    Wow. What a wonderful piece. I hadn’t seen it yet.

    What a coinky dink! This is exactly how I felt while I was strapped into the dentist chair yesterday. I managed to get off two jokes before he inserted a prophylactic membrane on my tooth. The man refused to laugh. The bastard.

    Norman Finkelstein has been arrested in Israel. Dumbfounding details at link. I think Ben’s image here is a fair representation of my head today, with this news and the outrage of Hillary’s comments about assassination….

    Actually, come to think of it, a bad headache is probably the reason my facial muscles keep trying to get away… maybe some damn ibuprofen will fix me up….

    Shit! :-(

    99, I think Finkelstein’s being arrested and deported is just pathetic, and particularly outrageous since he wanted to go to the OPT and has to go through Israel to do so. On a group mail-out yesterday by one liberal Jewish American I was bemused to find in the responses that some so-called progressive American Jews supported Israel’s decision and that ironically it was an orthodox Jewish Israeli who supported Finkelstein, as well as the rest of us. The hostility Finkelstein aroused in these progressives-in-name-only was telling.

    Ben’s work is like a lot of great art, it can resonate with a lot of situations :) Hope your headache cleared up, my friend, and Ressentiment’s tooth problem, too.

    Thanks for coming by Graeme.

    Dear Ben, the honour is all mine.

    I’m hoping for a thought explosion of another kind, and to this end will be diving into some writing. Hope to see y’all back here in a coupla weeks.
