People of Delaware, you will get what you deserve. Why are we insisting on electing morons to higher office? What makes them so appealing? Why don’t we hold educated candidates in higher esteem?
…A highly skeptical O’Donnell questioned Coon’s assertion that the First Amendment calls for the separation of church and state. “Let me just clarify: You’re telling me that the separation of church and state is found in the First Amendment?”
Coons responded by quoting the relevant text: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.”
“That’s in the First Amendment?” a still skeptical O’Donnell replied smiling, as laughter could be heard from the crowd.
Pure awesomeness: Heavy Metal Picnic. Brought to you by the same guys who produced Heavy Metal Parking Lot.
This forum post about a 102 year old lens on a modern Canon 5D is cool for several reasons. The first is that the idea and execution are amazing, as are the resulting photos. The second is in the 4th picture down… notice a familiar sign?

From the always interesting, inspiring, and eclectic Selvedge Yard: Django Reinhardt, the Gypsy Godfather of Jazz Guitar. I didn’t realize Django was only playing with two fingers on his fretting hand (!?!), which is the equivalent of Michael Jordan playing basketball with one arm and one leg.
I got a Facebook notfication that Massive Attack and Thievery Corporation are on tour together, which is basically a concert full of WIN. unfortunately they are only playing at select small venues, none of which are within a 5-hour driving radius of our house.
I stumbled on this forum thread this evening while waiting for Photoshop to restart: New girl with a Metro. A Metro is a very rare, very desirable art-deco inspired delivery van made by International Harvester from the 30’s to the 60’s.
