Here's my prose poem, "GRUNT FATHERS NO FATHERS," which Andrei Codrescu published. Codrescu used to read his hilarious satirical essays on NPR. He continues to write, edit, and publish. By the way, I was so unwell when I wrote this that I doubt very much that I am responsible for it.

Al Gore was right when he said that the Nazi movement was “uniquely evil, full stop.” He was also right when he said, only a moment later, that this doesn’t mean that there are no lessons to be learned for the present day from that period in German history.

This excellent poetry reading took place at one of my local cafes. It is clear that there are some truly excellent poets in Philadelphia.
I read my poem “From Marx to God,” which I wrote in Paris years ago.

Government support for the
arts is very important. I am interested in Francis Stonor Sanders book “The Cultural Cold War: The CIA and the World of Arts and Letters.” The socialist realism of the 1930’s was problematic for the government, so it decided to support abstract expressionism instead.

The National Endowment for the Humanities (the NEH) put this entry about Arthur Schlesinger, jr. up on its website. The website says, "The NEH is the only federal agency in the United States dedicated to funding the humanities." I wouldn't be at all surprised if the NEH were a target of DOGE.

I asked Senator Arlen Specter's office to investigate the State Department's treatment of me, and he did it!

The dissolution of the Soviet Union turns out to be a good thing for the American left because the American right can no longer claim that we are puppets of Moscow.
