Nana Baluku and her Mawu-Lisa

While relaxing in Haiti

I met Gran Bois

who showed me how to teleport

to a private garden.

We witnessed cannibals

eat their own

while summoning mistè.

Under a dying mangrove,

I feasted on a black Iberian pig

while making love to Ezili Dantor.

She warned me to honor Bondyè

else my poppet become fetid

and I wither away

into nothingness.

The Right Girds Their Loins

I find it rather sad but ultimately not surprising that embedded within an email I received yesterday was a glimpse into what an Obama presidency might mean in terms of real progress and change. From the Evans-Novak Political Report forwarded through Human Events was the following point:

  • The bright point for Republicans: a Senate minority of at least 41 seats that can jam the Democratic works and prevent the sort of inevitable-march-to-progress that marked the Great Society and the New Deal.
Shame, shame, shame! Jamming an inevitable-march-to-progress in America. Now that's a cause of which any American should be proud.
