Anyone else tired of this look?

I wonder if 38 year-old Shepard Fairey was aware of the visual phenom he would start when he designed Obama’s iconic posters. The art is a nice mix of Communist propaganda and graffiti stencil styles in muted blues and the Commie red, all in the “big face” trademark of OBEY GIANT. I truly enjoyed its [...]

Mid-Summer Update

Greetings, you bloggeratti you! I’ve been off the blog for a few months. Not for a lack of happenings. It’s just that I spend most of my day in front a computer screen that the last thing I want to do is spend my spare time in front of the screen. Besides, not much spare [...]

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy Day!

Going under the knife today! This will be my first organ removal. Fasted for the past half day, no food or drink, and this morning had no coffee. No problem not eating for 20 hours having stuffed myself with a huge chicken shwarma from Pita Jungle yesterday, but first thing I’m consuming after surgery is [...]

Rolling Stones

The gall stone saga continues. My doctor recommended I see a surgeon about my stone problem. I did. Surprise! The surgeon suggested I have my gall bladder removed.
“Can you just take the rocks out?” I ask. Apparently they don’t do that any more. So the answer is, no. They remove the whole fucking thing. The [...]

I got stoned

Shortly after arriving from San Francisco I noticed stomach cramps occurring after meals. My first suspicion was that awesome Asian food of my last couple of days in the city. A week later, the cramps persisted. Two weeks later cramps turned into pain. A sharp pain in what I thought was my stomach.
Being an oldster [...]

Post election black and blues

Election day was travel-day for me, spending half the day at the San francisco airport. It was up to the voters that day. The climax of Project White House 08. I purposely tried to avoid the cable news that day. I walked up Powell Street to grab breakfast and prepare for a day of [...]

Amateur Politics or Genius Maneuver?

Seems a PWH08 candidate has learned that he can easily manipulate an on-line poll. Normally, upon discovering such a flaw, the right thing to do would be to bring such a problem to the attention of the pollster. However, if the poll was working on your behalf, a candidate may keep that to themselves. Understandable. [...]

The Great Debate of 08

The Official Project White House 08 Debate was held last night at the Tucson’s Community Cable station and moderated by the famed politico Journalist Jim Nintzel. I don’t know how he does it, how he stays so composed, so good lookin’. I don’t know how. The candidates did a superb job answering questions pre-submitted via [...]

CNN blog moderators NOT racist!

Funny thing happened the last few days. I’ve been commenting around the major news blogs trying to drum up support or at least attention for Project White House 08. I’m not a paid agent of the Project. I just want to get the word out about this historic attempt at using the democratic process. I [...]
