I am sure Tim Russert was a fine fellow, father, husband, son, etc. But he was in the end not as significant as his sendoff implies. by Christopher Corbett Baltimore — (TFN): The death of the televisionarian Tim Russert has been easily the most spectacularly overplayed news story in the recent history of that not especially distinguished [...]

Clowns and Harlots: Village People

Christopher Corbett — Mon, 19 May 2008 13:02:10 +0000

Baltimore — (TFN): I do not have a deeply spiritual life but sometimes I begin to wonder if there might not indeed be a deity and if the hand of the Almighty might not move on occasion across the land smiting the wicked. I believe that we have seen this of late in the case [...]

Christopher Corbett — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 15:02:22 +0000

When he came on the scene in the 1950s, the conservative in America was not far removed from the swamp and the lynch mob. Fire-breathing Christians roamed the land. The earth was, indeed, flat.

Christopher Corbett’s Clowns & Harlots: A Zoo Story

Christopher Corbett — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 21:20:21 +0000

"I think the country would be best served if the zoos were closed. Shut them all down. They are expensive, archaic and – no pun intended – bestial.

American Media: Putting the “King” into Larry King Live

Christopher Corbett — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 22:20:16 +0000

“Larry King is the master of infotainment. He is the Walter Cronkite of infotainment. And that is a pretty scary thought. He looks old. He looks like a mortician does his makeup. Hell, the man has been on the air for more than half a century and been married seven times! But the man still [...]
