* Politics: Update on Bush Monkeys

The Bush Monkeys portrait that I wrote about a week or two ago is now being projected on to a billboard above the Holland Tunnel in Manhattan.

You gotta love it. There's nothing like censorship to make great PR.

* Chimpy

Somebody does a portrait of George Bush using monkeys to form Chimpy's image. Hilarity ensues.

Seriously, though, read the article, and tell me why I should not be boycotting Chelsea Market.

* Loudocracy

Wow, I just noticed that Loudocracy is now being linked to by Corrente, one of the few essential blogs that I read daily. I didn't even ask. I'm pretty psyched. Many thanks, if anyone from Corrente is reading this.

But I guess I picked a bad time to be less than active in my posting ... hopefully this will be an incentive to get me back into gear.

Although I must say, it's not just because I've been busy elsewhere. After the election, I remained immersed in the news for awhile, but lately I just don't see things as being as interesting in the political sphere. I'm even reading fiction again. Probably I'm still in the denial/avoidance stage ...
