More expensive wines taste better than cheaper wines, a new study shows. Even when they are exactly the same wine http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/ideas/articles/2008/02/24/grape_expectations/?page=full

This short series reflects my reaction to a standard photographic representation of Tibet as something static and objectively distant. By focussing on Lhasa I mean to emphasise the contemporary urban nature of a city that is too-often associated with a mysterious past.http://www.asianart.com/exhibitions/lhasanights/index.html
 
This talk on negro gospel music and the origins of AMAZING GRACE is incredible. http://youtube.com/watch?v=DMF_24cQqT0
 
100,000 Years Of Sex! Here is a gallery of the art (not ok for work) http://www.spiegel.de/fotostrecke/0,5538,19072,00.html and an article about the exhibit: http://www.spiegel.de/international/0,1518,464002,00.html  via this very cool website: http://www.thundersnake.com/news.htm
 
 
Admit it guys- wouldn't you fall for this? Can you tell it's a guy?
Transexuals don't have it easy. Many commit suicide after their operations. But there are amazing success stories too!
 
In Europe former Kings and leaders are easily called insane, corrupt- perhaps because the United States is so young by comparison we don't like to do this. Nixon is praised for "opening up China", Hoover is cleared of starting the depression (he was cleared by Truman of all people), LBJ is cleared for Viet Nam with praise for his use of government to end poverty. Even though that plan didn't work. Even Hillary Clinton says George Bush should be praised for his carrying the nation through 911. Bill Clinton says Ronald Reagan is his hero and wrote a long article in VANITY FAIR praising him. Americans do not feel comfortable saying it ever had a bad leader. It is almost as if by saying it, the nation could collapse. This is as childish as wanting the world to love us. The following presents new views on Lincoln, and the last link is an eye opener- the libertarian view of the South's cause!
Nabokov wrote the book called the great American novel LOLITA- but his last book which some have urged be burned and some have pleaded to print, is his most controversial.  http://www.slate.com/id/2185222/pagenum/all/
 
This is the most incredible collection of posters and lobby cards from cool cult movies I have ever seen.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
BEST SITE OF THE DAY:
In spring 2000, Intuit took possession of the contents of artist Henry Darger's living and working space, which was located at 851 Webster Street in Chicago. Intuit's Henry Darger Room Collection includes tracings, clippings from newspapers, magazines, comic books, cartoons, children's books, coloring books, personal documents, and architectural elements, fixtures, and furnishings from Darger's original room.


Darger lived in a one-room apartment in Chicago's Lincoln Park until 1973 when he retired to a nursing facility. In his small room—which doubled as his studio and home for close to 40 years—he worked on a large number of painted and collaged drawings that illustrated the story of the Vivian Girls, created volumes of writings, and collected hundreds of objects (shoes, eyeglasses, balls of string, etc.). The contrast between the intimate scale of the room and the staggering volume of drawings, illustrations, writings, and collections, conveys vital information about Darger's existence and the work he created.

The goal of the exhibit is to create an environment that provides a window onto Darger's world.

This comes to us from Lisa Kezios:
Two masked and machete-wielding men who barged into a club in Sydney, Australia, couldn't have picked a worse night for their robbery -- a monthly meeting of bikers.
art.cruiser.club.jpg

The robbers chose the wrong night to burst into the club where the Southern Cross Cruiser Club have their monthly meeting. About 50 burly bikers fought back with tables and chairs -- pretty much anything that wasn't bolted down. One would-be robber was tied up; the other in the hospital.

Police arrested both.

"These guys were absolutely dumb as bricks," Jerry Vancornewal, leader of the bikers, told CNN Thursday. "I can't believe they saw all the bikes parked up front and they were so stupid that they walked past in."

Surf W/Wild Documentarys!

We are still stuck with re-runs for two months- or are we? These fascinating documentaries are a welcome alternative to seeing the same episode of GOSSIP GIRL for the 12th time. No download necessary, these are streaming.
 
SPECIAL THEME: GREAT DOCUMENTARIES TO WATCH BECAUSE IT'S STILL MOSTLY RE-RUNS ON TV!
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Documentary about how Ireland provided a safe haven for Nazi officials in the years and decades following the Second World War.  http://openflv.com/watch?v=NzI5NzQwMw==&p=0
 
"This Film Is Not Yet Rated" is a documentary from Academy Award-nominated director Kirby Dick and producer Eddie Schmidt - a breakthrough investigation into the MPAA film ratings system and its profound effect on American culture
 
This is astonishing. Shocking and scary. Life in Socialist North Korea.
Some say I could find a way to post hot girls pics even if I was writing about a dictatorship. Where do they get that idea?

Jesus appears in the Koran over 150 times. Discover, The Muslim Jesus! http://openflv.com/watch?v=Mjc4MzYwNw==&p=0
 
The story of how the Russians took Berlin- that was written out of our history books
 
I have to admit, my understanding and respect of Paris Hilton actually increased after watching PARIS HILTON, INC. Ever wonder how she makes money (and she makes an incredible amount world wide that Americans don't know about), well, you may think differently about Paris after watching this too. By the way, on her own right now, she is worth 250 million dollars. Most of that is from abroad. Damn.
 
 
This documentary on Marc Bolan, originally shown on BBC 4, has been timed to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the teen idols tragic death in a car crash. Narrated by fellow glam-rock star Suzi Quatro, it examines Bolans childhood ambitions of fame and where it led him, using previously lost TV and radio interviews, rediscovered Top of the Pops recordings, unseen concert footage and unique home movies.
I am very glad I got to see T.Rex on the U.S. tour 
 
A dramatised documentary following the experiences of Henry Metelmann, a German soldier caught up in the most destructive conflict in history - Hitlers invasion of Russia. The film travels the route that Metelmann and his fellow soldiers took and sees how the choices he made meant he emerged from the war a brutalised man. The film is Metalmanns confession delivered in mostly dramatised scenes from his life at war, intercut with archive clips and contemporary reflections.  http://openflv.com/watch?v=NjI2ODY4MQ==&p=0
 
 
BEST SITE OF THE DAY:
 
 
He was both a visionary and a manipulator, a brilliant orator and a pompous autocrat. In just ten years following his emigration to the United States as a laborer in 1917, Marcus Garvey rose to lead the largest black organization in history, was taken to prison in handcuffs. Marcus Garvey is the dramatic story of the rise and fall of an African American leader who influenced politics and culture around the world.

Writer and filmmaker Alain Robbe-Grillet, an "enfant terrible" of France's literary establishment who helped found the New Novel school in the 1950s, died on Monday aged 85, his publishers said.

Robbe-Grillet became a cult figure among France's postwar intelligentsia with a genre of novel-writing that rejected conventions such as plot, characterization and emotion.

It effectively launched a type of semi-philosophical fiction in which nothing much happens but a vast amount is noticed, imagined or thought. http://www.reuters.com/article/filmNews/idUSL184620420080219?sp=true

These are over 100 years old.  My grandmother used to tell me that the presence of these in a feather pillow meant that they went to Heaven. The small one is age 7 and the slightly larger one was 10. They have never came loose and still feel firm after a century.

If I have to get old, I want to do it in Paris.

It's not because of the dank weather, the constant personal snubs or a fetish for unpasteurized cheese. It's because, quite frankly, I'd like to keep having sex.

In the United States, my odds would be grim. Through our 40s, we American women manage to arrange romps on a fairly regular basis. But the latest national statistics show that by our 50s, a third of us haven't had sex in the last year. By our 60s, nearly half have gone sexless in the previous year. Once we hit our 70s, most of us might as well hang up an "out of business" sign.

So much for the gym-bodied baby boomers who promised to make 60 the new 40, using Botox as an aphrodisiac. Among today's 50-plus women, the problem of sexlessness is as bad or worse than it was for older women two decades ago.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/02/08/AR2008020801607.html?hpid=opinionsbox1

 
It is the favorite scare story of the press today- millions of sex predators roam the internet seeking out children. There is only one problem. It isn't true.

Surf W/Superdelegate Secrets

HAVE SEX WITH A CARTOON CHARACTER, SPIDERS ON DRUGS, IS CASTRO DEAD?, THE $140,OOO HOT WHEELS CAR, ARE SUPERDELEGATES DEMOCRATIC?, DID OBAMA BORROW HIS SLOGAN?
 
At 3 am in the morning Cuba announced that Castro had stepped down as leader of Cuba. This seemed like an odd time to announce both this act and a quickly devised election. Could it be that Castro is dead? What is Castro's story anyway? Read this article for facts no Western publications will print when the announcement of his death is finally made. (When was the last time the press mentioned Castro's plot to bomb department stores in NYC - and blame the Russians, thus starting a nuclear war?).
 
After you read the above article, I'm guessing you wonder how on earth all this information has been lost. Hint: It's deliberate.

This $140,000 Hot Wheels car is allegedly the most expensive toy car in the world, created to commemorate the 40th Anniversary of Mattel's tiny cars and show why Humanity has way too much free time. Why is it so expensive? As you can see in the glittery images, it is all about the 23-carat bling-bling.

Young people. "They've been overparented, overindulged and overprotected.

The press only just began mentioning the Superdelegate process. Hillary may lose primary after primary, but she still leads in superdelegates. She can still get the nomination even without the primary votes! Is this really democratic? Or backroom shenannigans?

In a Washington Post column, Darius Rejali, author of Torture and Democracy, explains why five beliefs about torture are wrong. In a Harper's interview, he answers six questions. "Yes, torture does migrate, and there are some good examples of it both in American and French history. The basic idea here is that soldiers who get ahead torturing come back and take jobs as policemen, and private security, and they get ahead doing the same things they did in the army. And so torture comes home. Everyone knows waterboarding, but no one remembers that it was American soldiers coming back from the Philippines that introduced it to police in the early twentieth century."

Sen. Clinton's new scramble for money -- as well as her campaign's declaration that it is prepared to override the will of the elected Democratic delegates if necessary to secure the nomination -- raise the question of just how far Bill and Hillary Clinton are willing to go to achieve their presidential restoration. Democrats fear that the Clintons are putting their personal ambitions ahead of what's good for the Party and the country, that they are ready to dirty up Sen. Obama with attack ads and dismiss his millions of supporters as -- what one key Clinton backer called -- "a cult of personality."

If the Clintons overturn the majority will, the Democratic convention in Denver could bring to mind the infamous Chicago convention in 1968 when the Democratic establishment imposed its favored candidate, Vice President Hubert Humphrey, on a rebellious rank-and-file, contributing to the election of Republican Richard Nixon. http://www.alternet.org/module/printversion/77287

Jammin' the Blues is a 1944 short film in which several prominent jazz musicians got together for a rare filmed jam session. It features Lester Young, Red Callender, Harry Edison, Marlowe Morris, Sid Catlett, Barney Kessel, Joe Jones, John Simmons, Illinois Jacquet, Marie Bryant, Archie Savage and Garland Finney. For some, this is their only known appearance in a theatrical film. Barney Kessel is the only white performer in the film. He was seated in the shadows to shade his skin, and for closeups, his hands were stained with berry juice. Lindy Hop legends Archie Savage and Marie Bryant do the Lindy Hop (Jitterbug) on this footage. Directed by Gjon Mili and selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnqXWCWSLIY

THE DAY NOTRE DAME FOUGHT THE KKK!, FBI MAY HAVE FRAMED THOUSANDS, THE DEATH OF MASS CULTURE, 5 MOST OVERLOOKED CITIES IN U.S.!
 
A six-month investigation by 60 Minutes and The Washington Post shows that there are hundreds of defendants imprisoned around the country who were convicted with the help of a now discredited forensic tool, and that the FBI never notified them, their lawyers, or the courts, that the their cases may have been affected by faulty testimony.  
 
The science, called bullet lead analysis, was used by the FBI for 40 years in thousands of cases, and some of the people it helped put in jail may be innocent.
