Web Side Story
I can’t seem to embed this West Side Story parody, but do yourself a favor and watch it.

29 June 2009
David Lancaster, a St. Louis artist whose work I admire, is having a show. Quoting the gallery: “‘Give me chastity… but not yet.’ St. Augustine (354-430), Bishop of Hippo and one of the major figures of early Christianity, uttered this famous prayer in his struggle to gain mastery over his earthly desires. In the spirit [...]

28 June 2009
When I heard that pop singer Michael Jackson had died, I could not help but remember what a staple he was in the late-night monologues. What would all the hacks, myself included, do now? Crypto-queer GOPers and philandering family-values types can only get you so far. Perhaps Roseanne Barr could be coaxed out of retirement [...]

Continue reading...The Century of the Self
8 June 2009
I am currently working through a wonderful BBC documentary on how the ideas of Sigmund Freud have been used to control the masses (don’t worry, it’s anything but dry). It’s called “The Century of the Self.” The four episodes are below; I highly recommend it. Part 1 of 4: Part 2 of 4: Part 3 [...]
Continue reading...Talk: JFK and the Unspeakable
6 June 2009
This is a talk by Jim Douglass, a peace activist and the author of the book “JFK and the Unspeakable.” Perhaps I will get a copy for my birthday. From everything I have read about “Unspeakable,” I think it gets closest to explaining why I’ve always been fascinated with the JFK assassination (from the age [...]

For those (like my commenter) who desire a more conclusive discussion, one can be found in James K. Galbraith’s article here.
