Obama Saddened That Kavanaugh Did Not Blame Him at Any Point
“As he was rattling off all of the people who had victimized him, I was sure I was going to make the list,” Obama said. “It was more than a little deflating that I didn’t.”
Obama said that as Kavanaugh listed such nemeses as the mainstream media, a vast left-wing conspiracy, and the Clintons, he was “on the edge of my chair expecting my name to come up.”
“It’s not a good feeling to be forgotten like that,” he said. “It was a tough thing to watch.” Obama said that it was “a little comforting” to know that he was not the only person Kavanaugh neglected to blame in his remarks. “I just got off the phone with George Soros, and he is bummed as well,” Obama said. In an official statement released after the former President’s remarks, Kavanaugh said that his failure to blame Obama was “a simple omission,” and not a memory lapse due to excessive alcohol consumption.

Unpacked: Refugee Baggage
more
Photographer Chris Engman invites you to enter a world within a world.
Containment is Engman’s first foray into work that allows you to physically enter his photographs.
“Love after Love”
“The time will come
when, with elation,
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror,
and each will smile at the other’s welcome,
and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was your self. Give wine. Give bread.
Give back your heart to itself, to the stranger who has loved you all your life, whom you ignored for another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf, the photographs, the desperate notes, peel your own image from the mirror. Sit. Feast on your life.”
– Derek Walcott

Bob Dylan: A Year and a Day
Over 1964 to 1965, Kramer captured Dylan breaking through to superstardom, from the renowned Lincoln Center’s Philharmonic Hall concert with Joan Baez to the now-famed performance at Forest Hills, when Dylan first transited to electric guitar. An ever-evolving musician, Bob Dylan and his constant, cryptic state of becoming is encapsulated so succinctly in Daniel Kramer’s work.

Trump Brags That He Got Much Bigger Laughs at U.N. Than Obama
Calling his speech to the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday “an unbelievable success,” Donald J. Trump bragged that he “got much bigger laughs than Obama.”
“When Obama spoke at the U.N. he did not get a single laugh—not one,” Trump told reporters.
“I feel sorry for the people who had to sit through his speeches. They weren’t funny at all.”
In contrast, Trump said, “I killed at the U.N.” “I had them rolling in the aisles,” he said.
“Once I started hearing those big laughs, I thought, Poor li’l Obama, he’s going to be so jealous.” Trump called the United Nations a “tough crowd” for comedy because the audience is composed of people from around the globe. “I’m sure the crooked media won’t give me credit for this, but I’m the only person who can make the whole world laugh,” he said.
