Conscientious Redux
I’d love to see some artspeak critic review this video for a fancy art magazine.
Thanks, Roma.
I just have to post this.

The sensationalist headline notwithstanding, this is one of the best articles I’ve read in a long time.

“In trying to explain why our political paralysis seems to have gotten so much worse over the past year, analysts have rounded up a plausible collection of reasons including: President Obama’s tactical missteps, the obstinacy of congressional Republicans, rising partisanship in Washington, the blustering idiocracy of the cable-news stations, and the Senate filibuster, which has devolved into a super-majority threshold for any important legislation. These are all large factors, to be sure, but that list neglects what may be the biggest culprit in our current predicament: the childishness, ignorance, and growing incoherence of the public at large.” - story

Jerry Saltz’s Facebook rant (via) leaves me a bit speechless. I mean aside from the fact that the only other famous person who prefers Facebook for rants is Sarah Palin (is that fact going to convince Jerry to ditch FB? I kind of doubt it, but one can hope), I am partly amused, partly entertained, partly wondering whether I’m still dreaming.
