Memo from the Fringes. Arts and culture, politics, current affairs, the occasional sports rant. Old Burke; and a memo from the editorial desk. I thought of the widespread criticism of Obama policy, e.g., on the eononomy and health care, for not going far enough when I came across this passage by Edmund Burke, then a member of Parliament, in a letter to a constituent written 23 April 1778:. Memo from the editorial desk. I am just returned to Portland after a delightful Friday-Monday weekend in San Francis...

Memo from the Fringes: December 2009

http://matthewsonthefringes.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html

Memo from the Fringes. Arts and culture, politics, current affairs, the occasional sports rant. New Year's Eve looking back. I closed out 2009 with one last run in the rain and the dark and was exhilarated. As Jacques Derrida said of deconstruction, it is in some sense a pleasurable experience. In the evening I read from the 2009 journals, listened to Edith Piaf, and enjoyed an inexpensive Italian red wine I pick up at Trader Joe's. Can I write poems when my spirit is unable to soar? As I headed up to Co...

Memo from the Fringes. Arts and culture, politics, current affairs, the occasional sports rant. Maybe I can get a run in." — Harry Pfarrer. Okay, I'm a little self-conscious about saying, "Maybe I can get a run in," after seeing Burn After Reading. Malkovich gets to chew up some scenery as the outré Cox, Swinton plays the bitch in spades, Clooney and Pitt are clueless doofuses, and McDormand is a woman on a mission to be all the woman she can be, but they fail to engage us sufficiently to evoke the willi...

Memo from the Fringes. Arts and culture, politics, current affairs, the occasional sports rant. Scribbles from the Journal. I do not know that it is so much a fresh vision I seek as a fresh way to express the vision that endures — the romantic theme of the restorative and redemptive capacity of art, a sense of the sublime, the surrealist trinity of love, freedom, and the marvelous, determination to remain open to hope and possibility. Posted by David Matthews. Why does what matters matter? I recently pic...
