Look, professionalism would normally prevent me from commenting on a piece I
edited, but this is Internet journalism 2.0, so fuck it. Does anyone else have a ferocious crush on Ms. Crabapple after reading this interview? Forget for the nonce the T&A sketchwork. I'm talking Russian Symbolism, Jewish radicalism, and a working knowledge of Kurdistan (she had me at "mountain Turk"). Come on.

The bourgeois with a hangdog air

Stands speechless like a question mark,

And the old world behind him there

Stands with its tail down in the dark.
