Rt Rev Michael Nazir-Ali, Bishop of Rochester (Anglican), suggests that the the anglican corpus lacks leadership on moral issues, which is correct, and that his reactionary movement against homosexuality is similar to the reformation, which i have some quibbles about (ie the reformation was a movement that decentralised power, and allowed for more resources to be in the hands of the lay, the anglican churches recent problems seem to stem from a desire to make powerful a central college of bishops, while still maintaining the fluidity and collegiatey of the current system, it seems to be a you cannot serve two masters situation to me)

unico, the cutest anime unicorn ever!

the problem with the solution based pragmatic, and genuinely centrist solutions that Obama is proposing, the dialouge of adults he talked about in the audicity of hope, is that it assumes that wing nuts who think he will impose a facist state in America do not have power. He might be a back bencher from Georgia, but he will have to get this guy to work for him, which will be a pain.

Cindy Crawford, Steve Misel, French Vogue, 2008

As the election approached, there has been an increased focus on the person of Obama: his gravity, his deliberateness, his ability not to lose his temper, his way of modeling a certain evenness in the face of hurtful attacks and vile political rhetoric, his promise to reinstate a version of the nation that will overcome its current shame. Of course, the promise is alluring, but what if the embrace of Obama leads to the belief that we might overcome all dissonance, that unity is actually possible? What is the chance that we may end up suffering a certain inevitable disappointment when this charismatic leader displays his fallibility, his willingness to compromise, even to sell out minorities? He has, in fact, already done this in certain ways, but many of us "set aside" our concerns in order to enjoy the extreme un-ambivalence of this moment, risking an uncritical exuberance even when we know better. Obama is, after all, hardly a leftist, regardless of the attributions of "socialism" proffered by his conservative opponents. In what ways will his actions be constrained by party politics, economic interests, and state power; in what ways have they been compromised already? If we seek through this presidency to overcome a sense of dissonance, then we will have jettisoned critical politics in favor of an exuberance whose phantasmatic dimensions will prove consequential. Maybe we cannot avoid this phantasmatic moment, but let us be mindful about how temporary it is. If there are avowed racists who have said, "I know that he is a Muslim and a terrorist, but I will vote for him anyway," there are surely also people on the left who say, "I know that he has sold out gay rights and Palestine, but he is still our redemption." I know very well, but still: this is the classic formulation of disavowal. Through what means do we sustain and mask conflicting beliefs of this sort? And at what political cost?

101 photos of spirit photography from the 19th century, there is a narrative to be written, that talks about how photography from its beginning, has been used not to tell the docmunetary truth, but to create narratives of belief, of myth and falsehood, to extend the stories told by drawing and painting, this would be the first chapter. (note that these double exposures were intended against the tendenices of versmillitude---that the idea of photographs as narrative constructions was well printed from the 19th century onward, and the idea now that with the rise of digital photographs make us suspsicious of image creation is obviously false (cf stalinist disappearences, the crimean photographs, matthew brady moving bodies, the recent iranian bomb images, hand painted colour prints, and the conan scandal around fairy photos)(also, note this, and the victorian love of mortuary photography, including photos of dead babies)
