• Anyone catch the Democratic National Convention? Luckily I was able to catch it while up at the lake this week. I was pretty impressed with Kerry's speech last night. Here's the full text of the speech (user/ password: grrrlmeets).
  

And let me say it plainly: In that cause, and in this campaign, we welcome people of faith. America is not us and them. I think of what Ron Reagan said of his father a few weeks ago and I want to say this to you tonight: I don't wear my religion on my sleeve. But faith has given me values and hope to live by, from Vietnam to this day, from Sunday to Sunday. I don't want to claim that God is on our side. As Abraham Lincoln told us, I want to pray humbly that we are on God's side.

And whatever our faith, one belief should bind us all: The measure of our character is our willingness to give of ourselves for others and for our country.

• Speaking of the DNC, I thought it was interesting that Kerry played up the setting of the actual convention. He kept emphasizing how this city acted as the birthplace for much of our country's revolutionary history. I think this is interesting mainly when I think of where the Republican National Convention is next month -- New York City. I can hear the pleas of the president and his cronies, reminding us all of the September 11th tragedy, and how we need to keep this "war president" in power. It's going to make me sick, I can tell already.

• But until then, check out the Daily Show's comparison of convention locales: "Would you rather pahk yaw cahr in Hahvahd or get the %*&# out of my #@$-damn spot? Take a look at our in-depth analysis of Boston vs. New York." Only here can you have the answers to the best biggest infectious outbreak of the year or the biggest problem with protestors.

Now my belief is that this poet who never wrote a word and was buried at the crossroads still lives. She lives in you and in me, and in many other women who are not here tonight, for they are washing up the dishes and putting the children to bed. But she lives; for great poets do not die; they are continuing presences; they need only the opportunity to walk among us in the flesh. . . . For my belief is that if we live another century or so . . . and have five hundred a year each of us and rooms of our own; if we have the habit of freedom and the courage to write exactly what we think . . . then . . . the dead poet who was Shakespeare's sister will put on the body she has so often laid down.

A Room of One's Own
Virginia Woolf

[...] If passions over the U.S. presidential race are at boiling point back home, they may be even higher abroad, where many Americans say they experience firsthand the ramifications of President Bush's foreign policies. Whether they approve of those policies or not, by all accounts, U.S. citizens overseas are registering in greater numbers than ever before, hoping their vote can make a difference in an election both sides say may be the most crucial in modern American history.

More than three months before the elections, Democrats Abroad, the group for which Miara works, claims it has helped register 8,000 American voters in Britain. In the 2000 contest between Bush and Al Gore and Bush, the group registered fewer than 7,000 U.S. citizens. Worldwide, it is setting similar records, according to Frances Deak, 68, who has lived in Britain for 23 years and is in charge of the organization's global efforts. Republicans also expect to see an increase in interest among expatriate voters.

"They're lucky we're not a state," Deak says of Americans living outside the USA. If they were, expatriate Americans could make up the 13th-largest. While the number of U.S. citizens living abroad is not officially tallied, estimates range from 3 million to 7 million. It is believed that about 250,000 live in Britain. That makes the United Kingdom third to Mexico and Canada as the foreign country most populated by Americans.

'Expats feel estranged'

Two million to 3 million expatriates are eligible voters, says Steven Hill, senior analyst for the non-partisan Center for Voting and Democracy in San Francisco. The race is expected to be so tight in some states, such as Ohio, that expats could help determine the victor.

[...] "A lot of times, expats feel estranged from life in the United States," Taylor says. "But we have a unique point of view of our country that needs to be heard because we are confronted daily with the effects of U.S policies abroad."

The harrowingly narrow 2000 elections appear to have dispelled expats' notions of estrangement. The Florida race, which Bush won by a razor-thin margin of 537 votes to claim the presidency, may have been decided by absentee overseas ballots. Dramatizing the impact of the expat vote even further was the controversy over military ballots that arrived postmarked beyond the acceptable deadline but were counted anyway, according to Hill. Analysis has shown that if not for the overseas absentee ballots, Gore would have won by 202 votes.

Drinkable Krispy Kremes

NEW YORK - Once the fried dough embodiment of hot and fresh, Krispy Kreme has transformed its original glazed doughnut into a new frozen beverage for summer.

The chain introduced a new line of frozen drinks Wednesday, including frozen original kreme -- a drinkable version of the company's signature doughnut -- raspberry, latte and double chocolate.

Customers can also add coffee to the kreme and double chocolate.

It goes like this, we have no choice; the minarets,
The wailing voice
And vaguely Celtic music fills the air
We choose a foreigner to hate,
The new Iraq gets more irate
We really know nothing about them, and no one cares
Aladdin and the forty thieves
Enhanced by brand new special effects
Saddam and his cow disease spiced up
With some gratuitous sex
A movie's made, a war is won
A low-speed chase, a smoking gun
Distracts us while the actor takes the stand

Buy buy buy buy
Sell sell sell
How well you learn
To not discern
Who's foe and who is friend
We'll own them all in the end

Somewhere out in space there was a planet where all people would be born again. They would be fully aware of the life they had spent on earth and of all the experience they had amassed here.

And perhaps there was still another planet, where we would all be born a third time with the experience of our first two lives.

And perhaps there were yet more and more planets, where mankind would be born one degree (one life) more mature.

That was Tomas's version of eternal return.

Of course we here on earth (planet number one, the planet of inexperience) can only fabricate vague fantasies of what will happen to man on those other planets. Will he be wiser? Is maturity within man's power? Can he attain it through repetition?

Only from the perspective of such a utopia is it possible to use the concepts of pessimism and optimism with full justification: an optimist is someone who thinks that on planet number five the history of mankind will be less bloody. A pessimist is one who thinks otherwise.

This flash video has got to be the funniest 2004 political cartoon yet.  It's a parody of "This Land is Your Land" -- and it takes shots on both sides. 

Go download it now. Fair warning, it's so popular that the site is a little farked up -- so start downloading it when you have some time on your hands to let it finish.  It took me about 10 minutes to completely download it -- but it was well worth it, trust me.

If you're especially geeky, you can save lots of time and download this file and then open it with Macromedia's Flash player or some equivalent.

But if you're like the rest of us, while you're patiently waiting for it to finish downloading, you can go put some words in Bush's mouth at this fun flash site.

Or you can go watch Bush act like Veruca Salt, along with a rousing Corporation-esque Ooompa Loompa song rendition.

Hi Becky,

Since A. has been keeping us cool with his window air-conditioner, I've had no use of mine. I have an old 1980s-era window A/C that works really well that I'm not using.

I noticed that your house is very hot (thanks to the picture on your blog). Did you want to borrow this old A/C for the rest of the summer? I seem to recall you saying you were going to be moving, but I can't remember for when that was.

It's up for grabs if you want to use it. It's just sitting in my basement collecting dust.

When we want to give expression to a dramatic situation in our lives, we tend to use metaphors of heaviness. We say that something has become a great burden to us. We either bear the burden or fail and go down with it, we struggle with it, win or lose. And Sabina -- what had come over her? Nothing. She had left a man because she felt like leaving him. Had he persecuted her? Had he tried to take revenge on her? No. Her drama was a drama not of heaviness but of lightness. What fell to her lot was not the burden but the unbearable lightness of being.

Until that time, her betrayals had filled her with excitement and joy, because they opened up new paths to new adventures of betrayal. But what if the paths came to an end? One could betray one's parents, husband, country, love, but when parents, husband, country, and love were gone -- what was left to betray?

Sabina felt emptiness all around her. What if that emptiness was the goal of her betrayals?

Naturally she had not realized it until now. How could she have? The goals we pursue are always veiled. A girl who longs for marriage longs for something she knows nothing about. The boy who hankers after fame has no idea what fame is. The thing that gives our every move its meaning is always unknown to us. Sabina was unaware of the goal that lay behind her longing to betray. The unbearable lightness of being -- was that the goal?

-- The Unbearable Lightness of Being
Milan Kundera

Our day-to-day life is bombarded with fortuities, or, to be more precise, with the accidental meetings of people and events we call coincidences. "Co-incidence" means that two events unexpectedly happen at the same time, they meet: Tomas appears in the hotel restaurant at the same time the radio is playing Beethoven. We do not even notice the great majority of such coincidences. If the seat Tomas occupied had been occupied instead by the local butcher, Tereza never would have noticed that the radio was playing Beethoven (though the meeting of Beethoven and the butcher would also have been an interesting coincidence). But her nascent love inflamed her sense of beauty, and she would never forget that music. Whenever she heard it, she would be touched. Everything going on around her at that moment would be haloed by the music and take on its beauty.

Dreaming is not merely an act of communication (or coded communication, if you like); it is also an aesthetic activity, a game of the imagination, a game that is a value in itself. Our dreams prove that to imagine -- to dream about things that have not happened -- is among mankind's deepest needs. Herein lies the danger. If dreams were not beautiful, they would quickly be forgotten.

Anyone whose goal is "something higher" must expect some day to suffer vertigo. What is vertigo? Fear of falling? Then why do we feel it even when the observation tower comes equipped with a sturdy handrail? No, vertigo is something other than the fear of falling. It is the voice of emptiness below us which tempts and lures us, it is the desire to fall, against which, terrified, we defend ourselves.

[...] Tereza obeyed Tomas and did not go to visit her mother. Several hours after the decision she fell in the street and injured her knee. She began to teeter as she walked, fell almost daily, bumped into things or, at the very least, dropped objects.

She was in the grip of an insuperable longing to fall. She lived in a constant state of vertigo.

"Pick me up," is the message of a person who keeps falling. Tomas kept picking her up, patiently.

Surprise!

WASHINGTON, July 14 — Backers of a constitutional amendment to prohibit same-sex marriages suffered a stinging defeat in the Senate today as opponents easily killed the initiative for the year in a procedural showdown.

Senators voted 50 to 48 against a call to cut off debate, 12 votes short of the 60 required and even below a simple majority of 51. It would have taken 67 votes to approve the amendment itself. The loss effectively ended a drive to move the proposal through the Senate before the November elections. Six Republicans helped block the amendment, illustrating the divisions in the party ranks over the idea of inscribing such a ban into the Constitution.

"The constitutional amendment we are debating today strikes me as antithetical in every way to the core philosophy of Republicans," said Senator John McCain, Republican of Arizona. "It usurps from the states a fundamental authority they have always possessed, and imposes a federal remedy for a problem that most states do not believe confronts them."

Three Democrats sided with Republicans in trying to move to a vote on the language of the amendment itself. Under constitutional rules crafted by the Founding Fathers to make it difficult to alter the document, a supermajority of 67 votes is necessary to start the ratification process by the states. Today's vote did not reflect the full level of opposition since some Senate Republicans who were opposed to the amendment sided with their leadership on the preliminary vote.

Born in Christian Reconstructionism, which was founded by the late R. J. Rushdoony, the framers of the new cult included Rushdoony, his son-in-law Gary North, Pat Robertson, Herb Titus, the former Dean of Robertson’s Regent University School of Public Policy (formerly CBN University), Charles Colson, Robertson’s political strategist, Tim LaHaye, Gary Bauer, the late Francis Schaeffer, and Paul Crouch, the founder of TBN, the world’s largest television network, plus a virtual army of likeminded television and radio evangelists and news talk show hosts.

Dominionism started with the Gospels and turned the concept of the invisible and spiritual “Kingdom of God” into a literal political empire that could be taken by force, starting with the United States of America. Discarding the original message of Jesus and forgetting that Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world,” the framers of Dominionism boldly presented a Gospel whose purpose was to inspire Christians to enter politics and execute world domination so that Jesus could return to an earth prepared for his earthly rule by his faithful “regents.”

But the Dominionists needed the aberrant extension of Calvinism; they believe as did Calvin and John Knox that before the creation of the universe, all men were indeed predestined to be either among God’s elect or were unregenerate outcasts. And it is at this point Dominionists introduced a perversion to Calvinism—the same one James Hogg utilizes in his The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner—its technical name is “supralapsarianism.” It means essentially that the man called from before the foundation of the world to be one of the elect of God’s people, can do no wrong. No wonder then observers noted a definite religious swing in George W. Bush from Wesleyan theology to Calvinism early in his administration.[25]

How comforting the Calvinistic idea of a “justified sinner” is when one is utilizing Machiavellian techniques to gain political control of a state. It’s more than comforting; it is a required doctrine for “Christians” who believe they must use evil to bring about good. It justifies lying, murder, fraud and all other criminal acts without the fuss of having to deal with guilt feelings or to feel remorse for the lives lost through executions, military actions, or assassinations.

From the beginning, America has sought international support for our operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, and we have gained much support. There is a difference, however, between leading a coalition of many nations, and submitting to the objections of a few. America will never seek a permission slip to defend the security of our country.

[...]America is a nation with a mission, and that mission comes from our most basic beliefs. We have no desire to dominate, no ambitions of empire. Our aim is a democratic peace -- a peace founded upon the dignity and rights of every man and woman. America acts in this cause with friends and allies at our side, yet we understand our special calling: This great republic will lead the cause of freedom.

[...]My fellow citizens, we now move forward, with confidence and faith. Our nation is strong and steadfast. The cause we serve is right, because it is the cause of all mankind. The momentum of freedom in our world is unmistakable -- and it is not carried forward by our power alone. We can trust in that greater power who guides the unfolding of the years. And in all that is to come, we can know that His purposes are just and true.

May God continue to bless America.

The joint venture’s mission statement supports the evangelical voice for the show, “Gifted,” reading: "God gives us so many gifts, but we reach for the one with the prettiest wrapping. In a world where MTV dictates trends and pop stars become idols, Christianity seems to be wrapped in conditions and judgments. It is our goal to wrap God's message - His love - in acceptance, and in a way that blends seamlessly into `pop' culture while still upholding the values we, as Christians, value most."

Through recognizable icons and stars, Wright Entertainment reasons that interweaving religion with popular culture will be facilitated. In a letter addressed on June 22 to pastors, the venture stated that the purpose of including mainstream market ‘A List’ celebrities on the Christian star-making show is to portray the ‘coolness’ to adolescents of being true to their faith.

Meanwhile, plans for the talent-recruiting show include a vast summer bus tour, beginning July 26, around the country visiting 11 Trinity stations auditioning contestants ranging from ages 18-24 in 11 different states (Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Illinois, Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, New York, California and Washington.) The genre of music contestants perform will be solely gospel or contemporary spiritual songs.

• Survival: A Thematic Guide to Canadian Literature by Margaret Atwood. I must hear this book quoted from or referred to a couple times a month by my thesis supervisor. It's a pivotal book in Canadian literature, and I've always been a fan of Atwood.


• The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera. This book sounds so familiar to me, plus the back of the book sounds really interesting. File this one in the "fun" category.


• Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy. No, I did not buy this because Oprah chose it as her summer reading book (while I do think it's pretty cool she did so). And yes, I do know how it ends -- but it's a classic and one of those books that one should read and possess on her shelf. There's a great place for it next to my Dostoevsky.


• The Stone Angel by Margaret Laurence. I've got this book and The Diviners as well -- but I'm not sure which to read first. I love her short stories, and I've been to her hometown, so I'm looking forward to reading her novels.


• The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie. Ooooh, can you smell the controversy? This is the book that put a fatwa on his head, plus it's the one book in the U of S library that is always missing from its shelves -- which is disturbingly odd in itself.


• Foucault's Pendulum by Umberto Eco. Another book I've heard whispered about in circles and yet another addition to the "fun" reading list.


• Stealing Jesus: How Fundamentalism Betrays Christianity by Bruce Bawer. Do I even need to relate here why I picked this book? Probably not. Needless to say, this book sits very well next to another one I'm currently reading: Ten Things I Learned Wrong from a Conservative Church by John Killinger.


• The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran. I've come across several quotes from Gibran, and want to take the time to read through (and process) some of the lessons he outlines in this work.


• The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison. I don't have this work in my Morrison library, so I had to pick up a copy. Morrison is one of my very favorite authors -- I remember going through a stage where I inhaled several texts from strong African American writers (Zora Neale Hurston, Morrison, Maya Angelou, etc) and I went up to my mom and lamented the fact that I wasn't born a black woman, so that I could never fully empathize with the characters I was coming across. Okay, that was a tad extreme, but I still love burying myself in the Southern world that I call home.


• Dead Man Walking: An Eyewitness Account of the Death Penalty in the United States by Sister Helen Prejean. I read this in my second year of university, and it radically changed my views on the death penalty. It's an amazing read, and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone, no matter what your stance is on the issue. Prejean is a woman to admire, and I've even talked to her in person! If you liked the Tim Robbins/Susan Sarandon movie, the book is so much better.


• Confessions of an Advertising Man by David Ogilvy. Another book to add to the Rhetoric/Communication shelf. Ogilvy was an advertising pioneer, and this book is revealing about the art (and abuse?) of communication -- in ways that the author might not even intend.


• The Power of Myth by Joseph Campbell & Bill Moyers. Can you believe that I didn't have a copy of this on my shelves? Outrageous! And now remedied.


• Politics by Aristotle. Again, another addition to the Rhetoric shelf. One of those must-reads.


• The Last Temptation by Nikos Kazantzakis. I only recently watched the Scorsese film, loved it, and I think the book looks to be just as interesting and thought-provoking. I think it's funny (in the ironic type of way) that Christians and the Church are so scared and distrustful of films/texts that dare to question or push the envelope of their faith systems. I can remember the HUGE uproar over the film in the 80's, and for what? The end result is a film that should only confirm the sacrifice and godliness of Jesus and his death to his believers. But that's another post for another time.

Even in your hobbies, has there not always been ... something, not to be identified with, but always on the verge of breaking through, the smell of cut wood in the workshop or the clap-clap of water against the boat's side? Are we not all lifelong friendships born at the moment when at last you meet another human being who has some inkling (but faint and uncertain even in the best) of that something which you were born desiring, and which, beneath the flux of other desires and in all the momentary silences between the louder passions, night and day, year by year, from childhood to old age, you are looking for, watching for, listening for?

You have never had it. All the things that have ever deeply possessed your soul have been but hints of it tantalising glimpses, promises never quite fulfilled, echoes that died away just as they caught your ear. But if it should really become manifest -- if there ever came an echo that did not die away but swelled into the sound itself -- you would know it.

Beyond all possibility of doubt you would say "Here at last is the thing I was made for."

We cannot tell each other about it. It is the secret signature of each soul, the incommunicable and unappeasable want, the thing we desired before we meet our [spouses] or made our friends or chose our work, and which we shall still desire on our deathbeds, when the mind no longer knows [spouse] or friend or work.

While we are, this is. If we lose this, we lose all. (CS Lewis)

People I know, places I go
Make me feel tongue-tied
I can see how people look down
They're on the inside

Here's where the story ends

People I see, weary of me
Showing my good side
I can see how people look down
I'm on the outside

Here's where the story ends
Ooh here's where the story ends

It's that little souvenir of a terrible year
Which makes my eyes feel sore
Oh I never should have said
The books that you read
Were all I loved you for

It's that little souvenir of a terrible year
Which makes me wonder why
And it's the memories of your shed that make me turn red
Surprise, surprise, surprise

Crazy I know, places I go
Make me feel so tired
I can see how people look down
I'm on the outside

Oh here's where the story ends
Ooh here's where the story ends

It's that little souvenir of a terrible year
Which makes my eyes feel sore
And who ever would've thought the books that you brought
Were all I loved you for

Oh the devil in me said, go down to the shed
I know where I belong
But the only thing I ever really wanted to say
Was wrong, was wrong, was wrong

It's that little souvenir of a colourful year
Which makes me smile inside
So I cynically, cynically say, the world is that way
Surprise, surprise, surprise, surprise, surprise

Here's where the story ends
Ooh here's where the story ends
