Blurry Books: oh yeah, I forgot
http://blurrybooks.blogspot.com/2011/03/oh-yeah-i-forgot.html
Words and Pix by Michael Rosenthal. Wednesday, March 9, 2011. Oh yeah, I forgot. Spent the morning at MoMA, checking out Picasso's guitars. I noticed that the newspapers collaged into the first couple of constructions had headlines about violence - a murder or such. As best as my eyesight, flexibility and inferior French can make out, almost all of the newspapers were cut up to include violent stories, especially about the conflicts that would lead up to World War I.

Blurry Books: Franzen, Freedom, Corrections
http://blurrybooks.blogspot.com/2011/04/franzen-freedom-corrections.html
Words and Pix by Michael Rosenthal. Wednesday, April 13, 2011. Franzen, Freedom, Corrections. Jonathan Franzen is way overhyped. I thought The Corrections was pretty much the minimum of what a decently-regarded book should be, not an exemplar of the best being written. What a lot of hurt and hope and tenderness there. But it's always narrated rather than written. Tired adage about showing, not telling.). OK, there it is, ha ha, how frustrating. But why not strip the explanation away:. Maybe Franzen's gif...

Ten have lost. Slatecom and washingtonpost.com]. If she runs in 2012, and I think that "if" is looking weaker and weaker, she'll have tons and tons of advertising and astroturf support, thanks to oil infrastructure billionaires. And the Citizens United victory in the Supreme Court. Links to this post. I was dea...

Blurry Books: different stuff, same bucket?
http://blurrybooks.blogspot.com/2011/02/different-stuff-same-bucket.html
Words and Pix by Michael Rosenthal. Wednesday, February 23, 2011. Different stuff, same bucket? Two (at least) interesting developments in the rollout of Obama 2012: the Justice Dept will stop defending DOMA against constitutional challenges (yay, gay people, and lesbian people, and straight people, and bi-people, and trans- and cis-gendered persons of all kinds! If I love Firedoglake that much, I should just go and marry it, and maybe someday I will. It is always a good thing to read anything by Hugh.

Blurry Books: October 2010
http://blurrybooks.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Words and Pix by Michael Rosenthal. Wednesday, October 27, 2010. Those best beloved books. About a year and a half ago, I had to tear up my apartment to undo a scourge of bedbugs. I also got rid of my wooden captain's bed and the monkey puzzle of wooden bookcases piled one upon another that had threatened to topple and kill me at any given moment of the previous thirty years, preferably while I was sleeping. Anything of resale value was contributed to Housing Works. So I sifted through the masses one mor...
