Make Up For Missing Friday Saturday Frank: Solo from The Torture Never Stops; Barcelona; 1988
By Deborah Newell Tornello
aka litbrit
The title of this Frank Zappa masterpiece seems perfect for the moment, what with the week's revelation that our intelligence personnel destroyed valuable videotaped evidence of U.S. agents torturing "enemy combatants".
If no-one knows that it's even going on in the first place, of course the torture never stops.
Change, on the other hand, continues apace. In fact, it seems to me, lately, that the only real constant
is change, and as someone who's had enough real-life moving this fall
to last her a while, I'm glad this weekend's efforts are confined to
the virtual kind. It's a big old blog-moving day today: Ezra Klein, the blog (as well as Ezra, our gracious host) will
now be part of the American Prospect website starting on Monday, and
the weekend writers at Ezra's, including Yours Truly, are joining
together to bring you Cogitamus,
a blog featuring the opinions, outrages, musings and indulgences of a
group of modern thinkers. Our very talented writers hail from the arts,
the halls of academia, the courthouse corridors, and the drawing boards
of design. And of course, for those of us loco parentis
sorts, the kitchens and car-lines of Greater Domestica, where much
writerly inspiration seems to occur, usually when there are no keyboards within reach and someone has absconded with all the crayons.
Writers who are seldom in complete agreement, who are always passionate, progressive, and articulate--that's us.
So, come visit, and bookmark, our first clubhouse--Neil and Nicholas should have taken down the No Girlz Alowed
sign by now (you guys did get the injunction this morning, yes?!), and
while it's definitely a linoleum-tiled, beige-curtained starter home at
the moment, we're going to work wonders with the place. You'll see.

Oh geez, another new blog to put on my blogroll at Benny's World and change the addies.
Ezra, you've walked a long mile to get this noticed. I hope it stays free and open at TAPPED. My favorite post was one of trivia: your multiple choice diary about what was not true about you.
Bon chance all!
