Five Years Ago: Bush's Despicable Eulogy for Paul Wellstone
Yesterday marked the fifth anniversary of the death of Minnesota Democratic Senator Paul Wellstone. But while much of the liberal blogosphere has remembered Wellstone's fighting spirit, grassroots populism and prescient courage in opposing the war in Iraq, little attention has been paid to President Bush's despicable eulogy of Wellstone on that sad day.
As we learned five years ago, this president's smallness and partisanship even extend to the dead. Commenting on the tragic death of the popular Democratic Senator Paul Wellstone in an October 25, 2002 plane crash, this was the best Bush could muster for an opponent:
"Paul Wellstone was a man of deep convictions, a plain-spoken fellow who did his best for his state and for his country. May the good Lord bless those who grieve." [Emphasis mine] Compare to that to his glowing words on June 27, 2003 for the late Republican Senator from South Carolina, the legendary racist and segregationist Strom Thurmond:
"Senator Strom Thurmond led an extraordinary life. He served in the Army during World War II, earning a Bronze Star for valor and landing at Normandy on D-Day. He served his country as Senator, Governor, and state legislator and was a beloved teacher, coach, husband, father, and grandfather. While campaigning across South Carolina with him in 1988, I saw first hand the tremendous love he had for his constituents, and the admiration the people of South Carolina had for him. He was also a friend and I was honored to have hosted his 100th birthday at the White House. Laura joins me in sending our prayers and condolences to the entire Thurmond family. He will be missed." In 1994, President Bill Clinton spoke eloquently of the late Richard Nixon, a man who disgraced the White House and sought to subvert the Constitution. President George W. Bush apparently felt decorum required no such tribute for the incorruptible Paul Wellstone.

The exhibition focuses on the artists’ responses to war and its effects on society, but it is also a reflection on the causes of wars.

Blinky Palermo All is not what it seems at the Serpentine.
see images page one, page two
Blinky Palermo. American Mafioso and boxing promoter, "owner" of the legendary 60s heavyweight boxer Sonny Liston. And absolutely nothing to do with the German painter whose work is currently on show at London’s Serpentine Gallery. Although he did look a bit like him. Which is why plain old Peter Schwarze took the name in 1964, after the seminal conceptual artist Joseph Beuys suggested the likeness.
There’s a lot of nonsense talked about Blinky, the German one that is, mainly by dealers who want to protect their business interests (he died young in the 70s, ergo a great investment). But the truth is he’s a footnote, diverting and little more. An interior designer with ideas above his station, with the work (one-colour canvases and "fabric paintings", ie shop-bought materials sewn together then stretched across a frame) seemingly more at home in a restaurant than a gallery. The only sign of life is in the watercolour sketches, but they’re sidelined under glass.
I wonder if the goodfella could draw? Jonathan Carter 28 March 03
Blinky Palermo is at the Serpentine Gallery, Kensington Gardens, London, until 18 May 03. Tel 020 7298 1515 for details.

OUR PICASSO? by Jerry Saltz
"Robert Rauschenberg: Combines," Dec. 20, 2005-Apr. 2, 2006, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1000 Fifth Avenue, New York, N.Y. 10028 Even those of us who revere the work of Robert Rauschenberg have to admit that his mad esthetic output, while jovial and fearless, borders on being suicidal and squandering and can lead to art that peters out, turns theatrical or becomes formulaic. Although Rauschenberg contributed enormously to postwar ideas about agglomeration, order, appropriation, duplication, assemblage, collage and photo-into-painting, his esthetic garrulousness often turns his work into a department store: something scanned, not studied. Unlike Jasper Johns, whose art relies heavily on people talking almost ad nausea about every detail, Rauschenberg is so convinced that all things in the world are equal that the work itself often equals out and gets slushy in the mind. He is a sort of artistic suicide bomber: a true believer who is unafraid to have his work look cruddy. ...more

(More) Being Zapatista Where You Live Drawing a Line in the Heartland By JOHN ROSS excerpt: ["Around the circle at MIRAC (Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Coalition), the young men and women who have been the motivators of indocumentado fightback, form outreach commissions, committees to write the leaflets, and prepare the press releases. May 1st is, of course, a homegrown American holiday first celebrated 121 years ago this spring when 80,000 immigrant workers marched up Chicago's Michigan Avenue to the lake in pursuit of the eight hour day. May 1st is the day of the immigrant worker when we are all invited to hit the streets.
I stood with Romeo from the Immokalee workers who, fresh from wresting a penny a pound more from Taco Bell for their stoop-labor tomatoes, are now mixing it up with tbe Big Mac and we sang "Old McDonald had some slaves." Romeo who hails from Huehuetenango laughed solemnly: "John, I was in Chiapas on the day the Zapatistas rose up against the mal gobierno. We were in the sierra near Motozintla picking coffee on a finca when they came for us. They were saying Marcos was a Guatemalan and so the army ran the "chapinos" back across the border." Now Romeo is being a Zapatista where he lives from day to day, organizing the slaves for a living wage.
II.
The lake ice was breaking up fast over in Madison, the ragged slabs slamming into the shoreline and splintering into shards of debris, an on-going metaphor for the self-destruct of the Bush braintrust as the rats scurry for the lifeboats and desert the sinking ship of state. Whether it was natural phenomena or the shape of the future, the spectacle excited art historian Melanie Herzog who along with her partner Norm Stockwell, the local alternative radio maven, had invited me into their home to flop. I am on a low-rent book tour.
Mel has just written an energetic text to 97 year-old social documentarian Milton Rogovin's portraiture of the working class and below (miners in a dozen different nations) but mostly of the lower west side in Milton's lifelong stomping grounds of Buffalo. "I take pictures of the poor" Milton snaps, "the rich have their own photographers." This class war veteran's eye to eye contact (he was an optometrist in real life) with glistening steel shovelers, hollow-eyed Appalachia kids, and women foundry workers dressed up in their Saturday night best, form a tapestry of the faces of a forgotten class ("los olvidados") that Rogovin's shutter never forgets.
Melanie notes that the poetry of the eternal Turkish political prisoner Nazim Hikmet informs Rogovin's work. One in particular, the imprisoned communist's last letter to his son, touched bone with me:
"Don't live in the world as if you were renting Or here only for the summer, But act as if it were your father's house. Believe in seeds, earth, the sea But people above all. Grieve for the withering branch, The dying star, And the hurt animal. But feel for people above all. Rejoice in all the earth's blessings - Darkness and light, The four seasons, But people above all."
Everywhere I roam on this purposeful trek, talking up being Zapatistas where we live, I've been riffing about water and corn, the devastated forests, what happens when a language dies and what that means to people above all. How we serve our communities and the spaces where we live now. Above all.
The defense of corn was a frequent theme in the Midwest where they grow a lot of transgenic maize. "No hay pais sin maiz" ("there is no country without corn") is how we say Mexico back home. How what they are doing to Mexican corn, altering its germ plasma and making it something else, commodifying it i n metric tons sold by the Cargill Corporation is not just ecocide. We charge genocide. "] Department of Citizen Alice (Departamento del Ciudadano Alicia) http://pscelebrities.com/alice/2007_04_01_archive.html
