Thursday, September 4, 2008. I have trouble watching the Republicans. I have trouble watching the Republicans running down Obama. They never discuss the issues: the national debt, the financial crisis, the falling dollar, the decreasing incomes and increasing costs of living for most Americans, our overextended military. Instead, they talk about Obama's lack of experience, ignoring how he exceeds his jaded opponents in wisdom, compassion and insight. It is not surprising that they do this. But I have...

postmodern dilettante: December 2008
http://postmoderndilettante.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 1, 2008. Dear Frankie' and the Masculine Principle (a la Gerard Butler). 2004) is another of my Netflix pics. My husband and I were on the outs so he really didn't want to watch it with me. But he did anyway. Such a sport! But at the same time we learn about Frankie's correspondence with his absent dad we find out that his mom is behind the letters from dad. She rents a post office box in a town a bus ride away where she picks up the letters Frankie writes to his dad. Well, actually Gera...

Friday, November 7, 2008. Tuke didn't lose; Tennessee did. Most voters saw me from their cars as they passed by to park in the closest parking spaces. Most smiled and nodded to me. Some on foot called to me from a distance to comment on the pretty weather. A few gave me the thumbs up or pointed out their Obama signs or bumper stickers. One voter, a woman, brought a poll worker outside after she voted and motioned towards me. When he came towards me I asked, 'Is there a problem.' He assured me tha...Well,...

Sunday, November 30, 2008. Himalaya vs. Michael Clayton. I subscribe to Netflix because it seems to be the only way I can watch the foreign films, documentaries and independent films that I enjoy. I rarely enjoy American films being made today. My husband is always fussing at me because I never order the newer films. He likes action and newness though he usually watches my films with me and seems to enjoy them. One we watched together was Himalaya. This brings me to the film Michael Clayton. 2003), the T...

Wednesday, October 8, 2008. Dear Cremomma.Please forgive me. Dear cremomma, we certainly are coming from different places aren't we? Showed that he recognized and respected my heart. What my heart was feeling was this:. The amazement and pride all of us Obama supporters had in seeing each other for the first time in such unexpected numbers in a state which our own governor has written off for McCain. John Rich risks nothing in this song. And I am forced to wonder what kind of songs he would be writin...

Wednesday, January 27, 2010. Bredesen's higher ed plan: A good idea? Am I the only one who sees the possiblity that under this kind of budgetary blackmail educators will be forced to dumb down curricula to produce greater numbers of graduates? But what’s really behind the high graduation rates in other states? For example, how much do they spend on elementary and high school education? How about a comparison of graduation rates in states with an income tax and those with no income tax? What about a compa...

Thursday, October 16, 2008. Soros: Denmark Offers a Model Mortgage Market. Here is a safe way to securitize home loans. The American system of mortgage financing is broken and needs a total overhaul. Until there is a raealistic prospect of stabilizing housing prices, the value of mortgage-related securities will erode and Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson's efforts will come to naught. There are four fundamental problems with our current system of mortgage financing. Third, mortgage-backed securitizations...

Monday, May 12, 2008. Mama, oh Mama. Mama had huge hazel eyes that caught the light when she looked around the room. This gave her an expression of alarm unless she was laughing or smiling. She probably wasn't smiling when she said that about Daddy. I imagine that she was reliving her life there on her deathbed and thinking how he had totally changed her life in ways she could not have imagined in the years before she met him.

Wednesday, October 22, 2008. Surfing: an old dilettante's adventure. Somewhere recently I read that surfing the internet is good for old people because it stimulates their brains. Or something to that effect. It can also be a way of getting drowned, losing one's way (or mind) or feeling overwhelmed. My husband would add "wasting time" to the previously mentioned bad outcomes. But let's stick to the positive. An insolent expression some think but a good way to cut to the chase; how about 'Well, anyhow?
