omigawd I cannot believe the Palinites + McCainites going on so stupidly endlessly about MARXISM when referring to taxes!  And now they've brought that Sam I Am Not A Plumber Named Joe on the campaign trail! Please, the Bushites have brought down the democratic standards + economy of the entire world.  Enough already.

what is happening down south?

You have this VP wanna be babbling endlessly about what Joe whose real name is Sam, the Plumber who isn't a plumber because he hasn't even bothered to get his plumbing education or accreditation bitching about possibly paying Clinton-era taxes on OVER 250,000 for a plumbing business he doesn't own and probably never ever will because he doesn't even have his plumbing degree.  What?  What?  Our politicians may be on the boring side, but never ever in Canada would our media or our populace put up with such nonsense.  Although we did have Preston Manning.

Sia in un quadro di grandi dimensioni sia in un cammeo, Rey ci insegna a leggere l’anima delle cose e ci ricorda, scarnificando la propria pittura, il valore altrettanto grande dell’immenso e del quotidiano, racchiuso nel senso profondo della vita, che, come in un gesto Zen, si riduce in un soffio di semplicità. (too cool, a review in Italian.  Thank you  Maria Guilia Alemanno, it is, I'm sure my first Italian review.)

Lovely poster by Shepard Fairey, LA based politically themed artist.

Kyoto#2, Stephane Dion's Dog, 9x10, watercolour on Canal paper, 2008

A toast to a fine leader (+ his fine dog) who is probably toast   It's a sad testimony to the times that a sincere, honourable man like Stephane Dion, leader of the Liberal Party of Canada, who we ALL know is right about just about everything plus the carbon tax + the measures that must be taken, etc. but just didn't have enough of that oily Entertainment Tonight, (Canada version) sleaze to charm enough Canadians to get off their butts to vote.  A toast to an honest strong man, a dying breed. 

toot toot. Wonderful review of my Thomson House show in Vie des Arts

Now available at newstands near you.  Like Obama responding to his endorsement by Colin Powell, I am beyond honoured and deeply humbled. Big warm thanks Dorota (Kozinska) + David (Astrof).

"On Good and Evil"

It is obvious to me 
Who the good guys are in this one
And who the bad guys are. 
The bad guys are the ones 
Who say Israel is a stinking corpse, 
And should be wiped off 
The face of the earth. 

That's not a good guy.

(To K. Couric, CBS News, Sept. 25, 2008)

"You Can't Blink"

You can't blink. 
You have to be wired 
In a way of being 
So committed to the mission,

The mission that we're on, 
Reform of this country, 
And victory in the war, 
You can't blink.

So I didn't blink.
