As Bad As Verwoerd
Wednesday, July 12, 2006
I just browsed on ASAI, Mario Pissarra's site where he first published his homage to Sister Sledge. Now I'm not educated enough to really care about this particular debate, but I wonder if it's not a little harsh comparing Malcolm to a certain Hendrik. Somehow Grand Apartheid and Big Artshow Argument don't really equate. And then to dismiss Mr Payne as a nationalistic professor does seem a little biased. Maybe if I waded through the polemics/diatribes I'd understand. But then maybe I should shut my mouth...
ps. I put this image up after reading the comments to this post. Whoever you are anonymous I haven't laughed that hard in a while. High Five...

625. Memorandum From Edward Hamilton of the National Security Council Staff to the President's Special Assistant (Rostow)/1/
Washington, September 6, 1966.
/1/Source: Johnson Library, National Security File, Country File, Africa, Union of South, Vol. II, Memos and Miscellaneous, 11/64-9/66. No classification marking. Attached is a note from Rostow to the President that reads: "Mr. President: The attached memorandum is self-explanatory. I believe the risks of our silence are greater than the risks of our candor; but I did not wish to clear this without your guidance." Prime Minister Verwoerd was stabbed to death in the South African Parliament on September 6.
SUBJECT
U.S. Connection of Verwoerd's Assassin
Verwoerd was killed by Demetrios Tsafendakis, a Portuguese national who was deported from the United States to Greece in 1947. We know nothing yet about his time here except that he was a foreign seaman employed by the Merchant Marine in World War II. His whereabouts between 1947 and 1965 are also vague. He appeared at our consulate in Capetown last November to file a claim for $100,000 in damages resulting from his being deported to Greece, rather than to South Africa (which, he maintained, was his home country). He said that he had made earlier attempts to file his claim at American consulates in France, Switzerland, and Portugal.
Our consul in Capetown informed Tsafendakis that such claims could be filed only through his country's embassy in Washington or in U.S. Federal Court. He seemed to accept this quietly. He reappeared at the consulate in May, however, and asked that his affidavit be given to Senator Robert Kennedy when the latter arrived in early June. The consulate immediately returned the affidavit with a letter pointing out that Kennedy's visit was to be very short and busy, and suggesting that Tsafendakis write to him in Washington. (A five-hour search of the Kennedy files this afternoon has yielded no such letter.) This was the last known U.S. contact with the assassin.
We must now decide whether and when to tell the South Africans what little we know about Tsafendakis. Rountree wants to tell them and has asked for instructions. State plans to tell him to go ahead, but will do nothing without White House clearance.
I think we should clear the instruction. In doing so, we run a risk of nasty insinuations by the SAG; but the risks involved in not disclosing information which is certain to be discovered soon seem to me much greater.
EH
Clear message/2/
Instruct Rountree not to inform SAG
/2/This option is checked and a notation in an unknown handwriting reads: "What does Palmer say?"
First Years Are fucking Luke Skywalker bitch, WE bring balanace to the force and all that shit because You old fucks messed shit up for the art galaxy!
English literature is what i call it. Proactive first years should not be discouraged to put thier penis on the block. It is thier right (at the moment). Let them sparr with the elders (who might be jealous they didn't do it when they were young and stupid). The entertainment qualities of this medium far surpasses anything else on the web(for me).
But is it a learning experience? Hurtful things were said...
fourth years and fifth years and three and a half years certainly not learning much, and the secunt years just suck, or blow?
It takes two to tango, and on behalf of the first years, thanks for all the good times. You annonymous people make us(Me) laugh as much as they hate Tim and Marco.
Penis Club! High Five!
