Faulkner, Faulkner, Faulkner – the bane of droves and droves of undergraduates lives, desperately attempting to decipher his exquisite works, his novels being far from easily accessible, they are deeply layered and initially appear completely chaotic. All novelists rely on their imagination, they take from it, think about what goes on in there, form letters around the ideas which are derived and place the words on paper…et voila a book is born. Faulkner skipped the interim steps, he places his imagination on the page and just like the erratic, confusing world of the imagination, so too are his novels, fuzzy and disorientating and annoying and amazing. Time, Faulkner time, is warped in relation to our normal perceptions, more akin to a dripping Dali motif, it plays havoc with normal form and sends us reeling in a desperate game of catch up.
Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Seymour Hersh stirred up a hornets nest last month during a presentation in Minnesota he said the Bush administration ran an “executive assassination ring” that reported directly to Vice President **** Cheney. “Under President Bush’s authority, they’ve been going into countries, not talking to the ambassador or to the CIA station chief, and finding people on a list and executing them and leaving,” Hersh again reiterated during a TV news cast while being questioned by Amy Goodman. Amy Goodman interviews Seymour Hersh as follows:
The United States Marine Corps War Memorial, (also known as the Iwo Jima Memorial) is a statue that overlooks the Potomac River at the entrance to Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, D.C. It has been placed there in dedication to all Marines who have given their lives in defense of their country. Its design was inspired by the most famous and iconic war-time photo ever taken, that of the flag-raising atop Mount Suribachi during World War II in the Battle of Iwo Jima in 1945 by the Pulitzer Prize winning photographer Joe Rosenthal.
