Here are my two favorites:
Bruno Schu...Excellent.<br /><br />Here are my two favorites:<br /><br />Bruno Schulz excerpt from 'The Cinnamon Shops'<br /><br /><br /><br />A Treatise on Mannequins or, The Other Book of Genesis<br /><br /> <br /><br />‘THE DEMIURGUS’ said my father ‘had no monopoly on creation — creation is the privilege of all souls. Matter is given to endless fecundity, an inexhaustible vital force, and at the same time the beguiling power of temptation that entices us to be creators. Deep within matter, barely perceptible smiles are shaped; faces freeze agog — congealing attempts at figurations. All matter ripples with endless possibilities, which pass through it in sickly shudders. Awaiting the invigorating breath of the soul, it overflows endlessly into itself; it tempts us with its thousand sweet encirclements and the pliability it dreams up out of itself in its blind reveries.<br /><br />Count Jan Potocki from 'The Manuscript Found at Saragossa'<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Manuscript_Found_in_SaragossaArthurstonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01083956773592540646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-87193978198605460962009-07-21T16:31:41.508-04:002009-07-21T16:31:41.508-04:00Here's a Pole I like to read:
Children of Our...Here's a <a href="http://www.poets.org/poet.php/prmPID/340" rel="nofollow">Pole</a> I like to read:<br /><br />Children of Our Era <br />by Wislawa Szymborska <br />Translated by Joanna Trzeciak <br /><br /> <br />We are children of our era; <br />our era is political. <br /><br />All affairs, day and night, <br />yours, ours, theirs, <br />are political affairs. <br /><br />Like it or not, <br />your genes have a political past, <br />your skin a political cast, <br />your eyes a political aspect.<br /> <br />What you say has a resonance; <br />what you are silent about is telling. <br />Either way, it's political. <br /><br />Even when you head for the hills <br />you're taking political steps <br />on political ground. <br /><br />Even apolitical poems are political, <br />and above us shines the moon, <br />by now no longer lunar. <br />To be or not to be, that is the question. <br />Question? What question? Dear, here's a suggestion: <br />a political question. <br /><br />You don't even have to be a human being <br />to gain political significance. <br />Crude oil will do, <br />or concentrated feed, or any raw material. <br /><br />Or even a conference table whose shape <br />was disputed for months: <br />should we negotiate life and death <br />at a round table or a square one? <br /><br />Meanwhile people were dying, <br />animals perishing, <br />houses burning, <br />and fields growing wild,<br />just as in times most remote <br />and less political.Shaw Kenawehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637273000409613497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-68173869365659405522009-07-21T14:21:34.382-04:002009-07-21T14:21:34.382-04:00I voted for Obama.

We were stuck in two wars. The economy had been nearly destroyed and it was definitely time for George to go cut brush and work on 'refilling his coffers'. His work was finished. Sigh.<br /><br />I also knew full well voting for Obama that many things would get worse before they got better. I knew he would have a hostile minority in congress opposing him who, emboldened by the narrow margin of his election victory, would bleat the 'bipartisan' blues endlessly. I knew he would have 'centrist' Democrats ready, willing and able to do the bidding of their business/health care/defense contributors. I knew that a significant portion of the media would work day and night to perpetuate stories about Obama's 'citizenship', and his 'Marxist' & 'terrorist' leanings.<br /><br />These were givens. A reasonable person would not be surprised by any of this. The magnitude of the problems we face is immense. Likewise the obstructionist, petty partisan politics of the opposition is equally immense. Combined with the tiny attention span of the American voter and the endless urge for an immediate fix displayed by all facets of our society we have an entire nation full of people agitated, pissed off and eager to have things better yesterday.<br /><br />Yet another reason I am happy not to own a television.<br /><br />Or read polls.<br /><br />Cheers!Arthurstonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01083956773592540646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-54985816423256533412009-07-21T12:33:14.447-04:002009-07-21T12:33:14.447-04:00Gordon,

Especially if the carbon tax kicks in (and kicks the economy to hell) or the worst aspects of the current health care plan stay in.<br /><br />The popularity of both Obama and his agenda are rather soft right now, with polls showing that 2008 primary loser Mitt Romney would be even with Obama in the 2012 election, and "can't even serve out one term of high office" quitter Sarah Palin also making a surprisingly strong showing against him.dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-21379308730438305392009-07-21T07:40:38.001-04:002009-07-21T07:40:38.001-04:00Right wing God Ronald Reagan also suffered a drtop...Right wing God Ronald Reagan also suffered a drtop in poll numbers during his first term.

I don't see where over throwing the government will accomplish anything, especially with violence. Congress is just as bad. Anymore politicians only look out for themselves and I don't see this administration any different. <br /><br />He was elected and the only way to change that is to find someone that can beat him. That isn't looking very promising at least at the moment. Until we find somebody, we have to honor what the public voted on and chill with the whole insurrection thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-18835258267005311052009-07-20T12:42:50.941-04:002009-07-20T12:42:50.941-04:00I was meaning to ask britgal just how many Myspace...I was meaning to ask britgal just how many Myspace accounts she had.Joe "Truth 101" Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08875151516978133598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-66575604385049581192009-07-20T12:40:20.039-04:002009-07-20T12:40:20.039-04:00Shaw Kenawe said...
