Stall Graffiti
June 18, 2005 ( politics )
So, I watched Stall Graffiti down at the Blue Theater last night; a show based on graffiti scribbles on bathroom walls around Austin.
It revealed through various pieces a sort of leftist volksgeist hanging around, of a disenfranchised 48% who feel betrayed, and beyond that, dumbstruck by the blatant hypocrasies of the Jeff Gannon insanities, Abu Ghraib and the lack of accountability, and the lack of mainstream reporting on these issues. Multiple pieces (there were ~10 short performances by the troupe) referenced one or more of these topics.
The current scandal that's not getting reported is of course the Downing Street Memo, revealing that indeed BushCo had made up his mind to go to war in Iraq, and "intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy."
A word to anyone reading this from over seas who is naturally aghast at the US right now; most people don't see this news. I read BBC, blogs, and listen to the possibly-now-doomed public radio (the House proposes to cut its funding).
