    Democracy Now! | World Renowned Philosopher Slavoj Zizek on the Iraq War, the Bush Presidency, the War on Terror & More

    zizek on democracy now. What a spazz. some cool tid bits in there, a few contradictions and lots of nose wiping.
    he has a new book out also, "in defense of lost causes."
    about the "failures of leftism, and the central task of beginning a new left project."

    Quoted: Part two of our wide-ranging discussion with Slavoj Zizek, the philosopher, psychoanalyst and cultural theorist. He has been called the "Elvis of cultural theory" and is widely considered to be one of Europe's leading intellectuals. He has written more than fifty books and speaks to sold-out audiences around the world. [includes rush transcript]

      i like how awkwardly sincere zizek can appear at times. have you ever noticed the sort of clumsy puppydog aspect to him? to get a zizek is basically like if a golden retriever with an oversized head and paws got hit by a garbage truck and came out all mangled and filthy and humanoid. ..also called cocaine.
