Notable quote: Andy Dance, who chairs the County Commission, was cautioning his colleagues last week at the latest joint government meeting, and ahead of next week’s parade of requests before the local legislative delegation: “The legislature still is a mess. The word I got is the infighting is still there from last year. If we’re going to get something through, it’s probably going to go through as a Senate appropriation, not through the House. The House is just not the avenue to expect things to go this year.”

Ubu Roi was written by Alfred Jarry, a man who single-handedly raised de-rangement to the level of religion. Jarry opened the floodgates of that movement with the military name: the advance guard. By his death in 1907, every prac-titioner of radical art-Picasso, Matisse, Pound, Joyce, Stein, Satie, Stravinsky-owed something to the diminutive Jarry and his obese King Ubu. Yeats sat in the house on opening night, cheering the play on against its detractors. Yet after-ward, he wrote of feeling an extreme sad-ness. After the refinements of his own verse, of Bernhardt and Brahms, there had to be a reaction against so much beauty. Sadly, he wrote the century’s ob-stetric: “After us, the Savage God.”” […] . Jarry merely emphasized the underside of the intimacy brought on by mechanical reproduction: the camera, in encouraging us to identify with the photographed scene, always lied. It cropped, it recolored, it double-exposed. Lenses blurred the distinction between private dream and public, mass-repro-duced logic.
–From Richard Powers’s Three Farmers on Their Way to a Dance (1985).

@Three farmers on their way home
… after attending a gathering of one man political parties that opened with a moment of silence; was followed by each party doing nothing — gradually ending, as hunger and sleepiness had the final word. For no particular reason, except maybe that they were traveling together, they agreed to do it again next time — if there was a next time.
And so it went, and then it didn’t.

Minneapolis Shootings and Congress.
An equally good caption would be “Now is not the time to discuss gun safety”
Skibum says
Republicans love to repeat, ad nauseum, that the problem with all of the mass shootings isn’t the guns, it is the people who pull the trigger. So, if the problem really is the people and not the guns, why do we continue to give people guns???
The also love to point out their belief that all it takes to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. I don’t know about you, but having been around guns and people with guns even before I was a teenager, and after working in law enforcement for nearly three decades, you could assemble and line up a whole bunch of people carrying guns and I still would not be able to walk down that line and say which ones were good guys with guns and which were bad guys with guns.
My conclusion is that both of those beliefs Republicans rely on are FALSE… they are LIES!
Kennan says
Skibum! Thank you!
These gun loving douchebags love to use the excuse that gun control means you’re against the 2nd amendment. Not true.
Big business! For what? Big guns? Killer guns? I’m sorry, but anyone that owns a AK 47, AR-15, or any high capacity weapon meant for killing other human beings is more likely to use it. In a world littered with propaganda, bad news, and mental illness??? The writing is on the wall, but these gun makers are more interested in their bottom line than lives.
