Bob Herbert: Bigotry in black
2008-08-02 23:26:00 Bob Herbert, New York Times, attempts to slime John McCain, only to show his true and bigoted colors: The racial fantasy factor in this presidential campaign is out of control. It was at work in that New Yorker cover that caused such a stir. (Mr. Obama in Muslim garb with the American flag burning in the fireplace.) It’s driving the idea that Barack Obama is somehow presumptuous, too arrogant, too big for his britches — a man who obviously does not know his place. Mr. Obama has to endure these grotesque insults with a smile and heroic levels of equanimity. The reason he has to do this — the sole reason — is that he is black. Well Herbert is right, half right. The race card is bieng played but its being played by Barack Obama. From a recent BO campaign rally in Florida, as attributed by Ed Morrissey, Hot Air Protester: So my question is: In the face of the numerous attacks that are made against the African community or the black community, by the same US government that y...

Exculpa a Alfredo Bryce de Plagio de obra de Herbert Morote
2008-05-28 05:56:00 El Instituto de Defensa de la Propiedad Intelectual (Indecopi), confirmó la resolución que declara infundada la denuncia de plagio presentada por Herbert Morote Rebolledo contra el escritor Alfredo Bryce relativa a la obra “Pero… ¿Tiene el Perú Salvación?” Según el Indecopi, Morote no presentó evidencias suficientes y determinantes que demuestren que su colega, Alfredo Bryce efectivamente plagió dicha por lo que la Sala de Propiedad declaró el caso infundado.Para tomar esta decisión, sostiene la entidad, la Sala evaluó la prueba que presentó Morote, la cual no confirmó fehacientemente el plagio. El denunciante remitió a la Sala los correos electrónicos que intercambió con Bryce, en los que le solicita opinión sobre su creación, pero en ninguno de estos se incluye el texto original de la obra “Pero… ¿Tiene el Perú Salvación?”, escrito por Morote, agrega.Además, precisa el Indecopi, el denunciante ofreció la declaración jurada de cuatro amigos suyos...

2008-05-17 20:58:00 Albert Herbert (1925-2008)Jonah Arrives at Nineveh 2004Oil on canvas20 x 24 inchesPrivate collection Albert Herbert ( 1925-2008) painter and teacher died on May 10th, 2008."Always interested in mysticism, Herbert converted finally to Roman Catholicism, though remaining on an intellectual level fascinated by Buddhism in particular. All this soon showed in his art, with his gradual adoption of religious and mythical subjects, which he saw as an important link between himself and a possibly uncomprehending public. ...Finally arriving at his mature style, he continued to paint primarily biblical subjects, both Old and New Testament, in what one might call a sophisticated primitive style, much influenced by his intense interest in children?s art.And as representational art gradually crept back into favour, fashion finally began to catch up with him, culminating in an extensive and impressive retrospective at the gallery England & Co in Notting Hill in 2004.At last people could unders...

Saturday Night Live: Bob Herbert article: worth repeating
2008-05-12 03:16:00 Saturday Night Live said what a lot of people have been thinking - that Hillary Clinton is dividing America along racial lines with her ill advised comments. Behind the satire of the Amy Poehler skit there is more than a grain of truth.In an interview with USA Today, Clinton said:" ... Sen. Obama's support among hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again ... whites in both states (Indiana and N.Carolina) who had not completed college were supporting me."Clinton supporter Rep Charles Rangel described it as "the dumbest thing she could have said."On SNL Amy Poehler did a good Clinton impersonation. In giving reasons why she would make the better president, Poehler's Clinton said "I am a sore loser ... I would probably refuse to campaign for him." Another reason ... "my supporters are racist."Check out the video clip at this link.A Bob Herbert article in the New York Times - "Seeds of Destruction" - is a must read.Herbert quotes Clinton's 'white American' comment...

Corner Boy - Herbert Simmons
2008-05-11 06:58:00 I was looking at my bookshelf and all the books gathering dust. It funny the way we hoard stuff for the sake of it, as once read I never pick these books up again. I figured I would start re-visiting some of the books I have read over the years. The other night I got my copy of Herbert Simmons Corner Boy down and started to read it. Corner Boy was Herbert Simmons first novel and won the prestigious 1957 Houghton Mifflen Literary Fellowship. I would imagine a novel that encompassed drugs, poverty, racism and race mixing written by a then only 26 year old black man was a fairly controversial choice for the time. 5 years later Simmons second novel Man Walking on Eggshells was released to critical acclaim unfortunately influential people in both the power elite and amongst the black community managed to put pressure on the publisher and “upstart” Simmons found his second novel effectively buried. Aged just 31 and having written two “Great American novels”, Simmon...

John McCain = Herbert Hoover?
2008-03-19 19:53:00 First there’s this quote from Bloomberg about why Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are having their surplus capital requirements eased: The worst housing slump since the Great Depression is being exacerbated by the limited ability of Americans to get mortgages or refinance loans amid tightened standards at money-losing banks. Then this uplifting tidbit from Reuters: Democrat Barack Obama’s big national lead over Hillary Clinton has all but evaporated in the U.S. presidential race, and both Democrats trail Republican John McCain, according a Reuters/Zogby poll released on Wednesday. Given that McCain sees himself as another war president, and blithely dismisses the economic problems of our country as beneath his interest, what can we expect? I suspect that if the unthinkable happens and Johnny War Hero wins in November, we’re about to see a guy earn himself an unenviable place in American history - McCain may well find himself the next Herbert Hoover.

George Herbert: "The Flower"
2008-02-27 12:00:00 Today in the Anglican calendar we commemorate George Herbert, one of the great 17th-century metaphysical poets (1593-1633). According to the thumbnail bio at The Daily Office, he spent most of his short life as an humble and well-loved parish priest in a village near Salisbury, England. His reputation rests on a single book of poems, The Temple, that was published after his death by his friend Nicholas Ferrar. Below, his poem "The Flower" testifies to the dizzying emotional highs and lows of the spiritual life and how God's constancy alone brings peace. I find it comforting that even a great Christian poet like Herbert had the same struggle for equanimity as the rest of us.The Flower H-ow fresh, O Lord, how sweet and clean Are thy returns! even as the flowers in spring; - To which, besides their own demean, The late-past frosts tributes of pleasures bring. &-nbsp; Grief melts away ...

Hillary on the High Road? By BOB HERBERT
2008-02-24 06:39:00 (reprinted from the New York Times February 23, 2008)A referee would stop the fight. Hillary Clinton is exhausted, and her supporters are becoming increasingly demoralized. The candidate who tried to present herself as inevitable has been out-maneuvered nearly every step of the way by a prodigy with a warm and brilliant smile who still seems as energetic as an athlete doing calisthenics before a big game.Texas and Ohio and several other states still have to vote. But there was a wistful quality and a strong hint of resignation in Senator Clinton’s voice at the end of the debate Thursday night when, after saying she was “honored to be here with Barack Obama,” she added:“Whatever happens, we’re going to be fine. We have strong support from our families and our friends. I just hope that we’ll be able to say the same thing about the American people.”Mrs. Clinton said later that she had not become pessimistic about her chances to win the democratic presidential nomination. ...

Herbert Marcuse
2008-01-16 10:45:00 You might want to check out the following documentary about Herbert Marcuse. Personally, I am a great admirer of him and what he has accomplished as a provocative thinker and lifetime activist (along with other thinkers of the Frankfurt School).BIO: Herbert Marcuse was born in Berlin on July 19,1898. After completing his Ph.D. thesis at the University of Freiburg in 1922, he moved to Berlin, where he worked in the book trade. He returned to Freiburg in 1929 to write a habilitation (professor's dissertation) with Martin Heidegger. In 1933, since he would not be allowed to complete that project under the Nazis, Herbert began work at the Frankfurt Institute for Social Research, a Marxist-oriented think-tank (as we might say today).He emigrated from Germany that same year, going first to Switzerland, then the United States, where he became a citizen in 1940. During World War II he worked for the US Office of Strategic Services (forerunner of the CIA), analyzing intelligence reports abo...

Herbert Bayer
2008-01-13 19:34:00 Bayer apprenticed under the artist Georg Schmidthammer in Linz. Leaving the workshop to study at the Darmstadt Artists’ Colony, he became interested in Walter Gropius’s Bauhaus manifesto. After Bayer had studied for four years at the Bauhaus under such teachers as Wassily Kandinsky and László Moholy-Nagy, Gropius appointed Bayer director of printing and advertising. Charting Space In the spirit of reductive minimalism, Bayer developed a crisp visual style and adopted use of all-lowercase, sans serif typefaces for most Bauhaus publications. Bayer is one of several typographers of the period including Kurt Schwitters and Jan Tschichold who experimented with the creation of a simplified more phonetic-based alphabet. Bayer idesigned the 1925 geometric sans-serif typeface, universal, now issued in digital form as Architype Bayer which bears comparison with the stylistically related typeface Architype Schwitters. In 1928, Bayer left the Bauhaus to become art director of Vog...

He said: ?Our forecast is for moderate, but positive, growth going forward.? He said: ?Economists are extremely bad at predicting turning points, and we don?t pretend to be any better.? He said: ?We have not calculated the probability of recession, and I wouldn?t want to offer that today.?W...

If you have missed them I feel sorry for you because you have missed a revolution in the party and a revolution in British politics.

2007-07-05 22:51:00 Blogger, The Unknown Candidate posted a June 16th Bob Herbert column from The New York Times. A great piece about the Northeastern University labor study that found, "the national teen employment rate averaged only 33.1 percent, tying for the lowest employment rate in the past 60 years." Herbert writes, A steady job could make all the difference. Along with the paycheck comes a sense of the possibilities. Kids develop a clearer understanding of the value of education and are more likely to stay in school. The heightened sense of self-worth that comes from gainful employment can be a bulwark against negative peer pressure. Contacts are made and a work history established.
