Someone commented on a previous post implying that I was too aesthetically unsophisticated to properly appreciate the merits of the Obamachron, saying some people just can't comprehend great architecture, mentioning for example, the Guggenheim. I was going to say, don't drop that specious stuff on my site—get your own, but I blocked him instead.
I got The Making of Americans at the library, oh lord, 1022 pages. I said how am I gonna read this in 3 weeks, and they said Maybe there's no one else in line. It's funny to think of Obama's short text You Are America alongside Gertrude Stein's The Making of Americans. More on this developing story.
It's the centennial of Vista Homes and the Chicago Commission on Race Relations on the impact of the 1919 race riots, and of Route 66, where blacks had to find a place to stop in the green book or keep on driving. There was road race in 1895 starting at the women's circle garden which was destroyed for this fortress. This is what we got today: hope and change. Folks still like to race around here, behind the museum and doing burnout donuts in the intersection by the Obamachron.
