"I slept and dreamt that life was Joy.
I woke and saw that life was Duty.
I acted, and behold, Duty was Joy."
–Rabindranath Tagore

"The skepticism about human rationality that science inspires should not be taken as support for authoritarianism or paternalism… On the contrary, it should render questionable all claims to wise and disinterested leadership, including those of America’s own altruistic progressive technocrats who propose policies to “nudge” the unenlightened masses into doing the right thing. It makes more sense to think of our leaders and intellectuals as half-crazed hooting howler monkeys — just like the rest of us."
–Michael Lind, Salon, August 23,2011
“Seeing what isn’t there is half the job of being on the Left. The other half is changing what isn’t there through costly, intrusive, and ill-conceived initiatives (save 10 percent for keeping Charlie Rangel out of trouble).” -Abe Greenberg, October 9, 2009
 “To date, what non-Obama voters see, and fear, is a candidate content to coast to the nomination and then conduct a blandly conservative campaign. They want a more substantive choice than that. They want to have it out over the worth or danger of Barack Obama’s ideas. They want the chance to ratify Washington’s enormous long-term claims on the country’s wealth, or decisively reject them." – Daniel Henninger, WSJ, July 21, 2011

The Lost City

DateWednesday, May 20, 2009 at 08:53AM

My next Netflix order: The Lost City.  I love Andy Garcia anyway, but the fact that the movie has been banned by several South American countries because it portrays Ernesto "Che" Guevarrra in a bad (that is, honest) light will only add to my enjoyment.

As Ms Nimis knows, I don't get out much. At the grocery store, all those faces on magazine covers are strangers to me, and I have no desire to meet them. However, I seem to have heard, somewhere, that Garcia is one of us. Lost City sounds like a good movie, which, added to the aforementioned, is good reason to take the Beloved Spousal Unit to see it for our anniversary.

In a similar vein, Newsmax is not a great magazine, yet, but we are considering a subscription, pour encourager les autres.

Anything that portrays Guevara as the murderous thug he was gets an immediate increase of one letter grade.
