Bacharach's surprise, as well as McVeigh's declaration that everyday Americans had missed the reality of the horror in Waco, should be instructive: Though the occupation in Oregon may appear frivolous and weird, mockable and quixotic, it is undoubtedly registering on quite a different level to other onlookers, some of whom were already comparing the two situations in late December.

They loathed it so much that, in 2010, not a single Republican voted for the Affordable Care Act; so much that they have tried more than 60 times to repeal all or some of it; so viscerally that, in 2013, some engineered a partial shutdown of the federal government in a quixotic bid to undo it.

Also failing are the large and loud numbers of Democrats, led by outgoing Senator Barbara Boxer and former Attorney General Eric Holder, who are pursuing a Quixotic movement to eliminate the Electoral College or even to get the current Trump electors to switch their votes to Clinton when they cast them officially in Washington on December 19th.

Denkenberger is an assistant professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, and his thinking about apocalypse scenarios has driven him to a quixotic side project: figuring out how to ensure that no one starves to death in the aftermath of a natural catastrophe like Toba or a manmade one like a nuclear winter.

Luck, Allen propel Colts in rout of Jets EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — In his first game back since suffering a concussion, Andrew Luck reminded the Indianapolis Colts they're set at quarterback for the next decade — and helped officially send the New York Jets back to the drawing board in their quixotic search for a franchise signal-caller.

From his stint in Weasel Walter's brilliant "brutal-prog" freaks The Flying Luttenbachers, various projects like Orthrelm, Octis and Ocrilim to his current gig in black metal crew Krallice, Barr's quixotic influence is unrivaled in both the extreme metal pantheon and the free-improv world, where he's earned the fandom of downtown avant-garde kingpin John Zorn.

Rhodes, who began his career in Washington working for retired Democratic Congressman Lee Hamilton, the former vice chair of the 20113/11 Commission, signed on in 2007 as a 29-year-old speechwriter for the Democratic primary candidate, Barack Obama, who was then mounting what seemed like a quixotic campaign against the Democratic frontrunner, Hillary Clinton.

Album Review An opportunist who parlayed a sort of social-media telegenic glow into a music career, a curio who embraced a quixotic anti-style and became a regular fixture on the Billboard charts, 6ix29ine has become one of the emblematic rappers of the SoundCloud generation, even if rapping itself isn't of much interest to him.

That's something I think I'll always remember about Dawn: the giant, almost quixotic proportions of her vision, whether she's bundling three consecutive albums into an epic concept trilogy, or overseeing the construction of the large white triangle—the symbol that she has been using in lieu of her name—that she uses as a backdrop for her shows.

Every movement and iteration of the form has shared this quixotic pursuit, from one-reelers to ethnography, through John Grierson and Robert Flaherty, to the Direct Cinema of Robert Drew and friends, the cinéma verité of Jean Rouch and friends, Werner Herzog's "ecstatic truth," on through Joshua Oppenheimer's "all documentaries are a performance" and Laura Poitras's "cinema plus journalism" ethos of today.

It was Breslin, a rumpled bed of a reporter, who mounted a quixotic political campaign for citywide office in the '60s; who became the Son of Sam's regular correspondent in the '70s; who exposed the city's worst corruption scandal in decades in the '80s; who was pulled from a car and stripped to his underwear by Brooklyn rioters in the '90s.

If you wanna get super specious, when Healy smirks, "I'm just with my friends online and there's things we'd like to change" on Monday's set-opening "Love Me," it sounds almost Bernie-bro quixotic: a major component of their crusade is feeling that if they fail to upset the current hierarchy, it's too corrupt to be saved in the first place.

At one point, Barry Goldwater's famous (bone-headed) line, "Extremism in defense of liberty is no vice," emanates from the soundtrack as Baillie repeatedly shoots and manipulates an ad of the politician, who's a spectral figure in this Quixotic and chaotic adventure through the US. With "Quick Billy," Baillie moves from an outer to an inner journey — inner visions, if you will.

And despite the artist's reliance on rugged industrial materials like folded steel and opaque glass, Wilmarth's sculptures exude a quixotic weightlessness that is absent from the work of other steel benders (like Richard Serra, whose massive structures loom heftier and more hulking.) During the '70s and '80s, Wilmarth's talent for the intangible catapulted him to minor celebrity status in the art world.

The choice left to Taylor was stark and simple: Mason Cap could stay committed to Doug's project, mounting a quixotic challenge to the bureaucracy while hemorrhaging other clients who wanted no part of the battle; or it could pull the plug on the project, and on Doug, sending him packing with a check while selling his life's work to the government.

Yang's once quixotic bid to be president -- one during which even the businessman's family and friends asked "president of what?" when he told them of his aspirations -- is now a full-fledged campaign, propelled by a devout following of liberal Democrats, libertarians and some disaffected Republicans who believe his unique policy positions are the perfect antidote to President Donald Trump.

This stylish hippy temperament — laden with spirituality, hidden meanings and symbolism — was exhibited in the period's flamboyant clothing fabrics, in rock concert posters, and album music covers; all basically inspired by the exquisitely flowing lines of Egon Schiele, the art of Aubrey Beardsley and Georges de Feure, William Morris's wallpaper designs, William Blake's visionary drawings, and Mucha's whirling shapes expressing ersatz reveries of quixotic females.

He might have been killed many times: as an aspiring leader in the gangsterish ambience of Havana student politics; in his quixotic assault on the Moncada barracks in 1953, where some of his followers died; or in the desperate early weeks after the botched landing of the Granma, the overloaded pleasure boat that transported his tiny force of 21959 rebels from Mexico three years later.

Advertise on Hyperallergic with Nectar Ads After Marcel Duchamp's death in 1968, the strangest installation was discovered in his studio on East 11th Street in Manhattan: a quixotic diorama featuring a nude, splayed female figure in a pastoral setting reclining so far that her head disappeared while one hand held up a lantern, the entire scene only visible through tiny holes in an ancient-looking wooden door.

About 21944 of those who volunteered were believed to have been killed.

Nobody in Washington was kinder to me as a novice journalist, nobody gave me more hope that my own peculiar vocation was worthwhile rather than quixotic, and few men I met in my D.C. years modeled the Christian virtues of faith and hope and charity so ebulliently, without the air of defensive irony that many of us weave around our unfashionable morality and metaphysics.

That has not stopped SoftBank and its hard-charging founder Masayoshi Son from a quixotic attempt at cobbling together a buyout offer that has been described by those familiar with it as follows: SoftBank would contribute a sizable amount of equity to a new company, which would use that money and new debt financing to offer both Charter and Sprint shareholders a premium for their shares.

After retiring in 1989, Johnson made a quixotic bid to play professional golf, briefly ran a ski school, worked as a carpenter and an electrician, lost money in the stock market as a day trader, moved 11 times in 12 years and sometimes slept in his R.V. He still lived dangerously, driving his Harley very fast, surfing at midnight, racing snowmobiles in Alaska, shooting his guns and drinking heavily.

The next in the series is Maggie Nelson, author of "The Argonauts" and a 2016 MacArthur fellow, who shares her list exclusively with T. "Collected Works," Lorine Niedecker Niedecker lived most of her life in Blackhawk Island, a remote and marshy setting in Wisconsin, where she scrubbed hospital floors and cared for her deaf mother while writing some of the most quixotic, minimalist, moving poems of the 20th century.

My quixotic venture came to a summary end when the Legion, making a rare concession to my mother's entreaties on the grounds that I was not foreign but French, released me back into captivity, this time to the London suburb of Shoreditch, where my father's unlikely stepbrother Markus ran a trading company importing precious furs and carpets from the Soviet Union — except he always called it Russia — and had offered to teach me the trade.

I start seeing people who aren't there and mirages that are actual people who've suffered their own nightmares and quixotic visions about futures that never happen, regrets about realities that never existed, praying for dreams that I've never dreamt, a slackening of muscles and nerves, axiomatic grinding of lost electrons and meditations on words that were never invented, a language based on an eighth sense, and words that make no sense if one assumes time is linear, sound conveyed through mediums other than oxygen, beings that experience life in reverse, and creatures whose fingernails are the size of Jupiter.
