Nerd Notes: Every Man a Derrida?

We're all deconstructing ourselves to oblivion. Well, apparently we're more doomed than I had previously thought. Bleagh. Oh, how I hate critical theory. Blurb:
Are the great American habits of directness, foursquare honesty, and a hearty handshake being undermined by fancy-pants French critical theory? You betcha! From the Obama-McCain struggle to find the proper meta-analysis of the word celebrity to the deconstruction of the mainstream media's treatment of John Edwards, from the "framing" and "repackaging" of political constructs to the rise of identity politics for white people, the trend is clear: We are all postmodernists now.
