Obama Argues His Assassination Program is a “State Secret”
At this point, I didn’t believe it was possible, but the Obama administration has just reached an all-new low in its abysmal civil liberties record. In response to the lawsuit filed by Anwar Awlaki’s father asking a court to enjoin the President from assassinating his son, a U.S. citizen, without...

themattsmith asked: I have a lot of love in my heart for inspiring people. I don't know much about you, but you seem like an inspiring person, and driving to Alaska is a personal dream of mine. No point to this, really, just keep on keepin' on.
Pep talk
caraobrien:
I have a lot of followers. I’m not saying this to brag, because I seriously doubt that most of you are following me because you just really like me. I know most of the appeal of my blog is the fact that I post a lot about human rights and humanitarian issues, and there are a lot of people out there who really do care about these huge problems our world has yet to solve.
I also know...
Anonymous asked: What does something do for you? If it does not move you, move on. Do not waste words and time discussing why you are not moved. To do so, is to counteract your initial instincts.
Anonymous asked: is that really you on the display picture?
bringtheruckuss asked: it's all dada. an anti-establishment non-movement that turned into a movement that is very much in line with the establishment (pop music/art). its all a jar of farts.

sohautrightnow-deactivated20120 asked: I think ever since after post-modernism art is way more heavily subject based, with pieces completely gaining notoriety not on their form but their context (e.g. "Piss Christ," Serrano), or based on the reaction of the audience, etc. Whereas if you think about the thousands of years of art preceding this past century, the balance (for "fine" art anyway) was much, much more...
commedesfuckdwn asked: Question, and not in an antagonistic way, something to really consider. Why does any work have to exist? What makes it art? How are we better on an individual level or as a society for an Ansel Adams photo of a shack in the desert? Or impressionist paintings of rich people hanging out?

hydeordie asked: It's fun that my little sharpie thing spawned some internet interest for a minute. I am glad that you are actively engaging the discussion because it's an important one to have. That being said, do you have $12 I can borrow so I can pick this up? I'll cover the S&H.

I think this work by Piero Manzoni sums up what you are saying about artists' production quite nicely. You've probably heard of this before, but I thought it was relevant.

smutandeggs asked: You are my favorite!
bringtheruckuss asked: tom sachs has plenty of great work (the sharpie is NOT one of those great works) but i totally agree with the post-pop-art bullshit that people get all boned up over. i love print making but god damn, if the subject is shit then it's garbage. its like the difference between 'taking pictures' and 'photography'.
sawedoff asked: You should probably failiarize yourself with Tom Sachs before passing judgement on a joke piece he did.

In my analysis, a key metric to judge the overall economic security and hardship level of a country is the percentage of the population living paycheck to paycheck. Anyone who lives paycheck to paycheck can tell you about the stress and psychological impact it has on you when you know your family is one sickness, injury or downsizing away from economic ruin.

The folks who deliver beer and other beverages to liquor stores have joined the fight against legalizing marijuana in California.
On Sept. 7, the California Beer & Beverage Distributors gave $10,000 to a committee opposing Proposition 19, the measure that would change state law to legalize pot and allow it to be taxed and regulated.

Something I’ve been wondering the last few months is where all you people come from. I mean, I’m just this dude doin my thing and I only follow like 80 tumblrs and I have all these people, from all these places, encouraging me and believing in my chosen life and what I do and supporting my crazy ideas of art and enduring my political rants and all of that crap and there’s just...

mcgmania asked: Hey man, I've just started reading (and can't stop) and wanted to say that I love your blog. Sounds like a real adventure! I have two questions though:
Why did you disapprove of the reference to Christopher McCandless? (I'm not asking because I think you were wrong to, I'm just interested)
When did you know that this was what you had to do?

A Project For You: Dollar Store
frakintosh:
Recently I’ve had quite a few conversations with friends about how thereputic it is to play with Legos or Play Doh or glow sticks. I’ve found that taking a little time to play with inexpensive things that no one takes seriously can totally change your mindset when approaching the other creative things you have to do. So I’ve got a project for you.
Go spend 5-10 dollars at the dollar...
