1.) Art writing does not take modalities of writing as given, rather it tends to, and experiments with, non-division between practice and theory, criticism and creativity.

3.) Rick Santorum, president hopeful, stood before a small gathering in a grocery store in Iowa. “This is a napkin,” he said suddenly, grabbing a napkin from the table in front of him and holding it up to the crowd. “I could call this napkin a paper towel, but it is a napkin.

But it doesn’t make it marriage. Because there are certain qualities and certain things that attach themselves to the definition of what marriage is.”
