Canvas bag backlash
These crack me up
Nailed It!
Czech photographer Vlad Artazov uses nails to create sculptures of everyday situations. A couple examples:
The rest of the series is here. Via Andrew Sullivan’s The Daily Dish, which has been one of the best news sources over the past month.
Dog Mayor!
Rabbit Hash, KY knows how to run an election. Meet their mayor, Lucy Lou.
Personally, I think the cat candidate was robbed. Travis was 2nd runner up- from his bio:
“Travis chose Rabbit Hash and you should choose this cat to be the new Mayor of Rabbit Hash. He is the ONLY candidate that actually resides in Rabbit Hash.” Sad. More information on this historic election here.
Female Urinals: what gives?
In my unnamed office building, 30 out of the 120 bathrooms contain something called “female urinals.” They look like this. I have no idea how to use them. Luckily a high-level governmental official has been made aware of the problem.
If I ever tell you I want to watch Gossip Girl…
shoot me in the face please. Because this show is terrible. Seriously. It’s a brain abortion.
Kenneth Parcell and Bobby Jindal: Separated at Birth
Whooooooaaaaa….as my temporary housemate just pointed out, Bobby Jindal sounds and looks A LOT like Kenneth Parcell from 30 Rock. There aren’t any YouTube videos of his speech yet, but I will add tomorrow.
vote for the White House Farmer
DO IT HERE
Let me recommend one of the 2 Indiana farmers in the race. As a Hoosier, I can tell you that Indiana folk know how to farm. Crop rotation is the first thing we learn in grade school. No joke. Soy beans, corn, soy beans, corn, etc. But seriously, vote for Terry Himelick of Victory Acres. nuff said.
awesome photo from inauguration
i wish i had gone but i had my first day of classes and im a big wuss about the cold
from hassa- the photo actually came from here though
another brooklyn blog…
BROOKLYN 11211. this one reports on development and happenings in williamsburg, greenpoint, and bushwick. it’s kind of like newyorkshitty with fewer pictures and more neighborhood news and politics. i liked this picture of redhook and the reports on bk bikelanes.
How to Stump Anti-Abortionists With One Question
Saw this blog post and thought it was an interesting angle on the abortion issue. Basically, no protesters havea good answer to “If abortion was illegal, what should be done with the women who have illegal abortions?”
Loving America doesn’t mean putting it on your walls
WARNING: Red, white and blue isn’t a good design scheme.
LOVE this dress and yay for Jason Wu
It’s a Cinderella story. In the Advocate, Wu says dressing Michelle was a “long shot.” Aw he is so young and great and Michelle looked BEAUTIFUL. Also in just one day, Michelle Obama wore stuff made by a Cuban-American woman and a 26 year old gay Asian dude. Minorities, CHECK!
its almost that time…
….inauguration day!!!! Here is a sweet Obama v Daft Punk remix brought to my attention by Nadia, from pitchfork.
Daft Punk vs. Adam Freeland – “Aer OBAMA” from Gold Greendot on Vimeo.
im re-loving this movie
I saw Cradle Will Rock when it first came out in the late 90s and I don’t think I knew who Jack Black or Tenacious D was. The movie is on channel 11 right now- everyone should watch or netflix or something. I’m hungover and enjoying my couch time jfyi.

Importnat News: Shepard Fairey is hot and sassy
Did you see him on Colbert tonight? So cute in his denim jacket and sassy pants. And talented. Mmm.
Vintage Barack & Michelle
love it. thanks, politico.
Really out of date but interesting article about Vermont
My sister sent this to me back in February and I just read it now. But it was really interesting and accurate. Note the part about Buddhist converts.
Duggar Family: Stop having babies please
I mean, c’mon. Seriously. Your uterus must be aching.
Oh DC crime…
When will you ever stop? Washington Mayor Adrian Fenty was confronted face-to-face Thursday with some of the district’s crime problems, when it turned out the host of the morning talk show he appeared on had been mugged in the city an hour earlier.
Thanks Justin for showing me this sotry.
Speechwriter matate
Whoops. Guess 27 yr old Jon Favreau should start untagging some questionable pics on his facebook account before he heads to the White House as head speechwriter. The Secretary of State is not gonna be too pleased. I was just saying how cute he is..
Blog of the Day: illdoctrine
As of this morning, I’m obsessed with the ill doctrine blog (or vlog, whatever…) This guy makes witty videos about hiphop and politics mostly but I recommend his post on Wal-E as well. The ludacris/obama and “no homo” posts are also awesome. Here is one on hipster rap (think lilmama)…
Sarah Palin fail
Yum yum turkey
Barackuccino please!
Shout of to Molly for sending this to me. Looks delicious. Is this a comment on his skin color? I’m going with yes.

Sarah P’s office
In case you wanted to know what it looked like. Here’s her chillin in it on Friday:
And here’s her lounging around last year:
FYI: her dad killed that bear.
This email practically made me cry
I can’t believe Barack found the time to email me before his acceptance speech. And I can’t believe that he won the election because of ME!! Ahhhhhh LOVE.
Stephanie –
I’m about to head to Grant Park to talk to everyone gathered there, but I wanted to write to you first.
We just made history.
And I don’t want you to forget how we did it.
You made history every single day during this campaign — every day you knocked on doors, made a donation, or talked to your family, friends, and neighbors about why you believe it’s time for change.
I want to thank all of you who gave your time, talent, and passion to this campaign.
We have a lot of work to do to get our country back on track, and I’ll be in touch soon about what comes next.
But I want to be very clear about one thing…
All of this happened because of you.
Thank you,
Barack
Thanks for the info, Fox News.
Sarah Palin didn’t prep for Couric interview, doesn’t know her continents..

More fashion slideshows of female polticals
The new Jackie Kennedy? I think their styles are pretty different (aside from both not being afraid of sleeveless dresses). I like the leggins, Michelle.
Cindy McCain’s four-day love affair with the color orange
I think the orange dress in the pic is cute but not age appropriate ( it would look better on me). See more.
Vote Pepsi
You know what the Pepsi redesign reminds me of?
eh?
Because I’m a dork…
…and used to attend maya hieroglyph/epigraphy conferences and study the glyphs for fun more or less (though I was never quite as dedicated as my good friend david).
Mayanists for Obama- might be better than my pin that says “kittens for obama- meow for change in 2008″
Thanks Roganoff
oh yeah, you can buy that shirt HERE
let’s free John McCain
This first piece – “Free John McCain” – is a satire about an alternate universe where McCain defects from the GOP and unleashes his inner liberal.
From HERE
Adam’s friend did this. I like how you can recognize all the locations, like Union Square and the escalator inside Philene’s Basement/ DSW on 14th Street. Well done!
Ok, I’ll admit it.
She really is a high-fashion Alaskan and does look good for a woman in her 40s. But just like John McCain being hot once upon a time and not being able to lift his arms due to years of torture…it doesn’t mean she’d make a good VP or Pres. However, I like her tied jackets and how she “breaks up the suit” (something I’m really scared to try).
Dancing with the enemy
Great job, photoshop.
McCain face matate
This photo is really priceless.
A MySpace Bulletin from Dr. Steve Brule
Of course Dr. Steve Brule is in my top 8 friends… read up on his big news:subject: I’M GETTING MARRIED!
“And mummy said it’d never be so.
So long, “Living on Your Lonesome.”
I’d like to announce that I asked one Miss Sarah Palin to marry me at a recent McCain-Palin campaign stop here in Penty and she said HELL YEAH. No, make that SHIT YEAH.
We took the Justy to the arcade and I showed her the difference between “Mortal Kombat” and we played air hockey. Things got a little frisky. I am starting to wonder what she’s gonna say when she finds out I’m a virgin.
Sometimes, when it’s just me and her, she calls me “First Dude” and I feel like so AWESOME. Sometimes we get all lost in our words and forget what we’re saying. And sometimes we just make stuff up so we can look all smart and words and fun and stuff.
And she totally gets the thing about eating ants cuz they’re made outta protein.”
