Too, there are some distinctive forms of mental depression. One is the kind of "loner" preference of the highly manipulative person. Such a person, BTW, plays heavily upon being a "blank screen". A real big problem is that a guy wired up this way maybe tends to feel that there is no life beyond the ultimate big time of the Oval Office. The President is an impressive image, but he does not ring very true. Folks catch on. Then he sees that they see.

Borges and Ortega y Gasset, when was the last time anybody said anything genuinely interesting in Spanish?<br /><br />St. John of the Cross? Cervantes? Lope de Vega? Vida Es Sueno? Even in the Spanish Civil War, the reporting is mostly more interesting in English (Orwell, Hemingway et al) than in Spanish.<br /><br />Help me out here. Maybe I'm missing something, you never know. And no, I don't think the Magic Realists have said very much that is genuinely "interesting". Even Octavio Paz is, eh, meh. Some funky avant-gardists I suppose, (Lorca, Cesar Vallejo, OK, but Neruda doesn't really rate for me) but then again every culture's got a handful of colorful crackpots in their attic, so what. Make mine a Mayakovsky, with a sprig of fresh Tanizaki on the rim. Hell, Pete Townshend is more fascinating, and he's just a rock star, we haven't even cracked the books yet on the anglo litterateurs.<br /><br />And Carlos Fuentes? It is to larf.<br /><br />Any fresh science en espanol that can't be found elsewhere? Any cutting-edge philosophy, I mean beyond silly Che/Evo Morales social justice hooey? Let me know if you're hip to it, I'm curious; skeptical but open-minded.<br /><br />Why should I study Spanish? So I can understand the banal gossip of the cleaning lady on the Wilshire express bus while she yaps too loudly on a cellphone to her subliterate rellos in Guatemala?<br /><br />Yeah.

Sailer was semi-mischievously positing the question because most Español TV is, just like its northerly equivalent, gossip-driven glamor drivel about celebrity babies and police chases. A quick Babelfish-assisted perusal of the archives of "Al Punto" would show you that the routine content of such is even dumber than MTP or The Jim Lehrer Snooze Hour: scripted encounters galore with ethnic heelers like Xavier Becerra or self-appointed race reps plus the occasional brief gassy monologue about the "EU" (well, not THAT EU, of course; it used to be easier when they stuck with the more precise EEUU) or a sit-down with Fidel/Hugo.
