Compromise is called for. damn. We’ll all agree that’s true, I’m sure.

But where I was standing, most of the people around me needed sunscreen, and an extension from their professor so they could leave the dorms for the rally. If you want to take a stand for “sanity” in the media, Jon, why not ask them why the hell they won’t stand on the facts? You should be aware however that that is not the case for all of us, and as for many of us in that category, we will not compromise our rights for the sake of “sanity” whatever dis-abilist shit that means. This post was brilliant. The question on everyone lips–or at least manufactured by the sponsors handing out free signs–was whether or not you were Team Sanity or Team Fear: Stewart or Colbert, reasonableness or pant-pissing, screaming terror.

And that the screaming isn’t coming from most people, on the left or the right. And I do agree with nearly all of what you said. It was always a bit disingenuous–were 200,000 people supposed to be gathered together and told to be afraid, be very, very afraid?–but at the same time, there was (at least for me) a nagging incredulity at the question. The kitchen staff were all people of color. This may be neither here nor there, but just for the record: at least while you were in town, you were in a place where gay marriage is wholly legal. Colum McCann’s “Thirteen Ways of Looking” is a short story collection made up of four pieces of short fiction. In "Sh'khol," a divorced translator living on the Irish coast makes a "terrible mistake" when she gives her 13-year-old son a wet suit for Christmas. Mendelssohn, a retired judge now 82, muses on his past, his day ahead, his late wife, his errant son, his caretaker Sally James. But I began to wonder if I was watching an eclectic concert, or a rally for ostensibly progressive purposes. Why would you reach across the aisle to a pumpkin assed forehead eyeball monster? Colum McCann’s recent collection of stories is titled Thirteen Ways of Looking, and while the title in its precision suggests a scientific experiment, McCann’s interweaving of the “thirteen” motif is artfully subtle. Wow, C.L. In this instance, Stevens is experimenting with the application of the verb 'to be' in its many forms and conjugations throughout the 13 cantos of the poem. But the rally was about the media. The title story, a 143-page novella, weaves the thoughts of retired lawyer and judge J. Mendelssohn together with an omniscient narrative that surveys literally from above, via cameras that track Mendelssohn’s final day. All the while, a word she’s had trouble translating resounds in her mind. In “What Time Is It Now, Where You Are?,” a writer struggling to come up with a New Year’s Eve-themed short story for a magazine decides to make his subject a young female soldier on duty in Afghanistan, about to call her lover back home. @Elizabeth I’ve been reading the reports from TPM, and the Awl, and the Stranger about the rally, and it seems to be less and less worthwhile.

We sat under the Washington Monument, the pinnacle at the center of the power and myth of America–on one side, Congress, still steadily ceding its power to the highest bidder or whoever the current president is; in front of us, the White House, which looks more and more like a dynastic possession with each passing election; and on our left the Lincoln Memorial, where the substantial achievements and flaws of the greatest human being to ever serve as President have been whitewashed into a dim history where slaves fought for the Confederacy and the tariff was the burning issue behind secession….and wait a minute. Although, I will admit that Jon’s done some great interviews on his show at times. Their task will be hampered by the snow obscuring the images and by the impossibility of perceiving something as it really is. It's an indelible tale of love and loss. Mendelssohn, born in Vilnius, a child in Ireland and then an adult in New York, rising through the legal profession to the prestige of the judge’s bench, is first discovered as “a blanket-shape” in a bed, in the enforced second-babyhood of the elderly, its humiliations only somewhat moderated by wealth. Contents in the underhead bin may have shifted during flight.
