Chris Marker was a giant (and recently became a personal favorite)—sad.

Kolub And The Mormon Jesus
Yeah, I don't think it matters that a candidate for a national political office believes in something as fantastic as this...do you?
In fact, it would be unfair to point out the craziness of the Mormon faith.

Art Break

This unique Day of the Dead Skull wallpaper was developed specially for Barrio Central and Barrio North, two popular Latin bars located in London.
This high quality wallpaper is screen printed by hand using metallic gold ink on peacock, charcoal, and raspberry. The gold ink allows for the pattern to shine brilliantly under a variety of lighting.
Designed by Emily Evans. Made in London, UK.

I Hate These Fucking People
He is, of course, referring to the reports that a number of men used their bodies to shield their loved ones during the Aurora massacre. Most of us thought of this as a noble and amazing sacrifice, but to the American Taliban, these may have been slutty slut sluts who use birth control (or even worse, vote for Democrats!) and make their own decisions, so whether or not they deserved to be saved is up to wingnut judgment.

Hate To Meet Hate
"The guilt complex of the American white man..."
An amazing conversation.
It occurs to me, that eventhough these journalists were wary and, in a couple of instances dickheads, we couldn't have this conversation now (47 years later)—maybe the 'guilt complex' has made it necessary to pretend that slavery and wholesale discrimination never happened.

H.E.—Dormant, But Now Awake (my hate ethos)
Fucking David Brooks actually wrote the following in a widely read newspaper:
from Why Our Elites Stink (which means they don't really stink I just wanted to say they stink in the headline of my insipid editorial to get people to read it and conclude as I have that our elites are wonderful and simply lack the courage to accept how fantastically wonderful they are...David Brooks pauses to wipe mouth and clean his glasses...)
I’d say today’s meritocratic elites achieve and preserve their status not mainly by being corrupt but mainly by being ambitious and disciplined. They raise their kids in organized families. They spend enormous amounts of money and time on enrichment. They work much longer hours than people down the income scale, driving their kids to piano lessons and then taking part in conference calls from the waiting room.

Steaks, Malt Liquor, and Horse Trailers...
I'm having a lot of trouble getting worked up over Mitt. He's such a miss match for tea party Republicans (and such an incredibly bad liar), I just feel that he can't help but screw himself as the election nears.
I'm probably wrong, and anything is possible.
Updated, from Matt Taibbi:
Romney can’t even be mean with any honesty. Even when he’s pandering to viciousness, ignorance and racism, it comes across like a scaly calculation. A guy who feels like he has to take a dump on the N.A.A.C.P. in Houston in order to connect with frustrated white yahoos everywhere else is a guy who has absolutely no social instincts at all. Someone like Jesse Helms at least had a genuine emotional connection with his crazy-mean-stupid audiences. But Mitt Romney has to think his way to the lowest common denominator, which is somehow so much worse.

Screwed
EAST HAMPTON, N.Y. – A woman in a blue chiffon dress poked her head out of a black Range Rover here on Sunday afternoon and yelled to an aide to Mitt Romney, “Is there a V.I.P. entrance. We are V.I.P.”
(Romney's) motorcade of Chevrolet Suburbans passing a gleaming line of Bentleys, Porsches and a Mercedes Benzes waiting to deposit guests who paid up to $25,000 a head to hear him speak.

Is it ironic or just tragic that the so-called grassroots tea party will do anything to usher in this class of monsters.?

Playing A Guy Who Ain't Smart, But Thinks He Is...That's Tricky
"You went full retard man."
Corollary: Playing for the votes of people who aren't smart, but think they are...that's tricky (and dangerous).

David Byrne & St. Vincent, Who
I "bumped" into David Byrne a couple of weeks ago at a museum. Strange slow motion recognition as he approached, he's looking at me realizing I'm just about to place him...I smile, let it pass, and he seems grateful.
What would I say anyway? Nice jumpsuit...(he was wearing red overalls).

Siksika (Blackfoot)
I'm blown away by these hand colored lantern slides at the Yale University's Beinecke Rare Book and Maunuscript site.
While only interpretations of the color of life within these villages, the decorations of the tepees and the firelight glow from within are both beautiful and profoundly sad...gone...gone...gone...
