet offish web of "heh's" and "indeeds" lies the secret of humanity itself. I can smell it beyond your wall. It smells like cookie dough.

I will not read the whole thing and you cannot make me.

Wow, Goldstein's really pushed you over the edge!

"Over the edge?" Over the edge with frustration about the imepentrable morass of Glenn Reynolds' GENIUS and delightedly cruel taunts, I am!

It is the most "beautiful atrocity" of them all.

Oh my GOD, this is a serious blogger meltdown, right here, right now!

The technical term you are searching for is "diarrhea blogging."

Genius? you must be joking.

Did you ever consider Reynolds is minimalist because there just isn't much there?

Our nickname for him is "Perfect C," as in the bell curve. Or, perhaps, "ABC," as in the Apogee of the Bell Curve.

The secret of humanity itself? Get a grip.

Looks like someone didn't take their silly irony pill this morning ...

Read the whole thing, Bill.

Noooooooooooooooooooo!

Okay, that clown is disturbing.

Posted by: Noah D at November 16, 2004 10:44 PM

Yes! I agree. Glenn's genius is there only for the MOCKING of those who are unable to see through the ephemeral sheen that colors all that our deceiving senses can apprehend!

Color. Texture. Odor. SENSATION ITSELF!

Therefore I shall light a cigarette and spit mockingly in retribution for his sadistic genius! And I shall also tremble and shake as I take my second puff...

Zut alors!

Holy sh*t!

P.S. That Goldstein guy? M'eh. He's alright, I guess... :-)

One of my blogging goals has always been to reach "alright, I guess" status.

Mission accomplished!
