still slipslidinround in Anti-Intellectualism of American Life he found this footnoted beaut

Congressman George Dondero Michigan in warped times of either 14June 1946 or 16August 1949 or 17March 1952  The Congressional Record

                                              “The art of the isms . . . Cubism, Expressionism, Surrealism, Dadaism, Futurism, other movements in art . . . truly have no place in America . . . All are weapons of destruction.”

to be scarcelyfair to a man who was concerned for alleged communism in the arts

                                                                                        he was born in 1886

reading that he rolled back in his seat couldnt help but wonder how maybe mid-Twentieth Century Michigan was considered a hinterland Congressman Dondero would define creative imagination and expression  destructive

    Dondero  hardboiled brain

                                 whichWhoa reminded him he bought was treating himself organic Jumbo eggs

he had a hankering for soft-boiled eggs to nosh before bed where Sebalds Silent Catastrophes waited

couldnt find a more compelling text to read to spit in the eye of those who suffered verklempt Yiddish  emotionally overcome by intellect

she asked and in asking caught her eyerollher head tilt back eversoslightly

                                                                                   betrayals

had the cunt read her email she wouldnt be approaching her now

cunt should have approached her earlier

                                            thought to herself  Use your words

when she was little her older sister translated what she said to their parents

                                                                                   translated

they bought into it  brieflyhumoured  then realised if they didnt punt their older daughter  have her cease translating  she wasnt going to use her words

she remembered it exercised her

it was so easy when her sister said instead

lesson learned

                   now

when adults her father said adolts cant open their mouths and speak she had little patience though wasnt as rude as her father who aggressively pushed his point    Aries  what more could anyone expect from him

the cunt passive aggressive asked  What now?

    Now?

              You read my email?

What email?

I’m not wasting my breath. Read it.

I don’t think I like your tone.

All the more reason to read it cunt.

                                      Questions?   I’ll be at my desk.

walking away feeling her eyes on her back she thought My old man would be proud.

Thanksgiving

                 he finally got to hunker down and get into Hofstadters Anti-Intellectualism in American Life

won the Pulitzer for Non-Fiction in 1964

sixty years later still apropos

what he enjoyed were Hofstaders copious footnotes

                                                        was gaga for footnotes

also why David Foster Wallace enthused him

the obscure that lurked in them were very appealing

and yet despite their obscurity their words continue to ring vibrantly true

for one never truer than today

Jack Schwartzman  Natural Law and the Campus

                                                       “The rebirth of idealism must come from the scattered monasteries of non-collegiate thought.”

    the monasteries of the American hinterlands

while they may think so

rather

he thought them

                         monstrosities
