Riley and Andy

I had forgotten about all the movies Warhol made
this is one I hadn't heard of
the museum gives one a sense of how prolific he
was and how many mediums he worked in

the empty bench

Andy obviously loved women
I had the overall feeling that he wasn't ever trying to
be
kind to them, but that he wanted his art to be a conduit
for their unvarnished expressions of self

The Mattress Factory
While in beautiful Pittsburgh, Riley and I visited the
most fun museum ever, The Mattress
Factory. We had a lot of laughs and much amazement, here are a few
pics:

Riley reads a book in the library

a tree stump is recreated from books

starry starry night, with dots

I named this gal Susan. After a while I became
comfortable with her presence, she seemed like
just another person in the room.

I like my women nude and with dots.

this pic was taken in the museum coffee shop
those who know my proclivities can guess
what artistic touch I added
several of the exhibits were great to experience
but did not photograph well
one of the best could not be photographed at all
it was a hallway leading to two chairs in a room of such
utter blackness that no vision was possible
none
not even the outline of fingers
held directly in front of your face
within the room was a thigh-high railing beyond which
as far as one's senses could discern
was complete nothingness

can you taste the thumbtacks?

what shall we call this breed of
democracies
we encourage with our guns and Texas
diplomacy?
howzabout terradems or democrabombs?
yeah democrabombs that's it
that captures the essence

let's go ahead and give Dubai Ports World
those shipping port contracts, what the hell. and as a sweetener, to
help them forgive our recent uncouth behavior, let's include a 35
month contract for Whitehouse operation.

funniest thing I've
read in 3 months
or maybe it's the

"Warner (Chairman John Warner, R-Va) then
jumped in to assure Levin that he would ask Attorney General Alberto
Gonzales to prepare a memorandum on the administration's
interpretation of the law."
John Warner, you are so precious. don't
you ever change

Have you seen the new game show, "Gonzales
or Spit?" it's a little bit Price is Right, it's a little bit Fear
Factor, and it's a whole lotta fun. Come on down:
a contestant chosen from the audience is
blindfolded and spun around
next, the host chooses a celebrity from
the panel to either read a Gonzales legal opinion out loud or dunk the
contestant's head into a bucket of cold spit
if the contestant can correctly identify
which action has occurred she wins a Mazda

I guess this is how our Republican
leadership imagines
an evening in an American home:

Hi honey I just got home
myself. And have I got a surprize for you. Remember Bill the health
insurance guy? No? Well me neither, but he's here. He wants to talk
about insurance. Isn't this great. We'll have a lot of insurance
understanding to do, barely informed choices to make, and get this,
for added fun, the variables we'll be pondering may change during the
course of our enrollment. So not only do we get to choose which super
plan is best for us, but we'll also be wagering on which company is
least likely to screw us. And then there's the donut hole, doesn't
that sound like fun?
That does sound like fun
Sweetheart, how much does it cost?
That's good enough for
me. Come on in here Bill, let's get this party started.

there are choices we must make in this

fun headlines
sounds like Cheney was waiting for him in
the bushes outside the hospital. "I truly believe
Harry Whittington is in his last throes, if you will. You're goin' down
old man."
shorter Rummy, ...they are better liars than
we are, and golly, that's a tough gold medal to win. Liars Olympics,
that's funny, I'm so gonna use that again. But wait just one minute, I
can't be still, I disagree with this outcome, we deserve the gold. I
think we beat 'em on both quality and quantity of lies. And not
only our lies, which are fabulous and plentiful, but also our liars.
This U.S. crew could set your tie on fire and call it Christmas. But
yet those darn crazy terrorists are beating us in results, how can that
be? Don't you see, it's the damn audience. They got a better
audience. Ours is full of, well y'all know what they're full of,
subversive assumptions about rights to privacy and free speech and all
that hooey. That's a lot of baggage on our side, very tough to run a
successful propaganda operation in these conditions. Switch audiences
and we wipe the floor with 'em.
Hooray for Shotgun Man!
Three Cheers for Shooter!
Shoot Me Mister Cheney!
**
and one last quote from the
Theatre of the Absurd
"My family and I are deeply sorry for
everything Vice President Cheney and his family have had to deal with,"
Harry Whittington said.
"And now I must get busy with cashing in the
giant pile of chits I've collected. No rest for the wicked. I can't
believe I'm taking an actual bullet for the team, wow, this is so cool.
And one in the heart, can you believe it? I am gonna make sooo much
money." pretend Harry Whittington said.
who would you most like to see go on
Cheney's next quail shoot?
bye
