Friday, November 2, 2012. An Open Letter to James Bond, Her Majesty's Secret Agent 007. This November, Skyfall. James Bond movie in forty years, will debut in half-filled theatres across the country. In some circles, the release of a new Bond film is still meaningful; I bet the Flat-Earth Society is ecstatic. When Dr. No. The first Bond movie, was released in 1962, it was a sensation. The Bond franchise hit its stride two years later with the third Bond film, the imaginative and stylish Goldfinger. Even ...

Mike's Adel-blog: An Open Letter to War on Christmas Conspiracy Theorists (reprise)
http://michaeladelberg.blogspot.com/2012/12/an-open-letter-to-war-on-christmas.html
Saturday, December 1, 2012. An Open Letter to War on Christmas Conspiracy Theorists (reprise). Http:/ www.michaeladelberg.com/. This blog was originally published two years ago. It is being brought back at the request of a reader. Non-Christians, including yours truly, are mostly ambivalent to the small-town controversies about the Christmas carol and the manger. We don’t cheer when the manger is pulled down, and we don’t care whether or not our kids sing Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. With this in mind...

Saturday, June 2, 2012. An Open Letter to the Snakehead (a.k.a. Fishzilla, a.k.a. Frankenfish). You’ve got a pretty spooky name for a fish. In your native East Asia you are called Channa. Recently you’ve picked up some event spookier names: National Geographic calls you Fishzilla. And the Sci-Fi Network has taunted you as Frankenfish. Your supra-invasive-species status was cemented in the American imagination a decade ago via appearances on hit television shows like The Sopranos. So, Mr. Snakehead or...

Sunday, May 13, 2012. An Open Letter to the People of Connecticut and Death Penalty Supporters. A few weeks ago, Connecticut became the seventeenth state to ban the death penalty. Nonetheless, the time has come to admit that the death penalty, as it commonly practiced in the U.S. today, is mistaken. Here’s why:. The Death Penalty Does Not Deter Crime. The Death Penalty Does Not Save Money. Capital Punishment Is Irreversible. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Tuesday, July 3, 2012. An Open Letter to the American Reader. Hey You, American Reader. Psst… Lean forward. I have a secret to tell you. This is the golden age of the American book. Stop laughing. I’m serious. Yes, I am very familiar with the pessimistic critiques. Andrew Delbanco’s “The Decline and Fall of American Literature” in the New York Review of Books. A decade ago popularized the hand-wringing. More recently, the Wall Street Journal. Shorter Books for Busier People. And Michel Stone’s The ...

Saturday, August 4, 2012. An Open Letter to NBC Regarding the Olympics. Every four years, smatterings of the world’s greatest athletes gather for the great spectacle of the Summer Olympics. I have no beef with the Olympics as an athletic event, but it is delusion to think they make for good television. What follows is my Olympic-sized list of gripes with the 2012 Summer Olympics as televised sport. Pomp and Circumstance: The opening and closing ceremonies offer 19. Century grandeur to a 21. USA, U.S&...

Saturday, October 6, 2012. An Open Letter to Trick or Treaters and Halloween Lovers of All Ages. Once a year, America’s children put on silly plastic masks purchased at Wal-Mart and load up on candy purchased from Kroger’s. The cheap costumes will never serve a useful purpose afterward, and will soon find their way to our overflowing landfills. The candy will further fatten our obese children. Somewhere in America, a predator will do something very bad to an innocent child. Smiling Neighbors: Particularl...
