On the ceiling

For many, the choice is not between capitalism or socialism but between HBO or Showtime. Socialisme ou barbarie had its time. Today it should be rendered as socialism or consumerism. The left needs to articulate a theory of needs in the age of extinction.

I predicted Jacobin magazine would trash a trade deal Sherrod Brown (solid labor cred) advocates.

Trump is the first about-to-be-impeached President to attend the Navy-Army game.

Both Sanders and Trump are economic nationalists/populists.

Both are Peacemakers (according to Berniebros).

Both claim to be anti-Establishment.

This is why Sanders claims he is best suited to drawing the votes of Trump supporters.

The Sanders campaign just can’t shake the misogyny label. Endorsing Cenk reaffirms the obvious.

Odd that a misogynist (Cenk Uygur) would run for a seat vacated by a woman (Katie Hill) who was victimized by a misogynist.

When Bern was breaking rocks alongside Mandela in the 60s, I wonder if he ever thought he’d be trailing Buttigieg in 2019?

Elizabeth Warren apparently doesn’t know FDR’s net worth was $60 million dollars in 1933, which is the equivalent of $1.15 billion dollars today.

He made Big Structural Change.

Clint Eastwood worked wonders with the white-supremacist-written Josey Wales, depicted as the victim of Northern aggression. He assumed he could make a similar sort of hero out of Jewell.

Ivanka can’t wait to be with Christopher Steele again.

Hit single #1

Ms Arquette’s detractors are either members of professional outragetariat or addled hyper-intersectionalists.

What’s wrong with having a beer with an owl.

One must forgive Bill O’Reilly. He’s not used to working with facts.

For the speakers and attendees of CPAC, the sky is always falling. It’s curious that the sky always only lands on them.

Ms Kirchner made an Argentinian judge an offer he couldn’t refuse.

Clint Eastwood turned Mr Kyle into the new Daniel Boone. Or Josey Wales. Which proves Americans are gullible, like the audience at Le Gamaar.

Born to be bad

Mr Belichick affirms the old adage: if his lips are moving, he’s lying.

That the Arab-American Anti-Discrimination Committee has been compelled to ask Mr Eastwood and Mr Cooper to intervene in the wake of the rise of anti-Arab and anti-Muslim threats says all that needs to be said about the degraded state of the Americans’ political culture.

After the demise of the historical avant-garde (DADA, surrealism), art no longer has the capacity to shock. Hence, irony has ascended as the predominant, adversarial aesthetic form, which also stands opposed to “schlock” (e.g., Pussy Riot), the kitschification of shock.

I hope Mark Cousins’ “6 Desires: DH Lawrence & Sardinia” includes the exquisite von Richthofen sisters.
