Delicate Soul, Noble Brow

Moscow. . . Hmmph.

Dear Diary,
Boy do I ever have a blog for you!! : ) : ) ; ) !! I just read benmerkle's blog and he's raised a really serious question. How can I be taken seriously, how can I be seen as my own artistie-man if I don't come up with some concerns about Moscow? I can't. And so I have. But what to be concerned about? Ah ha! Doug Wilson!! : ( First off, who does he think he is? I mean HELLO! He puts Latin phrases in some of his writing. I can't read that, does he think he's better than me. Second, he's not a real scholar. I mean, sure he says some good things some times, but what are his credentials? Just because he says it from the pulpit he thinks I'm going to buy it? He doesn't even understand good film. His writing isn't academic. He's not a real theologian, I mean he might impress the uneducated, but not us writer/thinker types. He doesn't even use footnotes. Sheesh. Third, he's a "sonuvabitch." I mean, I don't really want to criticize the guy (he is my dad and all), and I don't mean this in a bad way. It's an artistic allusion. Once, in "Ghostbusters" one of the busters says it, and its got nuances here. I mean, it's not like it has to be bad. It just means that maybe he's a little tough. I think the "Karate Kid" said it once too, adding even further subtle layers to the phrases historoliterate meaning. Ben Merkle is a "sonuvabitch" in more of the "Karate Kid" sense.
Fourth, "Credenda/Deadenda (not my own, sorry I don't have the link ;-). It takes itself way too seriously, I mean all the imitation of "biblical" sarcasm, I just have concerns, I mean they think they're prophets? And it's not serious enough. Little illustrations and stuff, and spoof ads and things? That's not respectable. How do they ever expect to impress the pagans? I shake my head. I mean, I really do, I shake it. Sort of slowly.

N.D. "P.P." Wilson

P.S. I'm sorry, I don't think I got the tone of intangible concern quite right, but it's only my first day. I would appreciate pointers from any more experienced bloggers.
