Rethinking Kerry's campaign slogan
Rethinking Kerry's campaign slogan
07/26/2004 07:45 PMJess Hemerly of A Great Notion points us to a Slate
article about John Kerry's
campaign slogan "Let America be America again," a line snatched from a
poem by Harlem renaissance poet Langston Hughes. The irony is that the
poem itself was written with ironic intent--Hughes was
app
arently a vocal Communist and Soviet Union supporter.
Instead of misappropriating Hughes's poetry, Jess suggests Kerry
sample some other beats:
from Ginsberg's "America":
"America I'm putting my queer shoulder to the wheel. Vote Kerry."
"America stop pushing me I know what I am doing. Vote Kerry."
"America why are your libraries full of tears? Vote Kerry."
from e.e. cummings:
"a politician is an arse upon which everyone has sat except a man.
vote kerry, his arse is fresher than Bush's."
from Lawrence Ferlinghetti's "I am Waiting":
"Are you waiting for the American Eagle to really spread its wings and
straighten up and fly right? Vote Kerry."
"I am waiting for the lost music to sound again in the Lost Continent
in a new rebirth of wonder. Vote Kerry."
okay i'm ridiculous but do you see how ridiculous the Hughes thing is?

central to fighting terrorism.
Bush's campaign voodoo: Delay and
distract
Bush's campaign voodoo: Delay and
distract
09/13/2004 06:43 PMThe trouble with the font debate and the Swift Boat Vets debate and
all the other trivia that the Republicans have succeeded in dominating
the news with -- and, yes, the Bush service record trivia that the
Democrats have fumblingly attempted to retort with -- is that we will
forget it all after November 2. It will be as irrelevant as outdated
poll numbers.
What we will still be facing, whoever wins, is a situation abroad
that gets worse by the week and an economy at home that's sputtering.
For all the commander-in-chief bravado and the rhetoric of
decisiveness, President Bush has managed to distract the nation from
the essential rudderlessness of his leadership. In his four years of
running the country, he has majored in punting problems, fudging
outcomes and delaying reckonings.
This is the Bush administration's principal behavior pattern, its
fundamental survival principle, one no doubt etched into Karl Rove's
DNA: Do whatever it takes to run the clock out. The pattern
established itself, of course, in the fiasco of the Florida vote
recount. It emerged in controversies as diverse as Dick Cheney's fight
to keep the doors of his energy commission closed and the
pseudo-Solomonic "compromise" over stem-cell research. It's profoundly
evident in Bush economic policy, with its bogus "expiring" tax cuts
designed to loot the Treasury as quickly as possible without scaring
people over the resulting national bankruptcy. And it is the blueprint
for how Bush's team duped the nation into the Iraq war with a barrage
of misinformation: They said whatever they had to in order to rally
public support up until the launch of the invasion, when they could
count on a support-our-boys dynamic to kick in.
The other part of the Bush modus operandi is, take irrevocable
steps. The Bush administration has already made havoc of our
fiscal health, our national defense and our hope of actually
prevailing in the struggle against radical Islam. Much of what it has
done can't be undone. Short-term thinking -- what do we have to do
to get through the next election? -- has made long-term trouble.
A small and spiteful part of me can't help thinking, "Let Bush win
-- let him deal with his own mess!" Except there is no indication that
a second-term Bush will take any more ownership of his messes than a
first-term Bush. This, perhaps, is the ultimate irony of the Bush
presidency: For all the campaign-biography mythos of a misspent youth
redeemed by Jesus and a sober adulthood, George W. Bush is using the
presidency to play out his own drama of irresponsibility on a
nation-size stage. Once a wastrel, always a wastrel.
Bonus link: If you are still harboring any doubts about just how
strategically stupid the Iraq invasion was, read Juan Cole's essay on al-Qaida's war aims.

reported across the media this morning, the Dems will
concentrate on laying siege to Bush's Iraq policy through the
homestretch of the campaign. And indeed, Kerry came out today with
guns blazing during a campaign speech at New York University: "If we
do not change course [in Iraq], there is the prospect of a war with no
end in sight," he said, charging that Bush's record there has been
"filled with bad predictions, inaccurate cost estimates, deceptive
statements and errors of judgment of historic proportions."
