Cripple Fight in Libya*

Go After Qaddafi by Hitchens

Finish the Job by James M. Dubik
--------------------
*I just finished reading a Jonathan Lethem book about John Carpenter's film "They Live" which contains the endless fight scene between "Rowdy" Roddy Piper and Keith David upon which South Park's "Cripple Fight" between Timmy and Jimmy was based. It's a brilliant book which touches upon Slavoj Zizek, Harry Dean Stanton, "Repo Man," Mike Judge's "Idiocracy," Alfred Hitchcock, Milan Kundera, Philip K. Dick, South Park, Stanley Kubrik, Roland Barthes's "Mythologies," Pauline Kael, Frances McDormand, and the Coen brothers' "Fargo" among other things.
