BAGnewsNotes
I’ve mentioned BAGnewsNotes before and below – there is a link in my sidebar. Michael Shaw’s stream of consciousness on contemporary press and documentary photographs within the context of American politics is lively, fun and thought provoking.
The Obama presidency and health care
A masterful speech, somehow a blend of governance and also campaigning. But above all, it is a reprise of the core reason for his candidacy and presidency: to get past the abstractions of ideology and the easy scorn of the cable circus and the cynicism that has thereby infected this country’s ability to tackle pressing problems. This was why he was elected, and we should not be swayed by the old Washington and the old ideologies and the old politics. He stands at the center urging a small shift to more government because the times demand it.

I have got quite fond of visiting culture11 – from time to time. Not sure if it is coming or going. Seems, though, it will remain in some form. And while we are there this oddly compelling thought from Ladyblog.
