The Circle of Words Both Broken and Unbroken–Outsider Political Rants, 1912

JF Ptak Science Books   Quick Post    Part of the Uninentional Absurdist series

I’ve catalogued a number of pamphlets on this blog that  are on the Outsider/Found-Surreal/Uninentional-Absurdist spectrum, people who reveal their insights into the un-insightable, or their outsights into the great Outside world that is unseeable because it is unseen, or unknowable, or non-existent. Sometimes it is all-existent, though the insights bearing upon the issue are the unknowable, non-retrievable, self-referential, private-logic and private-language communications. Sometimes there is insight in that, but usually not.  

This day’s installment has the feel and look of something from the 19th century, but is it comes from 1912, and the rants and razor-vision is localized on Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson.  I’m not sure what the author’s point was, because it is all fairly circular, a circle of words filled with a another circle of words, and who knows really where they go.
