A Fear of Cold and Dark

A Fear of Cold and Dark
Sob--you're correct as usual, russl. I have no godgiven right to exist, much less hurl Fanon at whiteys like a snarling, rabid dog. I guess I exist no place, and any work I've done as an activist and thinker is for naught. Guess I'll crawl back to my essentialist, linear, flawed thinking, and try to learn my ABCs, though that might be difficult for a "racist azz bitch" like myself. Sob--hic! Pathetically yrs, Mistuh SDaniels, (he dead!)— November 10, 2009 12:45 p.m.

"Self flattery and pompousness and mean spiritedness you wear well..."Yes I." Look in thy mirror, Goatttfish. You've got me wrong as a Marxist, but your garbled rhetoric has not gone far toward correcting my first impression of you. I'll add that you sound like the self-hating Marxist you are. Dang, a little college went a long way toward feeding your delusions, didn't it? Have fun biting the hand that fed you--and be sure to read sinister racist intent into this small missive, will ya? Now, with no more time for your tomfoolery, I'm off to work on a project--not on an old DEAD white guy, but a YOUNG one. My, aren't I progressive? *smooch*— November 10, 2009 12:30 p.m.

re: #26: Nope, I don't think this person is capable of "playing," even with supervision in the sandbox. re: #25: Huh? Goat3fish, there isn't much to say here to your inarticulate outburst except, I wish you luck --and please, do remember to take your meds.— November 10, 2009 10:54 a.m.
Way To Bridge The Generation Gap
I can barely see the outlines of a whippet in that thing, which looks sadly abused. It looks like that SNL sketch where Akroyd and Martin are dressed up in bulky sweats--"We gonna pump you UP!"— November 10, 2009 9:51 a.m.

As for Pike's ode, let's just say--good form, but he ain't no Keats! ;) That CANNOT BE A WHIPPET!!!!!!— November 10, 2009 8:59 a.m.

And if by some strange mutation, Duhbya, Goat3fish, and Cuddlefish were to parthogenetically combine, we'd have twins: Goatduh and Fishtya O what Caliban has been loosed upon our fair city! Hey Goat3fish, I said "Caliban!" Hopefully you are off hammering at my blogs, but maybe you'll come back and give us a 5 paragraph-er on racist themes in Shakespeare (I can hook you up with two fantastic scholars, btw., one who wrote the definitive thesis on Shylock, and the other Caliban). Stick around buddy! We need voices like yours on this site! :)— November 10, 2009 8:16 a.m.

"Well, then, SD, we are no longer discussing literature, we're discussing philosophy." Not exclusively, nope--unless you are using the term "philosophy" very loosely, as in "philosophy of..." Meaning, philosophy of most of the social sciences, refried. I did my doctoral work in a field called "comparative literature," which is a department heavy in theory deriving from many different fields. All of the humanities and even some of the hard sciences come to roost here, and yes, philosophy, from classical to contemporary, is an integral part of literary theory. GF's 'complaints' should, and most likely are, leveled at society in general. However, it is important to study particulars, and literature serves not only as a performance of and repository of changing aesthetics, but also as a historical record of the ways in which our thinking changes--or doesn't, over time. There is much complex work done on how aesthetics carry out subtextual sociopolitical ideology, and vice versa. You arrived at the right conclusion for King very quickly, gringo ;)— November 9, 2009 5:56 p.m.
Employment Numbers Worse Than Reported, but Main Street's Pain Is Wall Street's Gain
re: #35: ""Pearl necklace" may have some kind of a shocking, secret meaning." Yes, I hear it's a real "choker."— November 9, 2009 5:32 p.m.
