we shouldn't blame jason. we should blame ourselves.

Jason Kottke, on his weblog.

Before reading this interview, I didn't know much about [Cormac] McCarthy -- he's a fellow at the Santa Fe Institute? -- but now I think I need to read The Road.

If this truly is the first time that Jason mothereffin Kottke has been interested in Cormac McCarthy than WE HAVE FAILED AS A NATION.

But McCarthy is a MacArthur Fellow! That's the program that was *specifically created* to bring talented people to the attention of the Jason Kottke Weblog. What more can we do?

McCarthy is 20 times the writer that whassisname, Infinite Jest dude, is. How can I trust Kottke's links now?

[Michael Sippey]

@mike -- you can't trust him. in fact, i'm starting to reassess how i ever trusted him to begin with.

I still have nightmares inspired by Blood Meridian. And now, due to this blog post, I won't be able to stop thinking about marauding gangs and scalped innocents. Thanks.
