	The American Spectator
		Wolcott would not acknowledge a single decapitation in Iraq.
		Yet every reference to such beheadings that Wolcott was able to scrape up (Three -- the one above, one from a blogger, and one from a baseball player's wife) clearly referred to Iraq and to death by beheading, whereas Pearl was killed first and decapitated later.
		In addition to showing the monstrousness of the enemy, what Wolcott's "headhunters" are saying is: "I'll bet you wouldn't like it if this were done to you" and chances are Wolcott wouldn't, insofar as it might interfere with his next wine-and-cheese party at the Ritz.

	The Catsitters - James Wolcott - Used Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		THE CATSITTERS is the debut novel of the celebrated (and often controversial) critic James Wolcott.
		Wolcott's book concerns itself with the adventures of a cute, fetching fluffball--and in addition to this human hero, there's a cat in it, too.
		Wolcott appears to approach fiction writing as a second language, to the point of being bafflingly maladroit in ways that would never pass his own critical muster.

	Powell's Books - Attack Poodles (04 Edition) by James Wolcott
		And, as James Wolcott reminds us in this blistering indictment of their bully tactics, the great canine horde has hijacked the country's media, bringing not just the tradition of an independent press, but the entire American way of democracy, to its knees.
		With breathtaking clarity and savage wit, Wolcott has turned the tables on the punditocracy, revealing the foibles and hypocrisies of this particularly pompous breed, as well as the ignorance and arrogance of the administration it aims to protect.
		With the boldness and insight that readers of Wolcott's media column in Vanity Fair have come to love, Wolcott demystifies the poodles' strategies as he points out where they are most vulnerable to attack.

	Amazon.fr : The Catsitters: A Novel: Livres en anglais: James Wolcott (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		It's hard to believe this mild-mannered novel was written by the same James Wolcott who produces such withering cultural commentary in the pages of Vanity Fair.
		Still, the book is most appealing when Wolcott forgets he's writing a novel and slips into critic mode.
		Although Wolcott's premise shows satiric possibility and his insights into the world of struggling actors are dead-on, the novel handicaps itself by giving Darlene's monomania center stage.

	Amazon.ca: Attack Poodles and Other Media Mutants: Books: James Wolcott (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		From cultural critic Wolcott (Vanity Fair; the New Yorker) comes an examination of the "infotainment" that he says now passes for political news.
		He points a finger at the rise of TV news personalities, or the "attack poodles," those ratings-hungry pundits, who, he says, are geared more toward quips, rants, profits and fame than to informing a democratic populace.
		Intelligent, amusing and insightful, Wolcott's effort is still unlikely to approach sales anywhere close to those of books published recently by some of the "attack poodles" he criticizes.

	mikegerber.com: James Wolcott on George Lois
		Wolcott writes, "Although the audacious covers he designed for Esquire in the 60s and early 70s are lauded as one of the marathon achievements in magazine history, these testimonials are nothing but talk--magazines have never played it safer.
		In Wolcott's version, it was Hayes' lack of ego and faith in Lois that allowed those spectacular covers to exist.
		Celebrity culture didn't start to dominate because people got tired of thinking, much as it benefits the "pushers" to say so--it rose because magazine owners believed that they could make more money if the content of their issues was apolitcal and ephemeral.

	Wider Angle: James Wolcott
		Wolcott sums up the events of the day as presented to the nation through a lens, wireless microphones, and commercial breaks.
		Despite the fact that there was no specific terrorist threat, the security was unprecedented even for these unprecedented times, with FBI snipers on rooftops, clusters of antiaircraft missiles, layers of police and checkpoints, video command centers monitoring every spilled cup of coffee (CNN's Kelli Arena provided an inside peek), and rows of empty bleachers.
		Commentators refuse to recognize the ominous import of the stepped-up militarization of the parade and pageantry, and increasingly of civilian life in this country under a president who likes to wear neat little uniforms that say, "Me commander-in-chief."

		As for CSI New York, it looks as if it were shot in a life-sized Manhattan lovingly reconstructed in the lair of a James Bond villain, its gleaming surfaces and beatific light bearing no resemblance to an actual city.
		No, the original CSI was the only one for me, and even it has acquired the sour metallic taste of the overall franchise in recent seasons, a smug topdog arrogance nicely captured by Robert Farley at Lawyers, Guns and Money:
		Frank Capra could imagine vibrant small towns turning their vibrancy in the direction of vice -- but he couldn't imagine them forsaken and abandoned, with the shop fronts boarded up and the sidewalks empty, which was the true tragic destiny of all the Bedford Falls in our nation.

	SIVACRACY.NET: Happy Holidays to James Wolcott
		Observation about "The Christmas Kvetchers" from Wolcott's blog: "This "fear of Christmas" is a phantom menace conjured every year so that certain crybaby Christians can adopt victim status and model a pained expression over the sad fact that not everyone around them isn't carrying on like the Cratchits.
		This thin-skinned grievance-collecting gives birth to all sorts of urban legends and rumors about big institutions being hostile to Christ's birthday, such as the one that swirled on WOR radio last week about how Macy's employees had been instructed not to say "Merry Christmas!" to shoppers.
		I've got news: Even here on the godless, liberal Upper West Side, people wish each other Merry Christmas without staggering three steps backward, thunderstruck and covered with chagrin."...
