Uninformed Consent

Geez, I do one Advise and Consent post, and a couple of days later the same novel and film become the subject of an article by one of the New York Times' most repetitive columnists, and a follow-up post by the worst blog in the history of mankind. I know I had nothing to do with this, but I almost feel like I should apologize anyway for raising the subject 'cause now it seems so hackneyed already.
