"It would be a disgrace and a humiliation if Barack Obama does not win," Woody Allen told Spanish journalists at the ongoing 56th San Sebastian film festival, where his latest film "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" is being screened.

"It would be a very, very terrible thing for the United States in many, many ways," he said.

Oy Mama Mia Mia. Would that be a disgraceful disgrace and a humiliating humiliation and a very, very terrible terrible thing on par with that of you, Woody, wooing'n'screwing your adopted step-daughter? Just asking.

Vajimmy Psychosis

The New York Sun today provides one more reason to consider anew Miss Coulter's 2000 take on repealing the 19th Amendment:

Even some prominent figures admitted to being overcome by anti-Palin feelings. "I am having Sarah Palin nightmares," an acclaimed playwright and writer, Eve Ensler, wrote on the Huffington Post. She said she was disturbed by the chants about oil and gas drilling during Mrs. Palin's speech to the Republican convention. "I think of rape. I think of destruction. I think of domination," Ms. Ensler wrote.

Acclaimed prominent figure Eve, old chum (yes) of Barbarella Hanoi Jane Vadim Hayden Turner Fonda, prepares to vote with her mouth.

Celebrity Apes

Couldn't find celebrity ape Metro Matt Damon, but did find Sean Penn. Couldn't find celebrity ape Mrs. Bill Clinton, but did find daughter Chelsea. Politicians? Hey, there're alotta of them in there. And some of the spouses. No Todd Palin yet ya hey there. But if I post ape pics of Mr. & Mrs. O-you-know-who-ama I'll be accused of you-know-whatism. Don't want any of that around here so let's start with suds baroness Cindy McCain, okay? Okay. Then you go look for yourselves.

Cindy McCain is an American ape philanthropist, who is the wife of United States Ape Senator and 2000 and 2008 ape presidential candidate John McCain of Arizona. It is reported that Cindy has a different style, but similar jewelry to Michelle Obama, ape wife of John McCain’s rival, Barack Obama. Cindy is also a recovering ape drug addict.

Google to sell first branded phone for $199: report

-- Google Inc.'s much-awaited mobile device based on the company's "Android" software is expected to sell for $199, a published report said Wednesday.
Departing from the practice of listing only the manufacturer and wireless carrier, the device will also showcase the Google brand, The Wall Street Journal said in its online edition, citing unnamed sources.
The Google phone is expected to be introduced on Sept. 23, the Journal said.
The Google phone will be manufactured by Taiwan's HTC Group and will require service with T-Mobile USA, a unit of Deutsche Telekom.
The report said T-Mobile plans to introduce data plans that would make the phone "aggressively priced." Google will contribute resources to develop the phone as a way of helping T-Mobile reduce its costs, the report said.

Happy Art, or: Openings I Missed

Wasn't it Mrs. Jimmy Carter who said, of Reagan, "I think he makes us comfortable with our prejudices." Tru dat in the art world, ain't it? They all comfy in their lofty bias thanks to Mr. Reagan.
Above as appearing in the current Art Forum that's Peter Saul's 1984 piece called Ronald Reagan (Abortion) -- in case you were wondering. And David Lachappelle's butcho stuff is for sale now, in NYC. Nice two-toned pecker on Ivan Witenstein's Time Bomb Shell (2007), don't you agree? Could that be a half-Kenyan dick? Dunno. Does it matter? Dunno.
Okay, I'm done with art for today.
'Cept to say I prefer the intimate elegance of the JFaye yard art hanging out back at my place. It's a west coast thing, having art that doesn't evoke any Cheney. Gonna go home and put some lipstick on that pitbull pronto. C'mere boy.

Where's Jill Greenberg When You Need Her?

This just in from Art Forum as critiqued by Andrew Hultkrans
David Dames being waterboarded at a performance in conjunction with Steve Powers's Waterboard Thrill Ride.

Inside the room ... two paramedics stood by a gurney behind the crowd of thirty or so spectators (many of them journalists). Powers introduced himself and the event by saying that he didn’t intend the Thrill Ride to be political art, but “more like life drawing,” a representational act that “couldn’t be pushed to the right or the left.” He praised Coney Island, where he has lived and worked for years, as a “good place to confront horror.” He noted that today was the Feast of the Assumption (when Mary ascends into heaven) and that Catholics worldwide celebrate it with water rites.

Defending the provocative artwork ... Powers has said, “What’s more obscene, the official position that waterboarding is not torture or our official position that it’s a thrill ride?”

Now, let’s be clear, anyone who maintains that repeated, ritualized suffocation isn’t torture is a) not being serious, b) is an authoritarian sadist, or c) is covering his ass for war-crime liability. Powers has generated a lot of gawking press with his rather unsubtle piece, but at least he’s willing to eat from the pot he’s stirring, which is more than one can say for Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, John Yoo, and Alberto Gonzales.

Yeah, another piece that can't be pushed right or left. I kinda remember that the Feast of the Assumption is also observed with fruits and herbs. Probably some of that going on here too. Herbiness and fruitiness. Why is it not a surprise that many of the voyeurs, er, art loving spectators present were journalists? Or that our critic could fit in a side-eye to Dick Cheney? Or that when the boarding was over and the fluids towelled up all in the audience were invited to the Freak Bar next door, for "beer and bonhomie?" Down the hatch, bro.

Russians Like: Putin, Obama, Kid Broasted, Satan, Hawn and Damon

"A separate survey showed that if Russians were allowed to vote in U.S. polls, they would prefer Democrat Barack Obama to Republican John McCain."

Rest In Peace


In related news, four teenagers were slain by center-left Russian Satanists — stabbed ### times each and then eaten.
The Russian gang of center-left Devil supporters, Obama worshippers and Damon fans butchered their victims and roasted them on a bonfire before devouring their flesh while watching pirated dvd copies of The Girl From Petrovka and The Bourne Identity.
One center-left Russian cannibal and student of the Democrat party platform (USA cell) did not expect to be punished, saying: “Satan will help me to avoid responsibility. I made lots of sacrifices to him. I was a community organizer.”

I'm Just Saying

"According to Neilsen, "The Oprah Winfrey Show" audience consists of 8.6 million viewers daily, 75 percent of whom are women. Of these women, more than 50 percent are over 50, 44 percent earn less than $40,000 annually, and 25 percent have no more than a high school education."

Gotta ask, then, who makes up the demographic of those 25 percent of Oprah viewers who are "not" women?

Classy, ain't they?

For a moment I thought that was Terrified Metro Matthew Damon.

Out Donna Karan, in Sarah Palin?

Sarah Palin's red peep-toe Naughty Monkey pumps
As Fashion Week closes today in New York City, the Wall Street Journal reports on perhaps the most influential style trend of the past two weeks: Sarah Palin's style. According to the Journal, "Many women are snapping up her choices of shoes and eyeglasses and blogging about which brand of lipstick she wears. Hairstylists and wig sellers report sudden demand for her trademark up-dos."
Governor Palin’s style is a mix of both sharp professional pieces and fashion-forward accessories. She wears flattering skirt suits and is a fan of Escada, according to the upscale secondhand store that she frequents in Anchorage. She accessorizes with rimless Kazuo Kawasaki glasses and Franco Sarto boots and red patent leather Naughty Monkey peep-toe pumps. As every woman knows, a pair of red high heels enhances both confidence and sex appeal. And women who don't naturally have Palin's long dark locks and bangs can now buy a Sarah Palin wig.
What's most notable about Sarah Palin's style is that unlike the fashion trends seen on most celebrities, it's accessible to women of even modest means. After all, she shops secondhand stores and her famous red peep-toe pumps are under $100.
Now, what kind of lipstick does she wear?

Aaron Horwitz: Finding Good in a Bad Day

Once, Aaron Horwitz had what most people would consider a supremely lousy day. A friend asked him how he would rate it, from 1 to 10, with 1 the worst.
"Eight," he replied.
You could get a contact high from Mr. Horwitz, 24, a bond broker at Cantor Fitzgerald with the almost laughable responsibility of entertaining clients and making them feel like the most important people in the world.
As if anyone had to pay him. For he was not just a showman, who did the Michael Jackson moonwalk on bar tops and who, at a museum, drew his own masterpiece on a mist-coated window next to a Rembrandt.
He seized souls, not letting go until he made them merry. He met a guy in a toy store and, moments later, the two were having a hula hoop contest. He insisted a concierge stop weeping over a bad breakup, then called her at 2:30 a.m. to make sure. He sweet-talked hostesses at four-star restaurants into producing tables for eight (and their phone numbers for dates) and persuaded a street masseur to let Mr. Horwitz give him a massage.
"You could talk to a brick wall," his father told him. Yes, allowed the son, but he preferred chatting with a mirror. He often did so, then fell over, laughing.
Homework: Scroll down to next post. Compare Aaron's happy face to the faces of those followers of the Religion of Peace. Discuss.

Lunatic Fashion

Another day in my high school, another September 11, another "town meeting" to commemorate the day. Let's read the names of the dead. Let's discuss how this affected me. Let's boo hoo hoo. Let's us us us. Victims this and victims that.

This is not to say I don't shed tears about this. See above. But count me out of the group hugs. I cry alone.

Read the names? Hell, call me hostile but effin' yeah, I'm more interested in looking at the ugly mugs of the ugly sons of ugly bitches who pulled this off. Call me hostile, but effin' yeah, I'm more interested in discussing their evil. That might be a better commemoration -- and a better use of community time -- than oh so reverently reciting three thousand names.
Evil exists people.

Meanwhile, here's a partial from Victor Davis Hanson. As always, he seems to get it.
The Other 9/11 Story
What has and hasn't happened in the seven years since September 11, 2001.
The truth is, we chased al-Qaeda from Iraq and Afghanistan and it is now in lunatic fashion chasing Danish cartoonists, European novelists, and opera producers as it cuts the fingers off smokers, tries to cover up the genitalia of animals, and looks for the mentally ill to strap on suicide belts.

Long after Jacques Chirac, Michael Moore, Gerhard Schroeder, and Cindy Sheehan have come, gone, and nearly disappeared, a General David Petraeus and thousands of American soldiers and diplomats like him remain. George W. Bush is reviled, in part because of an inability to articulate what the war against terror was, and what it was for. But Bush hatred has been reduced to a sort of politically correct trinket, worn around the neck of the clannish critics as a reminder of the President’s ineptness in expression or supposedly dangerous views — without examining what others might have done to achieve the same results of achieving freedom from further attack.

But in years to come it may well be said that the president kept us safe for years when none thought he could, and removed the two most odious regimes in the Middle East and replaced them with the two best — and confronted a confident and ascendant radical Islam and left it demoralized and discredited among its own host Arab and Muslim constituents.

In the present toxic environment, all of that is not to be spoken — but all that has nevertheless happened since September 11.
