bush knocked down the towers:
 So my friend Sue is trying out for a rollerderby team in Baltimore. A simple inquiry about the best rollerderby aliases -- hers is Chemical Allie -- led to an interesting cultural observation:Spencer AckermanThat woman would be burned at the stake as few as, oh, four years ago. Meanwhile, Jadakiss, who famously asked why Bush knocked down the towers, recently unveiled his new mixtape persona, Al Qaeda Jada. Two points is a trend. So what's going on here? My guess is that the Jedi mind trick telling us that Al Qaeda is the instantiation of an almost-primordial evil -- that it's less a jihadist entity than a metaphysical presence -- is wearing off. Which is to the better, when you think about it: we can focus on eliminating Al Qaeda without miscalculation. Bush's approach told us that we'll always have them with us, which is just a different form of defeatism. Fuck Al Qaeda. Let's laugh at those motherfuckers. --Spencer Ackerman
Remember that business a couple of years ago, where a group of high school musicians (I think it was) tried to call themselves The Taliband, and got smacked down by their school? Seems more likely they would get away with it today. |
