How long until Season 2 of The Borgias?
Kidding. Season 1 was a big fat disappointment. Which is not to say I didn’t watch it.

A nod to Kierkegaard and Walker Percy: existentialist tomfoolery, political satire, literary homage, word mongering, a year-round summer reading club, Dylanesque music bits, apocalyptic marianism, poetry, fiction, meta-porn, a prisoner work-release program.

The best thing about that cartoon is its efficiency: Swap out a few words, replace the Papal tiara with a Pickelhaube or a top hat, and — hey presto! — it’s Teutonic aggression! It’s Tammany Hall! It’s Standard Oil!

Pickelhaube is almost as fine a word as festschrift.
