What Can I Say?

ddjango posted an article on - Aug 5, 2010, 6:15 pm
From the heart ... Three times in the past I have abandoned the blogoswamp because I was too sick to write. I have nearly done it again. I can't really blame "illness" again, although I have been fighting my seemingly intractable clinical depression again over the last six months. But it's been more...

Elegy

ddjango posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
I was "introduced", you might say, to the Kennedys when I was thirteen, in 1960. My father, who had supported Eisenhower in 1952 and Stevenson in 1956, was supporting Kennedy in the 1960 election. JFK and my dad both graduated in the Class of 1940 from Harvard. Although I was born in California, to ...

Blind Staggers

ddjango posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
The bluesman Chris Smither, an old friend of mine, in our mutual drinking days would sometimes disappear after a coffeehouse appearance. The following morning, when questioned where he'd gone off to, would only say that he'd had the "blind staggers". Medical dictionaries claim that the condition eff...

The Silence of Freedom

ddjango posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
I know I'm not the only one, but I have to ask ... Who's watching the store? Who is leading the Cabinet? Who is corralling the Democrats? Where does the buck stop? Instead of a presidency, we've bought into nothing more than a traveling wild west variety show, complete with gunslingers and the Snake...

Firing Up the Fear Factory

ddjango posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
Does anyone else find it more than a coincidence that lately the fear factory in Washington has stoked the fires up pretty close to a meltdown? The last time there was as much collective dread, I believe, was during the 1962 'Cuban Missile Crisis', a few days in October forty-seven years ago when th...

It's the Culture, Stupid!

ddjango posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
I'm a pretty tolerant fellow. I was taught by my elders to appreciate the fact that there is usually a good reason for someone to believe, think, and act as s/he does. But I never thought I'd say this ... I can understand why the Rockefellers and their rich, cultured, educated friends are so terrifi...

Nobel: "Put Up or Shut Up"

ddjango posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
I have thought very carefully before adding my voice to the discussion about the 2009 Nobel Prize for Peace. What I've discovered is that few, if any, have written or talked about the irony of the award, concentrating on whether Obama "deserved" the prize. It is obvious that Obama has not "earned" i...

The Truth Won't Set Us Free

ddjango posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
We know the truth. Michael Werbowski, in "America: After the Fall", tells us ... 20 years after the fall of communism, American-style capitalism has also fallen. But the downfall was silent, without any visible walls toppling or crumbling. The 9/11-like collapse of the financial firms of Bear Stearn...

Fallen from a Great Depth

ddjango posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
I am lying on my couch, trying to read. I do that a lot these days. Trying to read. Trying to accept that this is a slow time for me, a season of healing from old wounds and more recent ones, some self-inflicted. Trying to find a place of peace in an ecology that has shunned peace. Although the blan...
