"Come to the edge."
"We can't. We're afraid."
"Come to the edge."
"We can't. We will fall!"
"Come to the edge."
And they came.
And he pushed them.
And they flew.

written by Christopher Logue, a British poet, about Guillaume Apollinaire.

You're so vain, you probably think this blog is about you You're so vain, Ill bet you think this blog is about you - Don't you? Don't you?

Reading my Vanity Fair this month:

the Miley Cyrus photos are so not a big deal and frankly, I think it's interesting that folks want to talk about her bare back (not even to her waist) more than the photo of her and her father that look more like lovers in pose than father/child

ANYWAY

John Cusack was already cool in my book - but after reading his questionnaire - I'm even more impressed - check his answers to these two questions - I found them quite eloquent and intelligent:

What living person do you most despite?

"They exist in the realm of war profiteers. These men and women are the lowest form of human consciousness, truly and completely spiritually fucked. There is an amazing satanic dance: create a new market with war, bar competition from the aftermath, then pay your own companies at cost plus basis, which guarantees profits, all at the taxpayers' expense. They are the biggest welfare freaks on the planet."

Who are your heroes in real life?

"Let's go with Jesus. Not the gay-hating, war-making political tool of the right, but the outcast, subversive, supreme adept who preferred the freaks and lepers and despised and doomed to the rich and powerful. The man Gary Wills descries "with the future in his eyes...paradoxically calming and provoking," and whom Flannery O'Connor saw as "the ragged figure who moves from tree to tree in the back of one's mind."

**swoon**

Intelligence is so hot.
