A dance to take your mind off whatever ails you

The New Neo Posted on September 26, 2011 by neoSeptember 26, 2011

Here’s a video of a dancer whose skills are stunning. I’m not at all sure I like this type of dance (some sort of modernized combination of Michael Jackson squared and Marcel Marceau, with a bit of Martha Graham thrown … Continue reading →

On the EU folly

The New Neo Posted on September 20, 2011 by neoSeptember 20, 2011

Shorter Daley on the EU: good fences make good neighbors. “Consensus” has become coercion. The imperatives of federalism and ever closer union have come bang up against the basic principle of democracy: that elected governments should be answerable to their … Continue reading →

Looking back at George W. Bush

The New Neo Posted on September 17, 2011 by neoSeptember 17, 2011

A number of people have recommended this article by Walt Harrington about George W. Bush, whom the journalist first met back in the 80s and became friendly with. Those people are correct; it’s a fascinating read. Their friendship endured throughout … Continue reading →

Joe McGinniss finally…

The New Neo Posted on September 15, 2011 by neoSeptember 15, 2011

…comes out with his book-length gossip sheet on temporary next-door-neighbor Sarah Palin, and even the NY Times can’t stomach it: McGinniss is “too busy being nasty to be lucid.” Ouch—although, of course, the two are hardly mutually exclusive. McGinniss is … Continue reading →

Aldous Huxley on Barack Obama

The New Neo Posted on September 13, 2011 by neoSeptember 13, 2011

Well, not really. For one thing, the interview was conducted in 1958, before Obama was born. But maybe you’ll see what I mean if you watch some of it: As for Huxley, although I think Brave New World was a … Continue reading →

The 9/11 memorial opens

The New Neo Posted on September 10, 2011 by neoSeptember 10, 2011

Well, the 9/11 Memorial was a long time coming, but it will be opening tomorrow on the 10th anniversary of that fateful day. Take a look, and perhaps you’ll agree with me that it’s a fitting tribute, classic and moving … Continue reading →

Horowitz plays

The New Neo Posted on September 3, 2011 by neoSeptember 3, 2011

One of the things that most fascinates me here (aside from the obvious virtuosity of Horowitz’s flying fingers) is the remote quality of his face. It’s as though he is observing his fingers from a greater distance than usually separates … Continue reading →

Irene, Goodnight

The New Neo Posted on August 28, 2011 by neoAugust 28, 2011

The storm hasn’t really been all it was cracked up to be here. But tis enough, twill serve—in other words, there’s a power outage where I live. I’m sitting in a coffee shop right now, plugged into one of the … Continue reading →

John Maynard Keynes, married man

The New Neo Posted on August 27, 2011 by neoAugust 27, 2011

One of the things I love about blogging are the discoveries that can result from late-night meandering down paths that lead to the unexpected. That’s what happened the other evening when, after doing some research on Keynes and Hayek, I … Continue reading →

Google celebrates

The New Neo Posted on August 24, 2011 by neoAugust 24, 2011

I must say I didn’t immediately get what today’s Google graphic was meant to refer to: I had to cheat by going to “View image info.” Why, it’s the 112th birthday of Jorge Luis Borges! Although he’s a tremendous favorite … Continue reading →

Thomas Friedman offers one of the worst comparisons ever

The New Neo Posted on August 24, 2011 by neoAugust 24, 2011

NY Times columnist and Obama admirer (“Obama is smart, decent and tough, with exactly the right instincts about where the country needs to go”) Thomas Friedman no doubt means well towards Obama. But this analogy is quite unfortunate: But lately … Continue reading →

Is Rick Perry…

The New Neo Posted on August 24, 2011 by neoAugust 24, 2011

…just too mean, too ornery, and too Texan to be elected? Boy, do the chattering classes ever hate this guy! If he is elected, the furor against him will make BDS look like a love affair. Perry is everything the … Continue reading →
