- On the freakout: In the aftermath of Sanders’s ascendancy, various corporate gatekeepers and big-money representatives are scrambling—with little coherence or success—to put together a last-minute campaign to slow him down. The justification for such action, of course, is that the political establishment and their corporate henchmen, self-styled paragons of pragmatism and stewards of lucid, sober thinking, need to protect the electorate from a wild-eyed radical who is dangerously out of touch with America. But the last-second freakout tells us less about the Sanders campaign than about those political elites themselves, whose political instincts are so alarmingly wrongheaded that they’ve managed to ignore an obvious risk to their continued status until a week before voting begins. If anyone has revealed themselves as inept to the point of disqualification, it’s the anti-Sanders neighborhood watch.

SAY WHAT?
Tom Clark
As a principle of government
in an entropic democracy
plausible deniability
is undeniably plausible
therefore absolutely correct
and almost as good as
the ability to say what
you remembered to forget

ReplyDeleteEarless on purpose, though I've still got Dr Sevrin ears
a)do you mean the immediately-preceding graphic is a self-portrait? it certainly has its points of interest
b)i am experiencing semi-earlessness these days - that is to say, my world is much quieter as my middle ears are full of my vital fluids and various byproducts produced by multitudinous microorganisms, some of whom are presumably being affected by the antibiotic i've been taking for nearly a week
b1)last year my two years younger brother went through something like this and now uses hearing aids
b2)it's too soon to say how much of my own hearing will come back
b3)i can still play the keyboard - i will wait until my upper respiratory infection completely resolves before attempting to sing
b4)one of my pleasures in life recently has been my role as a practicing catholic in the choir of my local parish - have i already done this for this last time?
b5)maybe i am being punished by an angry god for my hypocrisy - my willingness to say the words and go through the motions while i am in my heart of hearts a doubting thomas
b6)i don't think so, however - i persist in my skepticism
b7)here's a parable from the gospel of thomas - saying 8 - translation by doresse
Then he says: "A man is like a skilled fisherman who cast his net into the sea. He brought it up out of the sea full of little fishes, and among them the skilled fisherman found one that was big and excellent. He threw all the little fishes back into the sea; without hesitating he chose the big fish. He who was ears to hear, let him hear!"
i am reminded of how when lobsters are caught the small ones are legally required to be returned to the ocean - this is the law both in maine and in nova scotia
i can only hear loud noises - not soft noises - this is parallel to big and little fish
Funk cites Aesop as follows: "A fisherman drew in the net which he had cast a short time before and, as luck would have it, it was full of all kinds of delectable fish. But the little ones fled to the bottom of the net and slipped out through its many meshes, whereas the big ones were caught and lay stretched out in the boat. (Perry, 1965: 9-10)" (New Gospel Parallels, v. 2, p. 110)

i wish you success with your acronym - among acronyms coined in the 21st century, my own creation is a rather small fish, despite including an f

i just noticed the typo in the translation - obviously it should be he who HAS ears to ear
DeleteWhat strikes me the most about the current shit-fit is just how stupid it sounds. I think these people actually believe their own bullshit. But then Americans are always scared of something, if there's nothing to scare them then they invent something scary out of whole cloth. Hey, it's a way of life.
ReplyDeleteIt seems clear that many people that voted Trump in 2016 would have voted for Bernie instead if he had gained the nomination. Who knows, maybe the so-called deep state won't have to put a cap in Trump's big fat ass after all.
I'm really enjoying seeing the centrists dissolve into last week's pudding. The pop-eyed old lady who fervently told us Bernie couldn't win had me rolling on the floor. Great stuff. It may not be the stuff dreams are made of but great stuff all the same.
Bolton looks like a cross between a weasel and a walrus, but he's all weasel.
Mistah Charley, I hope your hearing does come all the way back.
