Welcome to Liam McGonagle's Great Amateur Hour!

You know, it's kinda ironic that they call this the "Information Age", isn't it? I mean, has there ever been a time in history when the collective intelligence quotient has seemed lower? The century that sees the rise of phenomena like the Jackass entertainment franchise and the election of an American President so stupid that he invades Iraq based on what is tantamount to a highschool kid's prank phonecall cannot have much claim to profound wisdom.

The sheer scale of the thing is sublime and its implications could be daunting when considered in context of immanent challenges to energy infrastructure, national security and to the fate of democracy itself. If you were of a mind to look at in the depressingly buttoned-down solution-oriented sort of way, that is!

No, the Spirit of Our Times speaks with a Different Voice--one not weighed down with the scoldful jeremiads of thoughtful old professors or turgid moral appeals to "Our Better Angels" --but rather one leavened with frenetic clarion calls to our own destruction by that self-selected tribune of the people, the amateur blogger. A thing fully in accord with the philosophical principles exemplified by my own revered great ancestor, William McGonagall.

This blog is dedicated to celebrating just this spirit, the tenacious obduracy, enthusiasm and ignorance that make the great American blogger's message what it truly is--a call to dunce-ity. Welcome to the Feeble Choice Awards, the Valhalla of the Vain, Liam McGonagle's Great Amateur Hour!

Taking the Show on the Road . . .

For the duration of the current Reich, we've elected to take a bit of a road trip . . .



Hope to see you at the Dystopia Diaries. Cheers!
