Shakespeare and Useless Expectations on Education and Everything Else

Posted on February 21, 2013 by jimmie

“…the raven doth not hatch a lark” (Titus Andronicus, act 2, sc.3) Comment. Comes a point when whatever is said (on the current national-international conditions) terribly sounds as deja-vu, or to be more accurate, deja-dit, not only by the  redactor of this site but by just about everyone else. Take the case of the so-called Read More

Shakespeare on the Latin in the Pope’s Resignation Text

Posted on February 13, 2013 by jimmie

“I smell false Latin.” (Love’s Labours Lost, act 5, sc. 1) Comment.  The day has finally come when my immensely useless learning (see “About the author” in the menu for details) can be put to task. With all respect for the Pope and for the Catholics, Benedict XVI’s resignation Latin speech contains (2) errors. Says Read More

Shakespeare on Murder as a Game

Posted on February 5, 2013 by jimmie

“… And look upon, as if the tragedy Were play’d in jest by counterfeiting actors” (King Henry VI, part 3, act 2, sc. 3) Comment.  As they say and as the picture shows, the wheel has come full circle – killing virtual people with a video game has turned into killing real people with a Read More

Shakespeare on King who had a dream and Obama who has a drone

Posted on January 18, 2013 by jimmie

IAGO. Will you hear me Roderigo? RODERIGO. Faith, I have heard too much; for your words and performance are no kin together. (Othello, act 4, sc. 3) Martin Luther King is a cultural icon who, these days, must be used sparingly by the apparatkit. Obama did not mention him in the original inauguration speech. It Read More

Posted on December 7, 2012 by jimmie

“ … thou, I fear, has given me cause to curse.” (Midsummer Night’s Dream, act 3, sc. 2) Comments. The announced pregnancy of Kate Middleton has triggered peaks of delight into the corporate media and associated establishment. My indifference to the matter is immeasurable, but the dramatic upsurge of apparent imbecility leads to one sociological Read More

Shakespeare and the Falsification of History (in the movie “Lincoln”)

Posted on December 3, 2012 by jimmie

 “…may his pernicious soul Rot half a grain a day! he lies to the heart” (Othello, act 5, sc. 2) Comments. Not Lincoln, but those who willingly falsify history. Steven Spielberg is one of the topmost masters of US propaganda and the heavily promoted movie “Lincoln” once more proves it. The film is no more Read More

Shakespeare on Telemarketers and Consumerism

Posted on November 28, 2012 by jimmie

“Traffic’s thy god; and thy god confound thee!” (Timon of Athens act 1, sc. 1) Comments. This most appropriate quote comes to mind when reading about the events that occurred during the most recent “Black Friday”. Quoting from a published report, “You can tell the health of the tree by the quality of its fruits. Read More
