Steven Pressfield's new book

There is an enemy. There is an intelligent, active, malign force working against us.

Step one is to recognize this.

"Today [March 28] we [The Domino Project]are announcing a significant breakthrough in book publishing, and it may be a first: the digital edition of a bestselling author’s next book is available for free, thanks to a generous sponsor [General Electric - GE]."

Bestselling author Steven Pressfield is the author of The Legend of Bagger Vance, the upcoming thriller The Profession, and most important, the classic The War of Art.

Pressfield's new manifesto Do the Work (Available April 20)forcefully presses the idea that it’s not about better ideas, it’s about actually doing the work.

You can get a free copy of the Kindle edition for free, click here.

Spiral Jetty

Spiral Jetty, by Robert Smithson

Unique earthwork sculpture in the Great Salt Lake, Utah

The rise and fall of the water level makes the Spiral Jetty like a reappearing sand painting.

Rating: 4.5
Reviewed by Thomas Fox on  December 4, 2010

The Spiral Jetty is located in a remote and uninhabited section of Utah's Great Salt Lake. The sculpture can be seen in daylight hours, when the lake water level is low.  The Spiral Jetty was created in 1970 by Robert Smithson. Using black basalt rocks and earth from the site, the artist created a coil 1,500 feet long and 15 feet wide that stretches out counter-clockwise from the shore into the waters of the Great Salt Lake, near Rozel Point, Utah. Due to changes in the water level of the Great Salt Lake, the Spiral Jetty is frequently submerged.

Enough is enough

Spiritual progressives

After barely enduring the hottest Louisville summer in recorded history, twice, my tolerance for bullshit is at a seasonal low. The summer of 1954 was bad, especially before air conditioning, but 2010's summer was worse. It is now October 10th, and the forecast high temperature for this afternoon is above 90 degrees F.

This too shall pass.

As a warm-up act to this abnormal weather, TeeVee has provided an unending stream of anonymous political rants with bad graphics, bad-mouthing targeted political candidates. Can't buy me love represents a principle that does not apply to the commercial availability of high elected office.

Kentucky is a political battleground state this go-round, and the long knives have been un-sheathed.

The shape of our national governance for the next two years, at least, will soon be decided by a process that seems to be directed by a union of general un-articulated popular dissatisfaction with life in the U. S. A. today and extremely loud fear-mongering with slander.

Few know for sure who is paying for the prime time fear-mongering and slander. There is no legal requirement that they show their pretty faces, or be accountable to anyone.

In a recent speech before the U. S. Chamber of Commerce, President Obama stated, "This is a threat to our democracy...And if we just stand by and allow the special interests to silence anybody who's got the guts to stand up to them, our country's going to be a very different place."

Tikkun Magazine has suggested an Amendment to the U. S. Constitution to limit the First Amendment free speech rights of non-people. Those would also be know as corporations.
