A Strategic Ideological Hiccup (0)
8/13/10 •
I suppose it should no longer be surprising when the Obama administration shows its true centrist/conservative colors as it did in the recent comments of White House spokesman Robert Gibbs’ condemnation of a “professional left” condemning comparisons (by primarily television commentators such as Rachel Maddow and Keith Olberman of MSNBC) of the Obama administration and [...]

(Thanks to Ricky Martin’s song, “She Bangs,” for inspiring this post’s title.) A few days ago I watched the online video of last Thursday’s (July 29) ABC daytime talk show, “The View,” during which President Barack Obama chatted up the “little people”—Obama’s clueless reference to the female occupants of the seemingly uncomfortable couch he was [...]

I have written before on my blog site about President Barack Obama’s tepid leadership, fearful and delayed administrative action, even clueless constitutional idealism. In making these arguments I (unfortunately) might seem to share rhetorical space with conservatives (“conservative” is a prehistoric misnomer now applied to knee-jerk, anti-ideological reactionaries simply defending existing institutions and practices of [...]

The weather has been wet and cold the last three days, so I’ve mostly been hangin’ with Baldo, Chica, and Mingo while doing stuff around the house. Today, though, I felt the need to reassert my fly fishing mentalite by watching whatever I could find on the internets. I found one treasure of a video [...]
(It’s not) Jennifer’s Body (0)

Today I watched Jennifer’s Body, the popular rendering of a kind of succubus myth that also serves as the star vehicle for the teen-something generation’s Angelina Jolie-like superstar with a hot, kick-ass body, Megan Fox. (I’ve heard that because she’s slightly tattooed and got an independent streak, of sorts, even without the accompanying vial of [...]

Domingo celebrated his 92nd last Wednesday and Saturday we went to the local cemetery where we visited the grave sites of our wife/mother LuDean, daughter/sister Peggy, and twin infants/siblings Dawn and Dwaine. A few photos of “El Viejo” celebrating a long, full life.

My little fence repair project is finished. I stained it this afternoon. I like it given that I kept the posts that were already in place, one of them–the big rough-looking post–being, as my brother reminded me, originally part of barbed-wire fence that bordered a wonderful horse pasture. It enclosed what would now be considered [...]

“The body now serves as an instrument or intermediary: if one intervenes upon it to imprison it, or to make it work, it is in order to deprive the individual of liberty that is regarded both as a right and as property. The body, according to this penalty, is caught up in a system of [...]
Temperament: Obama’s American Vision (0)
5/11/10 •
It’s become official: pragmatically, reasonably, thoughtfully, cautiously, carefully, open-minded, with consensus and coalition-building and mature foresight apparent above all, our former candidate, now president, of hope and fundamental change of the way things are done in Washington and the way America is imagined has nominated for the Supreme Court of the United States an intellectual, [...]
