We hope you didn’t miss this beautiful exposé<\/strong><\/font><\/a> of the “tackiness and gall” in David Brooks’s know-nothing column<\/strong><\/font><\/a> about “French gangsta rap” and hip-hop culture in re: the suburban French riots. (The column, posted Thursday, is hidden behind the TimesSelect subscription wall, hélas<\/i>, but you’ll get his drift from the critique.)
\nAlso, in re: the Evangelical theme park WHERE JESUS WALKED<\/strong><\/font><\/a> (posted Friday free of charge), Leon Freilich<\/strong><\/font><\/a><\/i> offers this verse commentary:
\n\"LOCATION<\/a>
\nLOCAL TRADITION<\/strong>
\nAuthenticity is assured;
\nWorshippers, though, must be inured:
\nEvery Friday, a crucifixion
\nRe-enacting the affliction
\nWith a volunteer who’s flailed
\nCruelly and finally nailed.
\nWho’s to be the stricken Jesus?
\nNeither poor nor rich as Croesus;
\nSomeone whole, not someone sliced,
\nFully formed to be the Christ.
\nMuslim men are lining up,
\nSome as young as a high school pup,
\nReady to go through the Passion,
\nBut in their own special fashion:
\nBeing modest, can’t be nude,
\nWhich is reckoned morally rude.
\nAll’re prepared to do their best–
\nWearing an Intifada vest.<\/I>
