I can't believe this waste is 2.5 hours. That's just unbelievable.

Hey, not bad. Thanks.
Re: “MTA to Put Cameras on the Subway, Teenagers to Reference Orwell”
Well, here's the deal. You're engaging in an exercise in futility by challenging the Post. Modern-day "conservatism" is not actually conservatism. Modern-day "conservatives" -- the Hannitys, the Limbaughs, the Malkins, the tea-baggers, the empty-noise makers you see on the telly, too many of the Republicans in Congress, and yes, the New York Post in general -- care about two things: warm and fuzzy feelings of "safe America"; power. They do not want small government; they want big government under their control. They do not want to agree with the ACLU on anything; they want scorched-earth destruction if it means the Other Party gains power. They're crybabies.
Alas, you have to scour the Internet for actual small-government journalists. Generally, they aren't employed by powerful media outlets. They write blogs or edit magazines that the average American doesn't read.
Re: “In Defense of Film Culture”
FWIW I've never seen Armond White compliment any film critic other than Armond White, Pauline Kael, and Andrew Sarris.
That said, I like White — not always his weekly writings b/c they're so often riddled with sentences that make little sense and lack clarity, which makes me think his editors, if they exist, are afraid of him — and love his mission. His essays for Criterion DVDs are especially sharp and forceful.
