"The Dutch tend often to be well-informed about the fate of other nations, this does not work the other way round, because of language problems and the disinterest of many Dutch in communicating their own society to outsiders." from the blog of tjebbe van tijen, an excellent and erudite summing up of the rise and fall of fortuyn and dutch politics. van tijen is a legendary figure, an intellectual giant and a renaissance man, i knew him briefly in the late seventies. - joh

Imagine if Annie Hall had been forgotten in a Ziploc bag under your couch cushions and left there for 30 years. By the time you pulled out the bag, Alvy Singer's endearing misanthropy would have decomposed into its constituent elements of vanity and contempt, and Annie's charming naiveté would have curdled into ditzy cuteness. The New York City that once seemed like a living, breathing entity would be a desiccated and barely recognizable skeleton. In short, you wouldn't be able to get the contents of that baggie to the trash can fast enough. That's basically the experience of watching Woody Allen's latest comedy, Whatever Works. - joh
