Meme this!
My goal with "Dr. P's Words ..." is to create an exo-toxic meme. As a personality, he's a bit inside the beltway, but breaking Rove, Wolfowitz, etc. into mass culture, revealing the men behind the curtain, should be a goal of anti-neos. Just yesterday David S. Broder advised in an oped that his friend Rove keep a low profile.

The good doc's words made a little headway towards meme-dom today with a link from bartcop E!
At least there's something buzzing in there.
jodi has a show up at eyebeam atelier through june 14. i haven't gone yet; i'm posting this as a reminder.
I ran across this while chasing down some Wolfowitz links at Eurolegal.

ALBERT WOHLSTETTER, R.I.P.

In Monday’s Wall Street Journal, editor Robert L. Bartley took note of Wohlstetter’s death by reprinting a 1991 account of his long association with Wohlstetter. It gave only hints of the extraordinary role Albert played during the most critical years of the Cold War, which was then just coming to an end. It did point out that two of the most public men of the last three decades who have been identified with shaping strategic counterforce policy, Richard Perle and Paul Wolfowitz, were Albert’s protégés. If you would connect the dots to others who were under Wohlstetter’s spell, you would soon find the late Senator Henry (Scoop) Jackson, Senator Robert Dole, and in London, Margaret Thatcher. For all practical purposes, every editorial on America’s geopolitical strategy that appeared in The Wall Street Journal during the last 25 years was the product of Albert’s genius. If Henry Kissinger was the principal leader of the "dove team" in foreign policy over much of this period, stressing diplomatic strategems, Wohlstetter was the undisputed leader of the "hawk team," which stressed military moves of breathtaking creativity and imagination.

Just in case you want to live it all over again: 20 days in spring 2003. Download the pdf or click the arrow for the web version. I don't know what to think about it really. Some nice graphic work for sure. (via environy)

Total lunar eclipse on Thursday night. If it's clear, we'll have a good view from north eastern U.S.

"CINEMANIA is the highly-anticipated documentary about the culture of intense cinephilia in New York City that reveals the impassioned world of five wildly obsessed movie buffs. They spend their waking hours in darkened theaters, and now, these full-time audience members step from their seats onto the big screen in this entertaining new documentary which celebrates their obsessions - from the grandiosity of their aesthetic dreams to the austerity of their domestic realities. In Cinemania, the Silver Screen's biggest fans become the true stars. This is the story of their lives, their memories, their unbending habits and the films they love."

i loved the book and tonight pbs has the first of two parts of the movie.

Super Happy Fun looks like a good place to buy hard to find films on DVD. Like Skidoo, which Steve told me about but I've never seen available before. Browsing seems a bit difficult, but try your luck with the search box. (via memepool)
Operation Strangelove:
On May 14, put on a screening of "Dr. Strangelove" - in your living room, at the local theater, on campus, on your laptop, anywhere you can - and say no to unilateral invasions, to endangering our troops for the sake of oil, to flouting international law and the world community in the name of empire. Follow the film with discussions, forums, debates. Keep talking. Keep acting. Let's give new meaning to the old Strategic Air Command motto, "Peace Is Our Profession."
John Horgan makes the case for therapeutic (and other) uses of psychedelics. Kind of surprising fare for the stuffy Slate.
