because when I went by the editing room yesterday I heard music and I heard people screaming and the editor let me look at the beginning of a film. A group of raging teens on Times Square and then an old lady calmly speaking about the political fight of 1932 - It's a documentary about a fascinating group of people who in the time of a great depression tried to change the world by dancing against poverty and racism and the war of the Nazis. The comparisons to 2008 are quite disturbing and when I hooked up to Salon and read Glenns book presentation - I gladly could agreed with "there cannot be any greater priority, than preventing a John McCain Presidency" and "to put the right-wing leaders under that same microscope and to apply the same standards to them -- the ones used successfully by them and their media allies.
But the statement that "many liberals, Democrats and other opponents of this right-wing faction have been squeamish in the past about engaging these low-life Freak Show tactics, thinking that they can remain above them and they will go away. That has to stop" -- was like dancing with hypocrisy - My father thinks John Stwart can do it but doing it "seriously"??! You have to be tremendously careful not to break your foot. - As Glenn mentioned "the republican party has already broken both of their feet "and they are more unpopular than at any point in the past year. Their party brand has been destroyed by one of the most despised wars ever - but definitely also by their "low-life Freak Show tactics". And as good and optimistic followers of "the messiah" Obama we hope that these "tactics" of "the Limbaugh/Kristol/Fox-News right-wing faction NEVER EVER again will "thrive with ease". And if Obama really gets the nomination we also hope "to enjoy all the media's personality-based glorification" we can get.
And then - we could invite everybody on this blog to dance together. There is "Danse et Resistance" at the Centre National de Dance in Paris this weekend- There is the amazing
and very uplifting history of the New Dance Group to be
"googled" and if by June the "rage" isn't gone we can work it out at the NDG Studio in New York - and i (the daughter) will gladly dance with Glenn!
get a grip on it, dude!
a dirty hippie - so there might be help for you!
dance it off old man - dance it off!
right now i'm doing "weltschmerz" just from Germany - so much for the "time lag" - but we are going to be back in the "homeland" soon.
i also love to play "Cowboys and Indians" and i am really delighted that we finally have a "winning streak". After they poisoned our blankets and send us into the deserts we are back with "gambling" and not even a "Che Pasa" can not stop us now.
But than i saw this sad old Cowboy on a baseball field and i knew right away how it feels - after being in San Antonio and watching Davie Crockett on an Imax screen - and the poor guy ends up in the Alamo.
The only "dude" I hate to play this game with is my dad, because he always cheats. If I say "the media" he says there is no "the media" and if I say my "America" or my "Americans"
he always asks me what part of America and what "Americans"
we are talking about. The only thing he agrees on - is that every American freaks out if you give him the "freedom" to drive on a German "freeway" without a speed limit and he also believes that somebody has sent Bush to America to teach the cowboys sense and sensibility - but "reasonable" people never believe him. As my dad is in Paris now i can tell you - he might be a cowboy too - because his favorite game is to start a pleasant exchange of facts and then he shows up with an "elephant" or a "shooter" - just to irritate me and he does it all on purpose like this media - he says doen't exist.
I'm still growing and I need stability in my life. I want to know what is good and bad and what is up and down and "In and Out" and if you think I'm joking i'm 1/32 of a Paiute - and as the "one drop rule" goes I will be saved - because as the
"messiah" of us "natives" - the grand Wovoka has predicted:
If the Cowboys will not learn their lesson the earth will open up and swallow all of them - and the prairie will come back and the bisons's and Obama!
to include "prox warning" he will be swallowed twice!
-STOP READING THIS BLOG!!- and -no - you should not "post" today - You got a lot of homework to do - and you should not get "addicted" - It's even worst than sweet chewing gums - your nice sharp teeth might rot away!
