Paul Ryan's committed to doing work that doesn't need to be done because someone has to do it. Or something:

Is there anything more odious than conservatives pretending to do the work of a class for which they don't care one whit in order to secure the votes of those who spit on the very people these conservatives are pretending to be?

Visual Studies 401: Films You Can't Unsee Futzing around on Facebook last night, I had an idea—which turned into a very interesting thread—about teaching a class on “films that can’t be unseen.” My suggestions were Requiem for a Dream, Happiness and Aguirre, the Wrath of God, but a number of horrifying suggestions followed, including: Dead Ringers, Oldboy, Irreversible, Dancer in the Dark, Blue Velvet, and Gummo, among others. Obviously, this is a terrible idea for a class—or a fine way to find myself fired—but those of us not disturbed enough by the prospect of a Romney presidency need something to foreclose the possibility of ever sleeping again. So I wonder what would find its way onto your syllabus, were you to teach this course? [Comments piling up at LGM.]
