The Fall of Johann Hari

Similarly, the films which established Arnie as a movie star, the 'Conan the Barbarian' series, have a strong resemblance to the fascist myths of a heroic Nordic pre-civilisation, when strapping Aryans would fight against vicious hoardes of savages. The Waffen SS could have used Conan's philosophy, "I burn with life, I love, I slay and am content."
 - Johann Hari on Arnold Schwarzenegger's impending reign, and I guess it would be too much to expect that he'd know about Howard's profound hatred of the Nazis and Fascism in general

I never liked Johann Hari even before I found out some of the garbage he said about Lord of the Rings, as noted by Brian Murphy in a passionate recent post, where he has outed Hari as a goddamn hypocrite.  I didn't even find out until today that he had the above to say about Conan.  My dislike of Hari goes beyond simple disagreements with his assessment of literature and authors I happen to like, and into disgust for his arrogance, pretentiousness, shameless sensationalism, lack of journalistic integrity, brazen plagiarism, woolly association with the truth, and most of all, his penchant for just making things up.

So ultimately, what Mr Hari says about The Lord of the Rings and Tolkien, or Conan and Robert E. Howard matters little, considering what a hash he makes of things like statistics, economics, politics and the like.  If he can't do basic fact-checking about the stuff he does for his job, how can we possibly expect him to know what he's talking about when it comes to the arts?

Rarely do I outright use such strong terms, but Johann Hari...

He bothers me.

... You see why I try not to bring politics into the blog?

New Fall Maternity Clothes!

Fall tends to be a warm welcome for many mothers and expecting moms. With the hot weather coming to an end, and school starting, there are plenty of new things on the horizon to look forward to. One of the best things for the expecting mother is the wonderful new styles and designs of maternity clothing. One thing is for certain in the maternity clothing industry…..Fall spells style. There is no doubt that the Fall season brings out the absolute best in the newest fall maternity clothing styles. From vibrant prints to soothing solid fall colors, we have it all. It’s so much easier to dress warm than to dress cool. You can have a wide array of choices of maternity dresses that look so beautiful, they can literally be shocking to many as being for expecting mothers. Each Fall season the selection of maternity dresses and tops gets better and better. With the new trends, and the classic that never die, there is always something that will fit your taste. For many expecting mothers, the dresses are the most popular desired item. With the new season, not only does the temperature get cooler, but the holidays become a more profound time in our life. Holiday parties and get-togethers are such a wonderful time for new moms as they are glowing from the expectancy of their new precious angel to the celebration of family, life, and the religion or spirituality that makes up their life. What a great combination! Fall maternity dresses and tops are usually not form fitting so pay close attention to your bust size when ordering. Make sure the dress doesn’t go down too far in the front that could reveal more than what you feel comfortable with. Most dresses on BellaBlu Maternity breathe well so you don’t have to worry about getting too hot, so focus on style and color. Find a color that complements you or even gives you the slimming effect many expecting mothers crave.
