[Tacky Pro-Bush Garbage] Sickening Bush campaign contribution questions courtesy of Dean's weblog. Throw this dangerous idiot out of the Washington and back onto his daddy's lap.
Question: "Can I use my personal aircraft for campaign business?"
Answer: "No, you may not use your personal aircraft for campaign business. Corporate aircraft may be used, but only if each person boarding the plane pays the equivalent of a first-class airplane ticket."
Who the hell are these people? "my personal aircraft" in a FAQ? It's quite clear who the Bush Administration is representing and it isn't you.

["...they have the worst frontman in the history of rock"]
I love allmusic.com. Across all genres they basically try to provide informative, hype-free writing by people who have a breadth of perspective with music. Their evenhandedness dictates that they rarely skewer an artist or band with anything that remotely resembles condemnation. Not so on this piece of critical ass-tearing!

Von Dutch - Originator of Modern Pinstriping
"I make a point of staying right at the edge of poverty. I don't have a pair of pants without a hole in them, and the only pair of boots I have are on my feet. I don't mess around with unnecessary stuff, so I don't need much money. I believe it's meant to be that way. There's a 'struggle' you have to go through, and if you make a lot of money it doesn't make the 'struggle' go away. It just makes it more complicated. If you keep poor, the struggle is simple. "
More Von Dutch ("the man, not the hat") links and info at Rumpsville.
There are apparently quite a few people really pissed about how a trend-shop in Hollywood bought the deceased artist's name and trademark and is using them to sell $50 t-shirts.

Inconspicuous Consumption
What is inconspicuous consumption? It's about deconstructing the details of consumer culture -- details that are either so weird or obscure that we'd never see them, or so ubiquitous that we've essentially stopped seeing them. This can mean anything from a bizarre canned good, like sauerkraut juice, to a beautifully designed light-industrial object that we've always taken for granted, like the Brannock Device

French card deck names most dangerous U.S. Leaders.
I know this is a valid form of political protest, and the French were never known for their sense of humor, but isn't this card deck thing getting kinda stale?

Floys belong to the flocking Alife creatures variety, sharing with them the social tendency to stick together, and the lifelike emergent behavior which is based on a few simple, local rules.
