• Art Project #3

  Number of comments: 1
  I finished this one in spring or summer of 2000. I used silver ink on the moon, the leaves, and the human figures in the corners. This is by far the most "organic" of my posters. The text on the four sides is St. Francis of Asisi's hymn "All Creatures'" [...]

• Art Project #1

  Number of comments: 0
  I did this around 1994 or 95 or so. You can see the hint of where my future posters would go, but this is very different for a few reasons. First, there is no religious theme to it at all. It started as me copying a logo from the inside [...]

  Number of comments: 0
  Obama admits he made a mistake with Daschle (even though as late as yesterday, Obama "absolutely" still supported him):
  
  "President Barack Obama on Tuesday admitted he made a mistake in handling the nomination of Tom Daschle as his Health and Human Services secretary, saying Daschle's tax problems sent'" [...]

• Iraq Elections a Complete Success

  Number of comments: 0
  "Iraqis held their most peaceful election since the fall of Saddam Hussein on Saturday, and voting for provincial councils ended without a single major attack reported anywhere in the country."
  
  Time to celebrate the middle-eastern way: by firing guns into the air!

  Should conservatives really get worked up over Obama (supposedly) picking a television guy for as Surgeon General? I mean c'mon, what's the worst that could happen?

• Wacky Nevada Legal Adventures, Part 3,255

  Number of comments: 0
  Ted Marshall owns a warehouse in downtown Las Vegas. He has a barb-wire fence around it to keep out vandals, but apparently it doesn't work very well, because he has had to paint over graffitti six times. The most recent vandal, however, painted something Marshall kind of liked, so' [...]

  Number of comments: 0
  Suppose for a moment that during a criminal trial for murder, one of the jurors decides she thinks the defendant is attractive. So much so that she writes the defendant a bunch of sexually explicit love letters, and then comes to visit him in jail several times. Juror misconduct, right?

• Nevada Revenue Projections Look Bleak

  Number of comments: 0
  From the Review-Journal, a jaw-droppingly obvious article. Nevada has no state income tax, so revenues depend heavily on property taxes. It's a pretty sweet deal if you don't own any property, and especially if you don't stay or play at casinos (another huge source of tax revenue).
  
  So' [...]

  as the dignity of the unborn," Naumann said Tuesday.

  Number of comments: 0
  John McCain's campaign will get audited. Obama's? Not so much, even though his campaign deliberately disabled standard credit card fraud protections so that, for example, North Koreans could donate to him.
  
  Allah puts it well, as usual:
  
  

  Why would they want to audit Obama? The biggest [...]

  Video of gay protestors shouting down a little old lady, stealing her cross, stomping on it, and spitting on her. These are the folks who are upset that others won't recognize their "love."

  John McCain, there are precious few silver linings for me after last night, but one of them is that you lost. Overwhelmingly. You got your sorry butt kicked, and I'm glad. You are a worthless legislator, and I'm glad to see your political career end so ignobly.
