Hey, I saw the saucers, man... The saucers...know what I'm sayin', dude?

Oy vey.

I'd feel comfortable having a beer with McCain.

Using a sophisticated system of smoke, mirrors and mass hypnosis, Bush, the CIA and the Mossad orchestrated 9-11. In the ensuing confusion, the Twin Towers were quickly dismantled and sold to the Chinese. A missile and not a passenger jet hit the Pentagon. No plane went down in Pennsylvania, and no one was killed. All of the so-called 'terrorists' are alive and well, living peaceful lives in the Middle East. Don't ask me how I know this: I dont. I just believe it. I'm a total idiot.

By golly, how could I ever have forgotten these guys? Still a smashing sound:

1664 1664.3

1502 is ok, but not 1503. AND STAY THE F

Meatloaf.

The kids are alright....

Me2.

I haven't read the Spanish-language article, but in the Guardian piece, the gallery owner states that the dog was actually fed at intervals by the artist (when the public was not present) and that it 'escaped', rather than died. In other words, a provocation and ultimately, a hoax - all for 'artistic' purposes. Given the photo documentation - which lacks any images of a deceased dog (and which normally would have included this, given the way the event had been documented up until that point) - there may be some reason to believe that this was true and that the dog did not die. In terms of provocation, the installation was certainly a success: the Guardian claims a half-million signatures of protestation (on another petition?), plus numerous death-threats against the artist.

Just think of the starving millions who could have been fed. What an eggotist.

I thought I'd pass this on as well: in the midst of the hoopla about the release of Martin Scorcese's film on the Rolling Stones, I learned of a 'banned' documentary shot in the early seventies - a film which was never released commercially and which has rarely ever been seen: Co*cksucker Blues. I'm watching it now, after having downloaded it from The Pirate Bay: grainy and in black and white interspersed with color, it has a definite cinema verit

Looks like some kind of Chinese shell game to me. Probably replica eggs as well.

Just wait until Dani finds this. In the meantime, we could talk about TTK

You rock!

I disagree.

Please, read and sign the petition. You are also welcome to spread the word. On 2007 Guillermo Vargas Habacuc, a conceptual 'artist', took a street dog, tied him with a short rope to a wall of an art gallery and let him die slowly of starvation and thirst as an "installation". For several days the artist and the visitors of this art gallery witnessesd the agony of the poor animal, until at last he died of starvation and thirst after painful, absurd suffering. That's not all: the prestigious CentroAmerican Biennial of Art decided that this brutality was art, and Guillermo Vargas Habacuc has been invited to repeat the cruel "installation" at the next Biennial on 2008. LET'S STOP HIM ! Link to the 'artist's' website which documents this in Spanish, with photos: http://www.elperritovive.blogspot.com/ The online petition with over sixty thousand signatures: http://www.petitiononline.com/ea6gk/petition.html

I agree.

As a former journalist and magazine editor, my avatar is a hommage to truthful and unbiased reporting, embodied by a man who will forever be considered as the benchmark and gold standard of these ideals....

Christ, if only it were still like this.

I was sleeping.... As in a dream, I felt someone calling my name.... I woke up.... AND THE SHORTEST THREAD EVER WAS BACK!!!

What about the stuff we don't know, Doc?

Overcast and as depressing as ever in Paris: don't know if it's day or night - haven't even seen the sun for weeks.
