“From a student radical/hippie/leftist of the Free Speech Movement/Vietnam Day Commitee era and a full-on Democratic Liberal in the decades after, I think I’ve evolved a politics that is neither right nor left but is, in its elemental nature, draconian. In the last 20 years, I’ve taken apart my beliefs with a sledgehammer. Now I’ve got to put the surviving parts back together with tweezers and other ‘shabby equipment, always deteriorating’.”
A Wicker Basket
Comes the time when it’s later
and onto your table the headwaiter
puts the bill, and very soon after
rings out the sound of lively laughter—
Picking up change, hands like a walrus,
and a face like a barndoor’s,
and a head without any apparent size,
nothing but two eyes—
So that’s you, man,
or me. I make it as I can,
I pick up, I go
faster than they know—
Out the door, the street like a night,
any night, and no one in sight,
but then, well, there she is,
old friend Liz—
And she opens the door of her cadillac,
I step in back,
and we’re gone.
She turns me on—
There are very huge stars, man, in the sky,
and from somewhere very far off someone hands me a slice of apple pie,
with a gob of white, white ice cream on top of it,
and I eat it—
Slowly. And while certainly
they are laughing at me, and all around me is racket
of these cats not making it, I make it
in my wicker basket.

Just found out about this amazing new restaurant called “Amplifying Black Voices” where you can buy non-racist hamburgers and anti-fascist milkshakes. pic.twitter.com/0JA1mELnYg

Subtle.
Veeery subtle.
A bit of daylight right here. Tracy is a trip mine. That means she’s my heroine. Watch out, the Left – we have your number, now. Tracy joins Rosanne (a wounded and loose cannon comic genius) and Norm MacDonald, Gavin McInnes, and Dennis Miller as true comedians.
Fuck off, Jamie!
I found this video deeply offensive. First, it was in color, which means that it appropriated the cinematography from non-whites, or people of “color.” The video should have been in black and white, except that would have privileged whites and oppressed black people. One could say it was in grayscale, but that implies sameness and would be highly offensive and oppressive to all of us who celebrate diversity. It could have been made as a cartoon, but inevitably it would have meant caricaturing (hence stereotyping) the characters, which you can do to the white characters (I mean, who cares? They are all Nazis anyway) but not to the minority players — who were massively under-represented in the casting!
Therefore, this video should never have been made at all. I demand that you take it off your site, you neo-Nazi, fascist hatemonger!
Sir! YES SIR!!
I vass amussssed!
It’s always important to check out what “The Ullwoman” is up to. After all, she helped launch “The Simpsons” (The Simpson’s …….. )
‘Struth!! Simpsons started as a minor segment on her show in early 90’s
The fact that Tracey Ullman did this isn’t surprising- but the fact that the BBC showed it is amazing!
Glad to see that Tracey is still subversive, and I greatly enjoyed that video!
what’s http://www.facebook.com? I’m just getting a silly sad face icon…is something supposed to be there?
