Theatre d'Absurditie

     So the bomb scares during this past spring semester  at the University of Pittsburgh, one of my alma maters, were primarily generated by a Scottish separatist living in Ireland. He is not a young man, and he is in a wheelchair, and he has a history of bomb scares, primarily in England. That reads like the script of a dark comedy, very dark, for an indie movie that is secretly trying to depict absurdity. It seems like postmodernism come home to roost. Nothing about a man old young to be on Social Security in the United States, as well as on disability, terrorizing a university in another country in order to achieve liberation for his own country from yet another country makes any sense whatsoever. Sometimes human nature and emotions and thought processes are, indeed, stranger than fiction.
