Quietly Seething?

It has been about 21-22 years that I've been pissed at the way politics run in America, ever since I was doing my little part to fight the Right in 1983-4, wearing my anti-Ronnie pins in my ultra-conservative junior high, in my ultra-conservative home town. I got pushed around a little then, which only made me more certain that I was on the right track. In years since - about every four years - I feel simultaneously like leading the revolution and also like crawling into a cave, far away from televised politics.

I still have faith in people, but -20% faith in bipartisan politics.

Instead of offering a personal rant today, I offer you one by a friend. Call me quietly-pissed, but Dan is steaming with rage and fire. If the current Iraq/Corporate BS/New Orleans/Patriot Act disaster bugs you too, I suggest that you read this, sign it if you wish, and thank Dan for sticking his neck out a bit.

Back from the dead.

It has been awhile, and for that I apologize.

Good news, however.

The aforementioned potential employment has turned into a reality. Check me out at SaneWave! (click here)

Also, I have been invited by the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery to participate in their "Portrait of an Artist" weblog where I expose my art life for the next 4 months. Click here for more exciting info. The jury will be out for awhile on the portrait competition.

I promise to update better in the future.
