Subject: Daily Bleed: 9/10 GEORGES BATAILLE




 You can judge
 the moral bearing of a political system,
 a political institution
 a political man
 by the degree of danger they attach
 to the fact of being observed
 through the eyes of a satiric poet.

              -- Roque Dalton

1979 -- Patti Smith plays the biggest concert of
her career in Florence, Italy to 85,000 people.

980 -- Ronald Reagan tells Sierra:


     "Approximately 80% of our air pollution stems
     from hydrocarbons released by vegetation. So
     lets not go overboard in setting & enforcing
     tough emissions standards for man made
     sources."

1996 -- First weekly issue of Seattle anarchist
Eat the State!


               There is nothing new when someone affirms
          that the nihilistic tyranny of the spectacle could
          be faced & fought by "talking big & telling tall
          stories", i.e. by raising a whirl of fibs & lies "
          till a  communication short-circuit dissipates
          the virtual world & the real one will settle
          again" (Paul Virilio). In fact, a radical
          criticism of the world order, & even the right
          to criticize, was an achievement by the
          "plagiarist" pirates of the
          past centuries, i.e. by rascals, buffoons
          & court  jesters.
