RANDOM POLITICAL POST
commander pissypants is in tantrum mode over the AG DECISION he made. and i just read an illuminating passage in the lady bird bio i am reading. book sucks, but she stopped with the freudian BS. LBJ didn't want to think about or decide about running in 68' because he felt it would make him unable to lead. i think georgie has hit that 'failure to lead'.
we can only hold on til 09'. stoopid prick.

FRIDAY ART BLOGGING
BIG fish painting. i found a picture of these fish in my weekly calendar and i HAD to paint it. and i painted it BIG. about 4 1/2 x 5 1/5. i made it rather 'impressionistic' or more modern undetailed, but if you look at it. there is depth, which i never planned on. it just happened. always seems to happen. one of the few paintings where i worked most of the canvas. no underpainting i think. fishes last tho. maybe that's how they can be swimming in space.
hard to get the colors right in photo tho.
i then did it in stained glass. my 1st fish painting.

but, certainly nice for the ego.

RANDOM PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN POST
RHETORIC VS REALITY: STEPHEN COLBERT - PLAYING LOOSE WITH THE FACTS
CLAIM: Edwards abandoned South Carolina when he was one year old.
FACT: Edwards was born in South Carolina, learned to walk in South Carolina, learned to talk to in South Carolina, and will kick Stephen Colbert's New York City butt in South Carolina.
"Stephen Colbert claims to represent a new kind of politics, but today we see he's participating in the slash and burn politics that has no place in American discourse. The truthiness is, as the candidate of Doritos, Colbert's hands are stained by corporate corruption and nacho cheese. John Edwards has never taken a dime from salty food lobbyists and America deserves a President who isn't in the pocket of the snack food special interests."
found on DU and too funny to stay there.

RANDOM HEATER POST
one of my 'newer' heaters. also one of the best ones for heat. solid copper bowl, not plated. a tiled bathroom is very cold in winter and it was time to put it back in the bathroom. i will do a bigger heater post after i am doe with benedicte trip, sarah's, and the cottage.
and fall.
by the way, these pre-WW2 heaters are really cool, and if you don't put a towel over them and their cords are in good condition, they are quite safe.
tho too much dust will cause a flame out. i got hooked on my 1st hotpoint i got at a rummage sale eons ago.
