Actually just got my application for SXSW credentials turned down two days ago because Michael Hastings of Rolling Stone is in Peshewar or some shit and I guess my letter of assignment from Sam Apple at Faste

*Hmmm.  So, how come you use Briticisms like "horrid," "keen on," and "one may retort"? And for that matter, why do you write for the Grauniad?  Not that I have any
problem with Anglophile Texans, being one myself.  You spent some formative years overseas,  maybe?  I sure did.

PS.  I have to give a big speech at the end of SXSW Interactive in a few weeks,
and I wonder if you have any revolutionary manifestos I could quote at
length from the podium.  Something to make the hippie web designers sit up straight in their stackable chairs.  Like maybe five minutes' worth.

Just saw your post on my al-Jaz op-ed. I'm actually 29 and from Texas. It's an open secret that I wrote this, see Guardian op-eds. Seriously, though, do you just think the linguistic structure is weird or what?
