Shepard Fairey’s “HOPE” poster more perfect now than ever…

The iconic image for the Obama campaign was the famous Shepard Fairey “HOPE” poster. They even sold signed prints of his work at fund raising events. Fairey’s medium is the totalitarian state propaganda image. From the beginning this was a good match since Obama is a man of strong socialist sympathies, mentored by communist sympathizers. [...]

The ugly face of racism.

I don’t think it is possible to deny that racism exists in America. What seems to be in contention is how much of it, and in what form. Of course how to lessen it’s impact and what sort of societal attitudes are useful to do that are also a point of argument. Recently Keith Bardwell, [...]

Thinking about California’s Supreme Court Decision and Prop 8

Generally speaking points of law get ignored when there is a good freak out to be had. Not only are they complicated but relatively few people even bother to read them and even fewer really have any idea what it is the court system does. The recent decision in CA about Prop 8 is a [...]
