So What Does THIS Tell You?

I just ran across this article that states that a non-partisan group that tracks campaign money was pretty shocked to discover that of all the military serving over seas at the time they made a campaign contribution, deployed service men and women have contributed almost SIX TIMES as much money to the Obama campaign as they have to the McCain campaign!

That is a huge shift from 2000 and 2004 when the deployed military substantially supported the Republicans.

Hmmm...

In the words of an old colleague of mine, "I'm not sayin'... I'm just SAYIN'!!"

And, what do you think of those Obama posters by Shepard Fairey? I love his old propaganda style!

I also ran across this fun website which makes some fun parodies of his artwork. A few of them are real groaners but some of them were laugh out loud funny! Check them out here.

LOVE This!

Art Imitates Life

I just got turned on to this artist whose name is Ron Mueck who is an Australian "hyper-realist" sculptor who is now working in Great Britain. According to Wikipedia, his early career was as a model maker and puppeteer for children's television and films, notably the film Labyrinth, for which he also contributed the voice of Ludo.

These photos I have posted really really do not do this guys work any justice. You can look at better shots here, or check out this video on youtube.com that was made by some guy in Uruguay but really shows Mueck's work very nicely. And its only 5 minutes long. And the music is cool. You got time. Trust me.

PS: If looking at genetalia is bothersome to you, you might want to avert your eyes.
