Monday, August 4th, 2008…and this JingleBabies CD is already driving me nuts.
…left until Christmas, and this collection of samples of baby sounds turned into Christmas carols is going to drive me nuts. If I don’t buy it now, I’ll forget about it until Christmas, when I’ll be saying to myself “damn, I wish I’d bought that JingleBabies CD, it would be really fun in this Xmas mix I’m making”. If I DO buy it now, when Christmas rolls around, I’ll be saying to myself “damn, what a waste of twelve bucks, this was really only funny for about ten seconds as an audio preview”. Decide for yourself. Listen to Silent Night, as sung by babies.

Faces of Evil? Where’s the Bush-Cheney Edition?

Saturday, August 2nd, 2008Or maybe an evil corporate leader version?
Hans Weishäupl’s artistic project and exhibit Faces of Evil explores a concept well-summarized by Einstein’s oft-quoted statement that “The world is not threatened by evil people but by those who allow evil things to happen”. Weishäupl created uncanny images of several dictators by taking photographs of over 350 people from each dictator’s homeland, and creating a composite image using various software tools. The results are a thought-provoking reminder that we are usually, like it or not, equally responsible for the actions of our more evil leaders. Hey Hans, if you’re reading, I’m sure I speak for many when I say I’m looking forward to the Bush/Cheney edition!

Friday, August 1st, 2008And I Thought They Shopped At KKKMart
Ever wonder where the KKK gets their stylish apparel? Mother Jones has an insightful piece that focuses on 58-year-old “Ms. Ruth” who works seven days a week making KKK robes, blessing each one (I’d love to hear THAT prayer). The Audio/Photo Essay was assembled by New York photojournalist Anthony Karen, a former Marine who spent several years photographing members of the KKK. When Ms. Ruth isn’t busy making robes, she says she’s taking care of her animals, including her “chickens, puppy dogs, and sugar glider“, or teaching her granddaughter how to take over the business. It’s strange to see and hear someone with such an offensive view on humanity talking so casually about their life. On that note, I must confessed that until today I’d never visited KKK.com, where they inform you right away that they’re “Bringing a Message of Hope and Deliverance to White Christian America! A Message of Love NOT Hate!” and that “Our Entire Group of Sites are Family and Christian Friendly”. Weird.
