What to do when your Dead I wonder how long this strange political necrophilliac-like obsession with Reagan is going to last? Is this going to run rampant as Reagan lies in state? He was treated as dead while he was alive, now he will come alive when he is dead. The dead as a commodity, the dead as hierarchy, the militarization of the dead, the dead as alienated sensuality....it will all be there, perhaps the pinnacle of this in the history of the world..... What bungled war in Iraq? What revelations about the CIA agent who was exposed? What health benefits? What industrial jobs? Look! It is the Dead! All hail the legacy of the Dead!
