honest, I really like Anselm Berrigan, and not because he chose his parents well, but this column seems awfully smarmy in a oddly bland way. Anselm Berrigan shouldn't be smarmy. I'm sure the memo went out about this. Kasey Mohammad shouldn't be smarmy either, yet his description of recent travels sounds like John Kerry on a bad day. I want to read Alli Warren's work despite what Kasey says. I feel punk ass to be calling these people out, but I don't mind expecting the best. they seem to be playing to their audience. the audience is not worth bowing to, something else is. I am disappointed in both of these writers. let them try to be disappointed with me.
