In conjunction with this post, please read Alexis's comments on sexual violence against black women, " To Be Game. I was particularly affected by Pat's words on p. 11:. These v...

Media, culture, and politics from an aesthetic-materialist's perspective. Friday, January 16, 2009. Bush, We Bid You A-Doo. Have compiled their favorite "Bushisms" over the past eight years, and the results are hilarious.and sad, given that W. was our president for two full terms. The Republicans' strategy of celebrating W.'s willful ignorance as some kind of "folksy," from-the-gut authenticity now lies in tatters. Here are some of the best Bushisms out of the bunch:. Nashville, Tennessee, 27 May 2004.

Media, culture, and politics from an aesthetic-materialist's perspective. Tuesday, December 30, 2008. Still Reading Milton after All These Years. I continue to be impressed by Stanley Fish's commitment to Milton studies, even as his academic star-power takes him to the heights of institutional authority and public intellectualism (via his very popular New York Times. More recently, Fish wrote on a new prose translation of Milton's Paradise Lost. By the Canadian Miltonist Dennis Danielson. Is best read as...

From the Onion News Network: "Domino's Scientists Test Limits of What Humans Will Eat.". Domino's Scientists Test Limits Of What Humans Will Eat. The sad thing about this piece is that commercials for actual Domino's pies are interspersed throughout the parody - can you tell what's real and what's fake? Posted by Kinohi Nishikawa.

The Paperback Museum: Introducing Donald Goines
http://paperbackmuseum.blogspot.com/2007/08/introducing-donald-goines.html
Media, culture, and politics from an aesthetic-materialist's perspective. Wednesday, August 8, 2007. I recently wrote a brief review of Eddie Allen's Low Road: The Life and Legacy of Donald Goines. National Public Radio host Tony Cox interviewed Allen about his book and Goines's life (and tragic death by shooting) back in 2004. Follow this link. To access that interview and to get a taste of the kind of writing Goines spawned in his brief but shockingly productive literary career (16 novels in five years).

Media, culture, and politics from an aesthetic-materialist's perspective. Thursday, April 23, 2009. The Supreme Court heard oral arguments yesterday in the case Redding v. Safford. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals deemed the school's actions unconstitutional, but according to various news. The US. Supreme Court is likely to overturn that decision, citing that the harm suffered by Redding isn't compelling enough to render illegal at least this outrageous, police-like action taken by the school. 2002): The...

Media, culture, and politics from an aesthetic-materialist's perspective. Wednesday, August 8, 2007. Regarding the Morse v. Frederick. Student free-speech case I commented on the previous post, I thought it'd be relevant to post a picture of the actual "speech" in question. Here's Joseph Frederick's inimitable "BONG HiTS 4 JESUS":. The only thing Frederick was guilty of was making fun of the faux seriousness with which we approach drug and religious discourses in this country. His banner was pure.
