While I was posting away a couple of minutes ago, I remembered that Jonas had published some short, sharp analyses during my weeks of silence. So, a couple of links to pieces I appreciated very much:
Torture (But This Time, Not Devised by Good Old Frank Zappa, Unfortunately)
On capitalism and the Obama admin
He’s politically better informed than I am, so read him when you can.
As a final afterthought, I can only say that I feel something close to political Weltschmerz — that a good chance for democracy is going down the drain fast, that hopes were not met with promised action, that a good country will probably suffer more in the future to come. Just the thoughts and feelings that can inspire a slow, sorrowful blues tune. Might write one myself someday.
