Why hate on McCain? He’s an exem­plary Sen­a­tor. But that doesn’t mean he’d make a good Pres­i­dent. Keep him in the Senate! 

Pre­sent­ing… the McCain for Sen­ate ’08 bumper sticker.

Get your Bumper Sticker now! Just $5. A por­tion of the pro­ceeds I will donate to the Obama campaign.


Digg!

Seen on a bumper sticker out­side the Dripoloa­tor Cof­fee­house.

If you’re not part of the solu­tion, you’re part of the precipitate.

I sure would like to have a dig­i­tal cam­era again. I find that there is a large amount amus­ing sub­stance to the world around me, and I’d love to cap­ture some of it.

Good think­ing. Ideas for other Pres­i­den­tial Tributes:

  • The William Taft Memo­r­ial Bath Tub
  • The William H. Har­ri­son Pneu­mo­nia Reha­bil­i­ta­tion Center
  • The Harry Tru­man News­pa­per Accu­racy Council
  • Ulysses Simp­son Grant Memo­r­ial Whiskey Tavern
  • The Eisen­hower Military-Industrial Condominium

Any other ideas?

One of my favorite pieces of polit­i­cal design, and cer­tainly the best to come out of this coun­try in a long time (have to give it up to some of those Stal­in­ist era Soviet posters; see http://sovietposter.blogspot.com notice Valentina Kulagina’s work, of the Lenin period) is the Barack Obama PROGRESS screen­print poster done by Shep­ard Fairey.

So it was with par­tic­u­lar delight that I ran across this: Make your own Obama Poster

Espe­cially for Masons. I had no idea that Secret Soci­eties had such senses of humour.

Sesam­strasse; Just in case you won­dered whether this ever existed.

The real point of this post:

Recent dis­cov­er­ies and accomplishments:

  • Some of Emily Dickinson’s poems are absolutely ter­ri­ble. These, how­ever make excel­lent country/gospel tunes; “If I could stop one heart from break­ing,” is a good example.
  • Auto­di­dact
  • The Tale of Genji
  • Red Gui­tar
  • The Big Lebowski
  • Hil­los­o­phy” (folk wis­dom, e.g. )
  • Get­ting out of debt — the hard way.
  • Pur­chase of a Vic­trola! A 1921 VV-50, cur­rently on lay­away. Suit­case model.
  • Finally acknowl­edg­ing my inher­ent mate­ri­al­ism, and stag­ing a per­sonal revolution.
  • Deduced the dif­fer­ence between kern­ing and track­ing by acci­dent when some­one asked me what it was.

Do your chil­dren enjoy jazz music? For I am here to tell you that Cab Cal­loway, Dizzy Gille­spie, Duke Elling­ton and the whole weed-blowing, ginger-colored lot are merely mas­querad­ing as musi­cians and are in fact agents of evil. Reefer slows down the smok­ers’ sense of time, allow­ing them to squeeze in unnec­es­sary “grace notes”, giv­ing this voodoo music the power to hyp­no­tize white women into indulging in unspeak­able acts of degradation.”
