I have been wrong about 2020’s presidential election and I
should say so. I had expected that by the end of Super Tuesday (March 3rd
this time around), we would see a Democratic party race reduced to no more than
four serious contenders: Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and one or two
centrists aiming for the neoliberal vote, the old Clinton coalition that has
not won a presidential </atom:summary><link>https://ronsilliman.blogspot.com/2019/12/i-have-been-wrong-about-2020s.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QVIjaohYoNA/XfZNSbwh8wI/AAAAAAAAKMw/7qhgMr8ul5cuOqlOkjoySr24SvSOxy1owCLcBGAsYHQ/s72-c/Nov%2B3%2B2020.jpg" height="72" width="72"/></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3738579.post-4684992075812629202</guid><pubDate>Sun, 10 Nov 2019 17:28:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2019-11-10T12:28:08.120-05:00</atom:updated><title></title><atom:summary type="text">








We only saw the after-effects of one Catalan
independence rally when we were in Barcelona last month, though there had been
a wilder one the day we arrived (easy to spot demos at a distance by the police
helicopters overhead). The one we saw had the feel of a crowd exiting a stadium
after the home team has won an important game, hundreds heading out homeward or

Bob Dylan’s Eyes





The films by or about Bob Dylan are every bit as strange,
unique, intimate &amp; evasive, as he is and Martin Scorsese’s Rolling Thunder Review: A Bob Dylan
Story, streaming now on Netflix, is no exception, blending documentary footage Dylan had
taken during the famous 1974-6 tour with more than a few fictional add-ons from
the likes of Sharon Stone, Kipper Kid Martin von</atom:summary><link>https://ronsilliman.blogspot.com/2019/07/bob-dylans-eyes-films-by-or-about-bob.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BNLpSI5P47g/XRqApyJHCnI/AAAAAAAAI6I/YSNL7HHhunwF5_dB184Jh60b3e30c7JKQCLcBGAs/s72-c/dylans%2Beyes.jpg" height="72" width="72"/></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3738579.post-2331726714918450328</guid><pubDate>Wed, 08 May 2019 22:59:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2019-05-08T18:59:48.497-04:00</atom:updated><title></title><atom:summary type="text">

Some Limits of Space



Spatial
metaphors can be useful in providing a visual frame for any activity. To think
outside the box, you need a box. But problems occur if the shape of your vessel
is not congruent with whatever you hope to insert into it: square peg, round
hole, etc. Two of these mismatches have scratching at the blackboard of my soul
of late, so I thought to raise them here.

The Real Race for the Democratic Nomination



The need to
replace the Fascist-in-Chief is so desperate that the race for the Democratic
nomination carries a sense of urgency that I cannot recall in any of the
presidential campaigns to which I’ve paid heed, basically back to 1960.  There are presently 20 contestants running for
the nomination with the possibility of a few more who could still </atom:summary><link>https://ronsilliman.blogspot.com/2019/04/the-real-race-for-democratic-nomination.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3738579.post-8980419315968268293</guid><pubDate>Tue, 02 Apr 2019 12:29:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2019-04-02T08:29:26.881-04:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Events</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Readings</category><title></title><atom:summary type="text">

I was a no vote, even though I
enthusiastically support Bernie in his campaign for the presidency in 2020. But
I also support Elizabeth Warren (and would have supported Sherrod Brown, had he
run). And &amp; and I would have supported Barbara Lee over any of them had my
former Congressperson decided to run. But I felt that the either/or choice

The Oscars as
always are a mixed bag, often better for the couture
than for the films that grab the gold. The
Green Book was not a dreadful film and it may well pass the ten-year test,
making the cable movie channel rounds a decade from now. But the Driving Mr Shirley plotline,
cringe-worthy ending around the Christmas tree, and Viggo Mortenson’s noble (failed)

Multitudes



Walt Whitman often
is characterized as an apotheosis of the American cult of individualism with Song of Myself presented as exhibit A –
Stephen Mitchell, for example, writes

Certainly the poem embodies an outrageous
egotism, an “I” so shamelessly naked that even a bodhisattva can admire it&lt;!--[if !supportFootnotes]--&gt;[i]&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;,

but I hear something different. It
