The muses’ decision to sing or not to sing is never based on the elevation of your moral purpose—they will sing or not regardless.

Post-Modern Triumph of the Phallus

I feel as if it is time for something little different here on the Senate Floor. I wish to make a post more like the celebratory spirits of the ancient Senators on whose shoulders we stand so proud. I feel they must have had a custom to honor special and extraordinary individuals who practice virtue and excellence to such a high degree that they warrant special recognition for their greatness.

Let me continue and get to where I am trying to go.

I have recently found great joy in the past couple hours educating myself in the greatness of Dustin Hoffman- sparked by a revisiting to his role in the Tootsie. Here I will help you in that process.







Now let's revisit another Dustin Hoffman role as handicap derelict pimp for a "Midnight Cowboy."







And lastly, the thing that dare I say proves his Senatorial prowess, a 2008 interview on Letterman talking about his role in the film Tootsie and the fun he would have with it. (Please focus on facial expression to the reaction from his punch line after he tells a dirty anecdote.)



Hoffman = Smug satisfied smile , Dave = embarrassed face-palm , Paul = loss for words

Cheers Senators and I hope you enjoy this tribute to Dustin Hoffman.

  2. We the Senate, do henceforth decry, for the good of the Senate Floor, that is the Platonic ideal Good, utilitarian good, and all other "goods" thus metaphysically described, that the Neronian embedding of such a vast extent of visual stimulus on the floor must here to for cease, or be limited in such a quantity that is more fit for rational minds. Let it be known that we comprehend the philosophical need for such Neronian thought to express itself in such a matter. But we employ that such thought, while in totality is valuable, and rich in Senatorial subtext, requires far too much effort to arrive at a satisfying conclusion. A fortnights worth of embedding is far too long for the Senatorial consciousness to stay focused. This all being said, we urge thou not into despair, but into creation...the creation of a Senate that is true to its phallus, in body and mind. God bless Nero, and God bless the Senate.

  3. I apologize. I don't know why I insist on such video heavy posts; it is pollution on the senate floor. I again promise to behave myself. This time I swear. May we look forward to a text rich future without the video hog-wash. Cheers...

  4. Though perhaps over embedment is a sin of state, the delight nero's videos bring me balance any scale of justice...
    So as Mr. Hoffman might paraphrase... Yes, but not right now.
