Is McCain trustworthy?

Can John McCain be trusted to be in charge of the nation's checkbook? I say he is not to be trusted with money. His own wife of 28 years does not trust him with money.

from Wikipedia - "they made a prenuptial agreement that kept most of her family's assets under her name; they would always keep their finances apart and file separate income tax returns."

So if John McCain is not trusted by his own wife with her money (estimated to be $100 million), can the American people trust him with their money ( estimated to be a lot more than $100 million)?

The Lord Works in Mysterious Ways

Could this be the work of Satan, or the Lord's punishment for homosexuality? Well, since no one died, maybe just punishment for a fleeting homosexual fantasy. Or maybe someone in the van said abortion. Who knows? Lord knows!

US strike on al-Qaida kills children

So, how is Iraq better off now than it was when Saddam was in power?

Instead of Saddam's henchmen making folks disappear, and holding them indefinitely while torturing them, the CIA or some contractor outside the rule of law (whatever that means now!??!?) does that. We have stepped in and filled the power vacuum...

Officials say Obama looking for a VP

"Likely Democratic nominee Barack Obama has begun a top-secret search for a running mate..."

Anything wrong with that statement?

Outdoor Stop Motion Animation

A friend, V, sent me a link to this video. Don't know much about it other than it is #@$@!! cool. Can't imagine how much work it took. How many hours and gallons of white paint. What pigments did they use? Interesting obsession with heads opening up. How much was set beforehand and how much did the idea evolve as the film was made?

Classifications

Thought of a way to classify dance companies into classical, modern, post-modern:

Classical - named after a place -> Ballet Russes, American Ballet Theater
modern - named after a person -> Martha Graham Dance Company, Paul Taylor Dance Company
post modern - named after anything else -> Lower Left, Body Cartography

Is this true for every case? No, but I think there is some truth to it. Takes us back to the question of what defines classical, modern or po mo. Is it the tool, the aesthetic or the logic? See picture below for relationship. Much work done now is still modern in terms of logic but the tools are different than the tools of traditional modern. Maybe that is what contempory work is - modern/classical logic with post modern tools.
