I Can Hear The Twisting Of The Knickers Now...

I truly wonder if people think this kind of money just magically appears. What I wonder, though, is HOW is this money generated?

I believe that Sheep Singers is a better term...

Or is that unfair to Sheep? Does it detract from the creative powers that Sheep possess and these "entertainers" don't?

Zing! I'm chuckling after reading this one...

At the risk of riding a joke like a desperate jockey on a lagging nag (made a couple of Target jokes in comments and shares this week... that's what I mean...) , this set of photos is every single Target merchandising exec's wet dream. It's retro and fucking red. And plastic fantastic! They could ride this pony until Black Friday if they play their cards right... just sayin'...

Vincent Van Gogh: World's first painted film debuts in London

"We have definitely, without a doubt invented the slowest way of film making ever devised in 120 years," the director said.

A labor of love is an understatement...

Happy birthday, Mr. Van Gogh.

This is so cool to learn, especially at my age. I am a white, Anglo-Saxon (predominantly Scots-Irish by decent...), Protestant male, and always considered POC to be the same as me, in all ways. But I've not taken the time to get to know the deeper history (and its key founders) of the fight for abolition. This was eye-opening for me, especially since two of the most prominent of those Founders, Ms. Tubman & Mr. Douglas, wagered great risks to themselves in pursuit of righteous things.

This is why I am concerned: history is being changed, rubbed out, redacted, muddled and muddied, and sometimes disappeared. That's scary as some of us older, more open and receptive people don't know these things, so I can only imagine how few a number of people who even know to ask the questions, let alone ask the right questions... As I said, scary...

Let history stand as continual lesson about how far we've come, and the strides made, and, yes, to the work ahead. But don't let factions play that old divide-and-conquer ploy. Push back and look at history for the clues strewn all about, on the topics of peace, equality, and love of every kind.

Peace, kids...

My Zen offering for today.

Barkley: 'Brainwashed' blacks hold up success By Breeanna Hare, CNN, cnn.com

Charles Barkley hasn't met a sensitive topic he couldn't dig into, and now he's speaking on what he calls a "dirty, dark secret" in the African-American community.

During an interview with a Philadelphia radio station, Barkley expounded on claim…

Finally! The voice of reason comes out loud and strong. Class distinctions should not be based on race, but rather on intelligence and motivation. And what Mr. Barkley says converts over to what could be labeled as poor white trash. The problem there, in that slice of the white populace, is that swagger and ignorance are lauded, and education and drive are sneered at. This is why trailer parks scare me more than any ghetto ever could... Bravo, Mr. Barkley!
