Jungle - Dominoes

I’m always excited for every new Jungle music video. The one take mixed with the choreo just elevates the underlying music track. It’s also nice to see familiar dancers from previous tracks and new ones coming along for the ride.

An excellent podcast episode from the New York Times featuring Carlos Lozada, Michelle Cottle, Jamelle Bouie, and David French.

The gist of it is that Trump is weaker than he seems but the GOP Congress is simply letting him get away with things. And this failure of oversight means were headed towards a constitutional crisis.

—··—— —··—— —··—— —··—— —··—— —··—— —··——

Some excerpts which are edited but in order...

David French: It’s extremely difficult for one person to keep up with all of these different elements, much less formulate informed opinions about each different piece of it.

Each different piece of it is being litigated, but I think it’s a mistake to focus on all of the different pieces — as important as each individual element might be — to understand the core of what’s happening.

That’s why I used the term Hydra. You have one body but many heads. The one body is this Trump move to radically remake the presidency in the constitutional order. To place the presidency at the unquestioned head of the constitutional order with the other branches decisively subordinate to it.

Jamelle Bouie: In the American system, sovereignty belongs with the people. But what Trump seems to really be asserting is that he is actually, in the presidency, sovereign over the entire government.

That’s simply something that cannot exist within the Constitution. The Constitution is explicitly anti-that. And so establishing that, to my mind, means that you’re establishing something that is no longer a constitutional government, whatever we’re going to call it.

Carlos Lozada: When you have a “constitutional crisis,” it’s the president trying to push something through in the face of opposition with a recalcitrant Congress. Here he has congressional majorities — not huge, but he has them — and he could conceivably try to make some of these changes through legislation. But he’s not even trying to do that.

Michelle Cottle: But my sense is that Trump likes instability if it serves what is his only goal, which is to maximize his personal power. He doesn’t think in terms of what this means for the Constitution or what this means for the next president.

His only goal is to amass as much power so he can do whatever he wants to do. And if that seems to work in the short term for some of his people, that’s great. But that’s not what he’s worried about.

Jamelle Bouie: One of my gripes with a lot of the reporting around the president’s executive orders is that they’re talked about as if they are royal decrees, and they’re not talked about recognizing the limited force that they have.

But that’s an aside. The main point I want to make is that Trump is a weak president. He was in his first term, and he is in this term. Why is he not going through Congress? Because Trump does not possess the actual skills and abilities necessary to broker any kind of congressional deal or compromise, even with members of his own party.

There’s a very famous book, “Presidential Power and the Modern President,” by a very famous political scientist, Richard Neustadt. The point he makes is that the president’s power is, in a lot of ways, simply a power to persuade, a power to cajole. Precisely because the president isn’t like the general of the entire federal government. The president is like one constitutional actor among many and has a limited sphere of authority.

But Trump has never been good at this. I always like to note that there is exactly one major piece of legislation that came out of the Trump administration’s first time. It was a big tax cut that was mostly negotiated by Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell.

Michelle Cottle: It’s not just that Trump is a weak president. It’s that Congress hasn’t wanted to take responsibility for legislating in a really long time.

I remember complaining at the beginning of the Biden administration that they were doing a lot of executive orders because there was no way they were going to get anything through Congress on certain issues.

So in addition to blaming Trump, I’d to just take a step back and slap Congress again for putting us in a position where it’s what people have come to expect.

David French: In the words of James Madison: Ambition must be made to check ambition. And that seems to be not working. Because how you become powerful, how you become somebody in the world of Congress now isn’t through legislation and governance. It’s by becoming a kind of pop culture political figure. The ambition is oriented away from governance and more toward what my friend Jonah Goldberg calls the “parliament of pundits.” It’s more toward punditry.

That culture in Congress is eviscerating and disrupting the Madisonian order. If you talked to the founders and you said, wait a minute, I can see some parts of the 1787 Constitution that really empower the president a lot. And the anti-Federalists would point to things like pardon power: Look at how powerful that is. His commander in chief authority — that’s huge. What can we do about that? And the Federalists would say: Look, Congress is the check. It’s Article I. It can impeach him.

Jamelle Bouie: I find myself not being thrilled about framing a constitutional crisis as a discrete thing that happens once you trip a set of wires.

I think It might be useful to think of constitutional crises as something akin to sicknesses or infections in a body. An infection can be mild, it can be acute. An infection can leave you just feeling miserable. It can bring you to the point of death.

It progresses in stages, but whether it’s late stage or early stage, it remains the case that you are ill. And I would say that the American constitutional system is ill and has been ill for some time. What we’re in now is the acute portion of that illness.

Carlos Lozada: Constitutions, like our sacred religious texts, can bring us together, but they can prompt our biggest fights. And I think that’s part of what the Trump administration is doing. In some cases fighting over interpretation. In some cases ignoring the sacred texts altogether.

But this feels like a moment of that kind of doctrinal dispute in our secular civic religion. And I think that’s one of the outcomes of the Trump era — writ large — that is forcing us to look at basic bedrock principles, even if our fixes can sometimes be incremental.

—··—— —··—— —··—— —··—— —··—— —··—— —··——

It's an excellent discussion. The name of the podcast series is Matter of Opinion and the episode is "Don’t Be Fooled, 'Trump Is a Weak President'". It's at Apple and other podcast providers in addition to the NYT itself and YouTube.

Clifton Pugh (1924 – 1990) was an Australian artist and three-time winner of Australia's Archibald Prize. One of Australia's most renowned and successful painters, Pugh was strongly influenced by German Expressionism, and was known for his landscapes and portraiture. Important early group exhibitions include The Antipodeans, the exhibition for which Bernard Smith drafted a manifesto in support of Australian figurative painting, an exhibition in which Arthur Boyd, David Boyd, John Brack, Robert Dickerson, John Perceval and Charles Blackman showed; a joint exhibition with Barry Humphries, in which the two responded to Dadaism; and Group of Four at the Victorian Artists Society Gallery with Pugh, John Howley, Don Laycock and Lawrence Daws.

Frank Neilson, photographer, tells about his visit to Clifton Pugh:

Clifton Pugh, one of Australia’s most celebrated artists and three-time winner of the Archibald Prize for portraiture, lived on his 15 acre property “Dunmoochin” at Cottle’s Bridge in country Victoria. Clifton, born in Melbourne on 17 December 1924, was a prolific painter and print-maker of landscape and portrait subjects. He received the honour of Officer of the Order of Australia for his services to art. A staunch supporter of the Australian Labor Party, one of his memorable Archibald wins was for his 1972 painting of Labor Prime Minister Gough Whitlam.

"I first saw one of Clifton’s paintings during the early sixties, and was impressed by the very “Australian” style he used. That painting was of the carcase of a dead animal in the desert, painted in strong yellows and reds, with expressionistic black outlining. I got to know Clifton in about 1988, whilst photographing a series of works he had produced on the theme of Leda and the Swan; for which I used a studio lighting technique I had developed which correctly threw the brush-strokes into relief. They were made into high-quality posters, which Clifton loved, saying that they looked as good as the originals." Continue https://frankneilsen.com.au/gallery/clifton-pugh

The Widow's Best of 2023

Jane Hobson 2023: Following such a desperate year for so many in the world this quotation by Nietzsche seems pertinent. "We have art in order not to die of the truth." So, in an effort to uplift whoever might read this, here's a somewhat curtailed list of a few of our favourite things we've seen this year. It wasn't the hottest time for live shows; we walked out of five! One every few years, maybe, but five! Disappointing. However we still managed to find some wonderful things, not all of them new. Let's begin with…

MOST SPECTACULAR: Phelim McDermott's Akhnaten at the London Coliseum. We'd been asked so many times: "Have you seen Akhnaten?" No, we hadn't but now we have and, OK, it's a Philip Glass opera (pictured above and below) but really, with a set by Tom Pye and costumes by Kevin Pollard it's a full-on feast for the senses, with the ever-inventive Gandini Juggling, choreographed by Sean Gandini, doing what they do best.

Jane Hobson BEST CIRCUS SHOW: Cirque Le Roux's thrilling and ambitious Entre Chiens et Louves – staged at Le Bon Marché department store in Paris (take note Selfridges) – took our breath away even without the sublime Lolita Costet in the cast; and Circa's Humans II at the Queen Elizabeth Hall at London's Southbank Centre.

COMPANY TO WATCH: Hoops Désolé! A “crazy” six-strong troupe of artists drawn from the circus school in Quebec, Cirque du Soleil and Cirque Éloize.

Emma Kauldhar BEST DANCE: Wayne McGregor’s Woolf Works at London’s Royal Opera House, with the mesmerising Alessandra Ferri, who at 59 was the same age as Virginia Woolf when she died. Another dancer with astonishing longevity is the Spanish Lucía Lacarra, now 48, who appeared in the Ballet Icons Gala at the London Coliseum.

BEST SHOWBIZ MEMOIR: Walking Through Walls by performance artist Marina Abramović; Do It For Your Mum by Roy Wilkinson, then manager of his brothers' band British Sea Power.

MOST TERRIFYING: He's done some daring things in his time and on World Circus Day Hungarian high-wire artist Laci Simet performed a sensational walk across the River Danube – 40 metres up in the wind – with only a balance pole to keep him safe.

BEST FILM: German film Afire or Roter Himmel by Christian Petzold (he’ll never let you down); Babak Jalali’s Fremont, set in a fortune cookie factory; and the Mexican film The Empty Hours directed by Aarón Fernández.

BEST ARCHIVE PIC: Josephine Baker and Dalida at L’Olympia music hall in Paris in 1968. A legendary pair!

LONGEST-SERVING FEMALE DJ: Texan Mary McCoy, who at 85 has been on the air for almost 72 years, and entered the Guinness Book of Records.

BEST DESERT ISLAND DISCS CASTAWAY: Actor/comedian/writer and so on, Adrian Edmondson; snooker star Ronnie O’Sullivan.

MOST INSPIRING: The Maricarmen dance school in Chorrillos, south of Lima, in Peru, run by retired dancer Maria del Carmen Silva, offers free classes to girls of all abilities from low-income areas.

BEST DOCUMENTARY: Never Be a Punching Bag for Nobody by indie rock musician Naomi Yang; My Indiana Muse, in which artist Robert Townsend discovers his Kodachrome muse, Helen.

FOND FAREWELL: Actor David McCallum, who, as The Man from U.N.C.L.E.’s Illya Kuryakin was an enduring heartthrob for a certain generation of girls and women. Closer to home the UK lost its leading circus director, Phillip Gandey (above), at 67, whose shows – including Cirque Surreal, The Chinese State Circus and The Lady Boys of Bangkok – were always far and away the most creative and exciting; and The Circus of Horrors – a show I reviewed more times than any other, except perhaps Cirque du Soleil – lost its co-creator and frontman, Doktor Haze (below) at 66. Along with Gerry Cottle, they were notable as two of the nicest circus men I met during my reviewing years, and are greatly missed.

LAST WORD: It wouldn't be a Widow Stanton 'Best of' without some showgirls. This picture was taken by the Argentinian photographer Luisita Escarria, who with her sister Chela, documented all the artists appearing in revues in Buenos Aires from 1958 to 2009. Their story and wondrous archive might have been lost had it not been rescued by filmmakers Sol Miraglia and Hugo Manso. Their documentary Foto Estudio Luisita will warm your heart… and fortunately both the sisters lived long enough to see it.

Eleven-year-old sax player, Seth Scholes, with David Bowie and Richard Cottle backstage before Bowie's concert, Toronto, August 24th, 1987

When Seth Scholes walked backstage to meet David Bowie nearly 30 years ago, the 11-year-old saxophone player from Kingston, Ont., was hardly aware of how the encounter would help shape his life.

When he thinks about the Aug. 24, 1987 encounter, he remembers how Bowie was “really cool, in the sense that he wasn’t intimidating at all.”

“He was just really sincere, easy to talk to and seemed genuinely interested in me.”
