I didn't either, but that comment was just so clearly loaded in so many
ways.  You seem to be unpacking it in a helpful manner, but to clarify
the "literature" skills of most of the people here, stop sending
me your fucking funny "double-barreled" ripostes, i.e. don't be a
right-wing cretin out to "set people straight" about something you
don't know hardly enough about (Jane Byrne's election slogan was
once a version of "apres moi, le deluge").  If you're going to leave out
McCormick (as you clearly indicate an intention to do) as an element
in Haymarket I don't care what books you have a soft spot for; in fact,
your rather expert handling of tropes integral to the left makes me suspect
you're too good a friend even at the level of ear-splitting whine you're
attempting
to provide: posting here is not a job, but if you have a job something
like this
it's probably not "self-identical" enough even for my putatively
postmodernist tastes.   Please grow up; I have other things to do.
