About this site and its author
Randy Rodriguez is a writer, "amateur" intellectual, and social critic. His critically informed ideological and cultural consciousness serves as a basis for insightful and probing social commentary on a broad spectrum of current and historically important cultural and political issues. But he is not defined solely by his intellectual interests. He loves the outdoor arts of fly fishing and golf which balance and correct his time spent tied to the artificial intelligences and abstract social practices of computers and smart phones.

- Obama backs down again. His legacy of feeble "constitutional" idealism grows as he gives in to whiny opposition. http://t.co/rxFwUX7O 1 week ago
- How privilege works: rules don't apply; lying is pro forma. (Business as usual for "too big to fail".) http://t.co/dSSQWg5b 2 weeks ago

Amateur Intellectuals
"...amateurism, literally, an activity that is fueled by care and affection rather than profit and selfish, narrow specialization.... How does the intellectual address authority: as a professional supplicant or as its unrewarded, amateurish conscience?" --Edward W. Said, Representations of the Intellectual (Vintage, 1994, pp. 82-83)
