Art, art and politics

Hello world!

I will be back in Brooklyn tomorrow again for the opening of the Train Car Show (see below) which today was featured on the website of everyone's favorite magazine, Juxtapoz! This is a big deal, folks and you should show Scott Albrecht, the man behind the show lots of love by showing up at Papa B tomorrow, Friday, October 11th, 2008 AD for the opening. The address is 907 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY 11206 and the time is 7:30 pm.

My friend Steve has informed me via secret electronic-mail and textual messaging communiqués that the Memory Cloud installation in Trafalgar Square has been going swimmingly! He said that they have been getting a great response to the project and were interviewed on the BBC. Not only that, but the weather guy did the forecast from their installation! I love a world.

I have been brewing up all kinds of political observations all week that I intend to write about, but I have been pretty busy, so y'all will have to wait till next week for them. I would like to give you all succor, if you, like me, have been irked at the cable news (and presumably network news) coverage of the bullshit Ayers allegations. Tomorrow the Legislative Council report on Troopergate will come out and in advance of this, we have the following doozy from the New York Times:

D O O Z Y !!!!

The McCain/Palin "campaign" will doubtless not cease their pathetic and ungrounded attacks, but will also have to go into a defensive crouch here and the media narrative with regards to all this nasty stuff will roll over to scrutiny of Troopergate. I think that the McCain camp was basically throwing up flack in an attempt to confuse the matter when Troopergate inevitably came back around.

I doubt that the Ayers rubbish was really moving too many undecided voters, but the facts of the Troopergate scandal, as they will be laid bare tomorrow will at least undermine any attempt to shiv Obama over whom he supposedly associates with, and the allied issue of "judgement". I mean, COME ON!! McCain picked this malicious clown as his running mate! You want to talk about guilt by association and poor judgement? There you have it, in a nutshell - a wingnut, to be precise.

Hopefully all of this will clear the air so we can get back to discussing real issues, for instance, our current economic apocalypse. I, however, won't be discussing them in this forum this weekend, so if you want my opinion you'll have to come to Brooklyn or New Jersey, folks. On that note, bye for now and have a fantastic weekend!
