Don Rickles?

Sometimes I wonder
Die Tradition aller toten Geschlechter lastet wie ein Alp auf dem
Gehirne der Lebenden.* — Karl Marx
Owen alluded recently to my fondness for Doug Henwood’s Left Business
Observer and the mailing list associated with it, lbo-talk. I
cheerfully admit the charge, even though lbo-talk is certainly by far
the most irascible, uncivil, squabblesome e-mail list I have ever
seen — and that’s saying a lot. Doug himself has a listowner style
strongly reminiscent of Don Rickles. But I like it anyway — or
maybe, that’s why I like it. Too much damn civility and sensitivity
going around. Fuck ‘em if they can’t take a joke, as Jack Nicholson
says in some movie, I’ve forgotten which.
