Inma Junco Junco من عند نيويورك من عند نيويورك

هذا هو المكان الذي يلتقي فيه المرض العقلي وتعاطي المخدرات مع ولادة الرسوم المتحركة. هذا هو المكان الذي تدفع فيه شخصيات الرسوم المتحركة بالأبيض والأسود المحببة النساء إلى الخروج من النوافذ المفتوحة في حفلات أعياد الميلاد. كيم ديتش هو عبقري.

Translating...

Good read. (hahaha) It's brief, and includes some wonderful discussion of connections between right wing religio-political fanatacism and government politics/policy. Goldberg's concern in not wanting to sound alarmist doesn't quite translate into her analysis. But then again, it's difficult not to sound alarmist when legal precedents you hold near and dear can now so easily be overturned in the Supreme and federal courts. But this book is NO conspiracy theory! Personally, I love the mention of Ohio evangelicals (Rod Parsley amongst them) whose names I recognize from childhood. Parsely was the butt of many memorable high school jokes. And I'm sure his new source of funding beautifuly garnishes his salary. (buh dum dum ching!) On the serious side, I wasn't clued into (and I'm sure many people outside of the evangelical an non-profit communities aren't either) the overhaul in the federal funding for non-profit charities and humanitarian organizations. Outside of Megalopolis few people hear about the effects of policy changes. Regional papers and newscasts bury those stories buried beneath numerous local and regional deaths, scandals and misappropriations. All of those stories simply carry more immediate weight, regardless of importance to the community. That organizations (churches!) such as Parsely's now receive millions in federal funding for proselityzing is information that just gets lost beneath too many other disturbing headlines. Regardless of politics, it's a book that can set minds ticking on a subject that's been forgotten.
