McCain
Despite his honesty and integrity, John McCaine reminds me of a character out of Dr.Strangelove. Who needs diplomacy when we have air force?

Art life In Texas
McKINNEY, Texas - School officials say they are appalled by altered photos — including heads on different bodies — in hundreds of McKinney High School yearbooks delivered this week.
Besides the head and body switching, some necks were stretched, one girl's arm was missing, and another girl's head was placed on what appeared to be a nude body, with the chest blurred.
A spokeswoman for Minnesota-based Lifetouch National School Studios Inc. said the alterations were "an unfortunate lapse in judgment" by an employee but didn't believe it was malicious.
The high school had required Lifetouch to make heads the same size and eyes at the same level in all student photos, company spokeswoman Sara Thurin Rollin said Saturday. The request was "unusual and definitely very particular, but that's not to suggest what happened here is acceptable," she said.
Rollin declined to say if the company fired or reprimanded the employee who altered the images. She said Lifetouch is taking full responsibility for the altered pictures, about 30 in all, and will pay to have the publication reprinted before the seniors graduate.
Lori Oglesbee, the school's yearbook adviser at McKinney High School, said the yearbook staff would spend the weekend rebuilding the yearbook.

Obama
One may only hope that Barak Obama wins the coming nomination and the November elections. He is our only hope against the international conspiracy of morons! ONCE IN A LIFE OPPORTUNITY!

Russian Beavis and Butt-head
Future Russian president Medvedev (I'd never seen him happier, amazing) and Gazprom CEO Miller with Deep Purple. I wish they'd graduate to Pink Floyd at least. At the tender age of 42 listen to Deep Purple is kind of scary. Kinda Beaves and Butt-head thing.

SOS Angels at the Pompidou Center (Marcella Mairota and Masha Romanova project for St. Valentine's Day)
On Feb.14th, all the roads lead to the Pompidou Center in Paris for a great jewelry give away (almost)! Don't miss it!
Philly, subway
I sometimes think how many people I see every day that I will never see again. It gives me an eerie, yet pleasnt feeling of total disengagement and atomization, the sense of total alienation from my current living environment.

Polaroid
Latest from AP : "Polaroid Corp. is dropping the technology it pioneered long before digital photography rendered instant film obsolete to all but a few nostalgia buffs...
Polaroid is closing factories in Massachusetts, Mexico and the Netherlands and cutting 450 jobs as the brand synonymous with instant images focuses on ventures such as a portable printer for images from cell phones and Polaroid-branded digital cameras, televisions and DVD players.
This year's closures will leave Polaroid with 150 employees at its Concord headquarters and a site in the nearby Boston suburb of Waltham, down from peak global employment of nearly 21,000 in 1978.
The company stopped making instant cameras over the past two years..."
What a pity, I am one of those polaroid "buffs". No digital camera can do what polaroid camera can - a proven fact. Its a real old-fashion tool of making great imagery.
