Did you know we're responsible for the fall of civilization?
So, New Yorker film critic David Denby wrote a book called Snark: It's Mean, It's Personal, and It's Ruining Our Conversation. Tell us how you really feel, David. Or even better - how about everyone else telling us how they really feel?

(NEWSFLASH: Keith Olbermann NOT snarky. Film at 11.)

In the book, I discuss how when people spoke about him during the campaign, I felt like much of the conversation was in coded racist insults. When people said he was Muslim, people were really talking about race. But racial prejudice is not something anyone can openly admit anymore. Snark is the antidote for "We don't want black people here, but we're not going to say that." I was worried he wouldn't win, and it turned out I was wrong. So many people protected our Democratic prince.

Wait... so your last sentence in this paragraph isn't snark? Seriously? Wow.
