Papered Over
Yeah, I’m currently sunk in a vast morass of work. More commentary on responding to Fundamentalisms creatively once i’m back in the land of the living.
Also, send love to your Union Rep if you have one, for they are good and helpful people. If you don’t, consider organizing your workplace.

Well. Hmm.
Apparently, someone had a reaction to my piece on the Edwards blogger mess. And didn’t bother to leave a comment. Thanks! I’ll be returning the favor.
Pardon me while I roll my eyes for effect.
I knew that piece wasn’t a total package, and that it relied quite heavily on readers […]

Viaticum
Everything that happens, happens twice or more. Every journey, some one has taken those steps before. I’m watching my life play back over itself, and I couldn’t be more scared. Everything that had been catching my breath down in the depths of my throat has come to reside with me again. […]

Why you just got schooled
I have sat back and watched with bemused detachment the grand saga of the Edwards bloggers. I really do like Melissa’s writing, and I feel quite bad that she got dragged through this…so don’t get me wrong. As for Amanda, consider me a well wisher, in that I do not wish her any […]

I love this town
I am having a double espresso across the room from the Green Party candidate for MN 64A in the last election.
I am barely resisting the urge to heckle.

what i’m writing instead
I’m just not blogging at the moment.
Reason One is a good one…i’m writing pieces on Minneapolis/St. Paul before i head back. I’ve got some guest blogging to do, and I’d like to actually, you know, have things written.
Reason Two is a good one, too. I’m writing sermonesque pieces, on account that I talked […]

Great Euphemisms in American History
The following phrase occurred to me while I was in chapel the other day. I present it now, in the theme of circumlocution.

Not for food, anyway…
As Belle referenced way back when…this is a fine Monty Python moment, and some excellent commentary on ideology to boot. I’d actually write, but i’m on break and my brain decided to check out.

You sure about that?
As we have seen time and time again, two things happen whenever anyone “transgressively” redefines beauty (or sex, or femininity, or motherhood, or anything else popularly believed to be the purview of women). One, the transgressive redefinition only transpires when there is money to be made and flesh to exploit. Two, although it represents only […]
