Sunday, July 6, 2014. Happy fucking birthday, George W. Bush.

Slouching Toward Urschleim: On American Mid-Century Middlebrow
http://urschleim.blogspot.com/2012/10/on-american-mid-century-middlebrow.html
Saturday, October 27, 2012. On American Mid-Century Middlebrow. I've decided that I approve. I'm very keenly aware that the rising tide of my advancing years is hurling me toward the shoals of old fartitude, and that the most conspicuous features of that deadly lee shore are precisely those that summon up the keenest yearning for a vanished past. Fortunately (fortunately? I’m considering here the cultural climate, as perhaps descried from the managerial and professional classes of the day, obtainin...

Slouching Toward Urschleim: June 2016
http://urschleim.blogspot.com/2016_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 1, 2016. 8220;The Day the Earth Caught Fire”. Based on John Wyndham’s novel The Midwich Cuckoos. Was a good example, delivering a ripping yarn, intelligently scripted, with a minimum of elaborate sets or special effects. For pity’s sake! Invasion of the Body Snatchers. The Day the Earth Caught Fire. The title is regrettable, although probably catchier than The Several Weeks Over the Course of Which the Weather Got All Fucked Up and Eventually Much Hotter. The portrayals of the broiling ea...

Slouching Toward Urschleim: July 2015
http://urschleim.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 27, 2015. A couple of weeks ago I, whose organizational chops are not equal to setting up a two-car motorcade, contrived to organize and get through my father's funeral at the San Francisco Presidio National Cemetery. I am astonished that I did not fuck up. The kindness and efficiency of the VA and cemetery officials who were involved in the affair cannot be overstated: the entire family, and I in particular, will be forever grateful for their efforts.

Tuesday, March 10, 2015. The Tempest, 2015. I will not apologize to William Shakespeare since he is, like, long dead:. Full fathom five thy country lies,. Of its wealth are weapons made;. Google’s servers are its eyes,. All thy former rights will fade. Paid for by the Kochs’ spare change:. Plutocrats both rich and strange. CPAC cheers this fresh new hell:. Same way past republics fell. Ka-ching! Labels: Politics and topical. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Links (Other RC blogs). The Tempest, 2015.

Slouching Toward Urschleim: April 2016
http://urschleim.blogspot.com/2016_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 8, 2016. Bobo explains it for us. David Brooks is off his meds again. Well, that’s the charitable explanation for “The Lincoln Caucus”. Today's column by the second-dumbest man ever to hold a regular gig at the NYT. The less charitable explanation is that he knows this is bullshit and published it anyway:. I'm not sure a single hotel room will hold this crowd. You might want to reserve a suite. Please proceed, David. And all fifty of them are right here in this cloakroom! It’s for damn.

Friday, February 19, 2016. Fidgeting in the cheap seats. Edited and expanded from an earlier version). I like me a heaping plateful of schadenfreude. Good times) that leaves Trump and the Trumpistas with a bad case of hemorrhoids, and pitching such a fit as will leave a vast smoldering crater where once the Quicken Loans Arena stood. In my darker moments Trump denialism puts me in mind of those doomed bit players in a summer blockbuster, say, Jurassic Park XVI:. And it says No Trespassing.

Saturday, May 7, 2016. 8220;When the rapture comes, can I have your t-shirt? Uhh…never mind.”. In today’s NYT. By seizing the Republican presidential nomination for Donald J. Trump on Tuesday night, he and his millions of supporters completed what had seemed unimaginable: a hostile takeover of one of America’s two major political parties. Just as stunning was how quickly the host tried to reject them. Labels: Politics and topical. Thursday, May 5, 2016. Going out in stele. May Sin, the bright luminary of...
