The Christian Right has a field day with us god-forsaken doubters of the Monotheistic Deity scurrying about the Left, but somewhere amidst the pro-euphemism rallies, xenophobia and Islam-bashing, they have let a vital part of their heritage go up in flames. Hey guys, there're still pagans.
Yep. Over a billion, and some of them are making your cellphones.
In the midst of all the turmoil of the post-post-modern era - a time when worship in most of this country revolves around ritual politician harassment at at least a third degree of punditry (including the always fashionable pulpit-pundit), and the small fraction left over who aren't semi-professional jihadists or godless billionaires have allowed the construction of great Totems of Douchebaggery to reify the missionary zeal of the self aware (and neighborhood-blind*) progressive arts scene - amidst all this there is a remarkable peace in watching a ship full of money burn.
and no voiceover to boot!
*Due to technological constraints, "Triumph of the Swill : A Chinatown Photojournal" will appear in a later publication. Please assuage your disappointment by looking at these adorable pooches (Woodward Gallery, near Allen and Delancy)
