I guess voters didn’t speak loudly enough last fall, and the Democrats are just as ball-less as ever.

Guess it doesn’t really matter when we pull out of Iraq, because we’ll just be moving the troops to Iran. It’s so much fun having such imperialistic leaders
As an aside, our military strategy, and budget are now dependent on how it affects Israel? Nice.

The Artist Studio: Chuck Close on Google Video
A profile of one of my favorite modern painters Chuck Close.
Arne Glimcher presents a series on great living artists. Following the artist into his studio, Arne Glimcher, presents a relaxed and informal portrait of Chuck Close, his work and methods. From his studio space, to the hanging and unveiling of an exhibition the film shows the artist at work and in conversation, discussing the people, places and artists that have influenced and inspired his work, his inspiration in nature, in the art of past civilizations and the work of artists still producing today. Arne Glimcher is one of the foremost gallerists and contemporary art dealers in the world

(at least that I’ve seen)
Maine’s motto is Dirigo which means “I Lead” , it used to be said “As Maine goes, so goes the Nation”, I hope that is what will happen here.
