The Leak About the Leak

Pickle's pickle. "The sergeant at arms is facing the oddly postmodern task of investigating a Senate leak of a report on the investigation of a Senate leak."

Which raises the question, what sort of postmodernist is Sergeant Pickle? He should take the quiz.

Huh...now this is uh, ironic.


Whether you harbor some vestige of modernist
morality or simply fail to see the irony in
Reality TV, one thing is clear. You are just
Not Postmodern.

Not quite sure what the point of the post was, but if hte poster himself is derailing it, I might as well play along :)


You're Catch-22!

by Joseph Heller

Incredibly witty and funny, you have a taste for irony in all that you
see. It seems that life has put you in perpetually untenable situations, and your sense
of humor is all that gets you through them. These experiences have also made you an
ardent pacifist, though you present your message with tongue sewn into cheek. You
could coin a phrase that replaces the word "paradox" for millions of
people.

You are a Theory Slut. The true elite of the
postmodernists, you collect avant-garde
Indonesian hiphop compilations and eat journal
articles for breakfast. You positively live
for theory. It really doesn't matter what
kind, as long as the words are big and the
paragraph breaks few and far between.


What kind of postmodernist are you!?

Is it really a post modern quandry or is a post structuralist one?

Destruction of difference in a leak of a leak, anyone?

It's like Frederic Jameson on your wedding day!

You are a Deconstructionist Weirdo (pic may not be sfw). Although ostensibly originating with Derrida, the theories of your particular school have long since passed beyond intellegibillity; half the time you don't even understand what you're saying anymore. That's okay, though. You're a lot more fun to party with than a bunch of stodgy new historicists.

I just kind of liked the pomo angle, without getting into the policits of something previously thoroughly discussed. Though I do find it interesting what Lindsay Graham is up to. Who is the next Ken Starr?
