Despite all of these remarks (and others that I don't have room for here), Rick Perry is responsible for Texas being the second biggest state recipient of ARRA stimulus dollars -- ostensibly "redistributed" from tax payers in Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York and the president's home state of Hawaii.
In 2010, Perry was confronting a state budget deficit of $6.6 billion. A constitutional amendment mandated that Perry balance the budget somehow, but instead of using a "rainy day" fund established with state money, Perry decided to tap a different source to fill the void. The stimulus. According to Politifact, Perry and the Republican-controlled Texas legislature requested, received and used $6.4 billion in stimulus money to help balance the budget. 97 percent of the budget shortfall was filled with stimulus money.
There's more.
In addition to the $6.4 billion to balance Rick Perry's budget deficits, Texas also used $5.7 billion in stimulus money in 2010 for "programs such as highway and bridge construction, child care development programs and weatherization assistance."
That's a total of $12,100,000,000 in total stimulus money for Rick Perry's Texas in one year alone. Nearly seven percent of the total Texas budget in 2010 was stimulus money. That's a lot of "principle" being "tossed out the window." If Perry had, in fact, seceded, I wonder where that money would have come from. It stands to reason that a military confrontation with the United States would have created massive, unprecedented deficits in Texas.
As of the end of June this year, Texas asked for and accepted $17.4 billion in stimulus money with Rick Perry presiding over the state.
[...]
This is should be the argument against Rick Perry and the Republicans. They're closeted Keynesians. Using their own vernacular, they're socialists, and they're lying to everyone about their hypocritical true nature almost every time they fire-eat in public against the scary "misguided" generational theft being perpetrated by the White House and the Democrats. On a personal level, Rick Perry has even accepted more than $80,000 in federal farm subsidies while positioning himself as the viable tea party candidate running to be chief executive of a nation from which he wanted to secede because of "runaway spending." The contradictions are staggering.

Remodeling an Airstream is one of the most sustainable things one can do.
Concrete comedy is a hallmark of the modern sensibility. It begins with Valentin, the first person to consistently create objects of comic intent, and with Marcel Duchamp, who was the first to thematize the question of the artist’s seriousness, and then it spreads. Warhol during his deadpan ’60s phase, Andy Kaufman, Martin Kippenberger—all can be regarded as concrete comedians. Something caused comedy to expand beyond merely verbal wit, and the innovation held. Why? We can only speculate. Perhaps a concrete comedy that engages the theaters of the real world felt more empowering than did just speaking funny lines. Comedy is always about a relation to power. There’s always a jester and always a king, even if the “king” now takes the form of mass media, capitalism, and the other ruling abstractions of our time. And the jester always represents a threat, because the jester, in accepting his role, has announced his intention not to seek the throne. He’s playing another game, and that makes him dangerous.

Criticism v Critique
Morton’s funky intimacy may be slightly self-parodying, and easily leaves itself open to accusations that it remains innocent — unconsciously or hypocritically — of the broader institutional machinations and systems of power that circumscribe its existence. But that would be to submit to those critiques’ assertion that the art world is now so utterly instrumentalised and co-opted by power that any act of art criticism which plays the game of evaluation or judgement of the work-at-hand merely drives the economy of discourse that the art market still seems to require. It is an argument reiterated by critic Sven Lütticken, who follows Groys’s cynical and vacuous description of the shift from a ‘yes/no’ culture of judgement-making to a ‘one/zero’ culture of publicity, in which the simple fact of being written about is itself the act of confirmation, regardless of what is said. Lütticken argues that ‘critics may still pass yes/no judgements, but these could now be seen as surface phenomena that distract attention from the real judgement The “no” of every negative review is negated by the fact the review was published at all — by the fact that it is a “one”‘. Such is the power of this absurd argument that, bizarrely, Lütticken then feels it necessary to footnote himself, recounting how a negative review by him produced an irate response from an artist, who complained that his remarks ‘would undermine the market for his work in the US’. Disavowing the effect of his own criticism, Lütticken bafflingly concludes: ‘I highly doubt that any negative judgement in the text would outweigh the effect, such as it is, of writing and publishing the text in the first place.’

Between 2007 and 2009 I owned and ran a bookstore and gallery called Babylon Falling in San Francisco. I've since relocated to Brooklyn and in an attempt to justify my hoarding I post scans from my collection of 60s and 70s underground newspapers and counterculture magazines, 90s Hip Hop magazines, and political ephemera.
