 Unconscious Henchmen


Parishioners know I love


a good conspiracy

lashings of philosophy

and a soupçon (yes, 'Tish...) of politics.


This story seems to have 'em all!

Leo Strauss (29k image)

It seems that the new Bad Guys - The Neo-Cons ("one of the top ten gangs of the millennium")

are rather influenced by the Jewish German refugee philosophy professor and "conservative mastermind" Leo Strauss.


I love the idea that it's not what he actually wrote

but the secret message behind what he wrote

that is so influential - esoteric writing!



The usual suspects are wheeled out

but Robert Kagan knows nussink!

Kagan Aloft! (19k image)


PS: Doesn't Strauss remind you of Karl Haas?

 The Israel Lobby


If ever I would stop thinkin' about religion & politics...
I might get some sleep.

This took me a few days to wade through

and I share the rewards.

The Israel Lobby
by John Mearsheimer

Mearsheimer (27k image)

and Stephen Walt

Stephen Walt (30k image)


From Wikipedia's entry on Mearsheimer:

John Mearsheimer is the leading proponent of a branch of realism called offensive realism. Offensive realism is a structural theory which, unlike the classical realism of Morgenthau, blames security conflict on the anarchy of the international system, not on human nature. In contrast another structural realist theory, the defensive realism of Waltz, offensive realism believes that states are not satisfied with a given amount of power, but seek hegemony for security. Mearsheimer summed this view up in The Tragedy of Great Power Politics:

Given the difficulty of determining how much power is enough for today and tomorrow, great powers recognize that the best way to ensure their security is to achieve hegemony now, thus eliminating any possibility of a challenge by another great power. Only a misguided state would pass up an opportunity to become hegemon in the system because it thought it already had sufficient power to survive.

 Good Things Come To A Beginning


There has been much ado, Parishioners,

about the influence of "bloggers"

on The Social Perspective;™ [that's "ampersandnospacetradenospacesemicolon", 'Tish...]

*

What I would like to add is that

the media that has previously dictated to volk how they must behave

but now we have a much larger palette to drink from...


AUTHORITAH!

has been supplanted

by Teh Luvverly Innaweb...

this is not P Diddy - this is Bobby Fischer!

ANYWAY -

the way it works here:

A rumour drifts around


firms up (thanks to interest)

and gains a little momentum.


Conflate, confabulate, conjugate


Hell;

spin it out -

every little bit helps!


The Supermercado Project


has found the original video!

Props! [what are props?]

So what happened when the World's Horniest Man met Whitney Houston?

(the translations are also funny because they are WRONG!)


Parishioners are encouraged to donate shots

& teach me how to capture this video...

corn - corn...


*

AND NOW IT'S TURKISH NANNY

& everything is

aaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhttttttttt...........................................

 Begin the day with Anger


I begin the day with Anger -

how DARE they do this to me?!


I sulk

and think


this ALWAYS happens to me...


*


my dreams are in Tokyo;

wooden floored bars,

a brass rail for my boot

Good People.


*

Excuse me; I hope I'm not interrupting anything?


I never seem to be

I am truly pleased to meet you


*

memories of then

are better than now


*

and now it's gone




happy again

 The Struggle for the Adriatic


Brother T has alerted me
to the alleged superiority of the Italians over the Greeks -

I would have thought that this proved it once & for all -

but I did a little more research...


a pornstar & a mafioso in parliament,

Dino Paul Crocetti,

His Majesty: Dean Martin

Dean Martin: wine drinker

total corruption/commercialisation of both church & state,

The Pope: Joseph Ratzinger

 Harlot & Ma


Norman Kingsley Mailer (born January 31, 1923) is an American writer and, along with Truman Capote, is considered an innovator of Creative nonfiction.

Creative nonfiction is a genre of literature, also known as literary journalism and narrative journalism, which uses literary skills in the writing of nonfiction.

Bob Woodward of the Washington Post is also noted for his skills at narrative nonfiction

P. J. O'Rourke is a humorous nonfiction writer with political interests

John Angus McPhee is an author whose works reflect his oft-eclectic interests including oranges, Bill Bradley and Alaska.

Gay Talese wrote "Frank Sinatra Has A Cold", one of the finest examples of journalistic nonfiction.

John Sack covered, among other battles, the one for Old Baldy

Tim O'Brien One attribute unique to O'Brien's work is the blur between fiction and reality

It is not uncommon for many prominent creative nonfiction works to even be published directly, or be adaptations of one's own work for industriously ethical publications like The New Yorker (for example, Truman Capote's In Cold Blood, or Susan Orlean's The Orchid Thief).

Yo-Yo Ma (born October 7, 1955!) is a world-famous-French-born-Chinese-American-cellist.

His main performance instrument is a very fine Montagnana cello, "Petunia", from Venice, made in 1733, which he once absentmindedly left in a taxi cab in New York.

He also owns a cello made by American luthier firm Moes & Moes, and has a carbon-fiber cello made by Boston firm Luis & Clark. [ha!]

 Turkish Nanny Eats Sushi


It's been a while, Parishioners;
and I have a few things to catch up on.

I wish, I wish I wish I wish

First of all

Turkish Nanny eats sushi -
eats the plastic prawn ornament
then overdoses on wasabi -

what did you expect?

She were MY nanny!
