I'm going to be on the road over the weekend and it will be difficult for me to post over the next three days. Tis work commitments.

So some humour:

Paul Zanetti

The political background.

We need laughter. The disorder of my laughter expresses the excess of raptures that shatter me ...As Bataille expressed it laughter is a way of spitting out language itself, the reassertion of the primal, organic mouth over the sense-making tool it becomes in socialization. After the decomposing laugh, I have to recompose myself, pull myself together.

Laugher is not just about dissipation: it is the inner experience as the leap into the abyss.
