Can You Etch-A-Sketch?

Friday, January 30th, 2009 by Nicki

There are a ton of great art pieces showcasing our new President. None quite like this one, though.  This artist (George Vlosich) uses one of our favorite childhood games - the Etch-A-Sketch - to create gorgeous, er, sketches.

Here’s the article and more of Vlosich’s Etches.

Magnifique!

MoveOn is Sounding Shrill

Thursday, March 6th, 2008 by Rich

Is it just me or is Moveon.org getting shrill?

A few weeks ago it was laughing at the republican party because they couldn’t choose a candidate. Something that seemed odd at the time because the Dems had two strong candidates but had yet to decide on either one. Seems even stranger now as the GOP has settled on a candidate–one Rush Limbaugh seems to think is more liberal than Hillary–and the Dems still can’t decide.

Yesterday I received another MoveOn email that started:

It’s official: John McCain is the Republican nominee. That means that as of today, his No. 1 priority will be attacking our candidates.

He’s already accusing both Clinton and Obama of wanting to “surrender” to terrorists because they want to end the disastrous occupation in Iraq.1 And now his attacks will get much louder: He’s got access to enormous party resources, including the whole Republican noise machine.

Now, I’m not sure where the “surrender” quote came from, but I also heard the GOP getting on McCain because he had referred to both Obama and Hillary as “patriots.”

Seems no one likes this McCain guy; not the Dems, not MoveOn, not the GOP faithful, and certainly not Rush Limbaugh.

MoveOn makes me feel dirty for supporting either Dem candidate right  now.
