“

Require all paid lobbyists to wear clown suits during their paid hours of work.

In addition, all lobbyists are required to wear three placards, each with text of at least two inches in height.

The first placard lists their total annual compensation as a lobbyist.

The second lists the special interest they work for.

The third lists the total amount of money that special interest spent the previous year on lobbying, regulatory capture, bribes to politicos and political parties, etc.

Every piece of paper issued by lobbyists must be stamped in large red letters, “This lobbying paid for by (special interest)”, and every video, Powerpoint presentation, etc. must also be stamped with the same message on every frame.

”

“The Internet might be useful for creating revolution, but all it’s creating in the Western world is more passivity, more disconnection. It’s a fucking nightmare. When I was 20 years old in New York City, do you think you walked into a coffee shop and saw 40 people staring at $2,000 purchases all made from the same company? And those are all the artists! I talk to young musicians now, and they’re just happy to be making records that get released. They don’t even consider that, in the old days, they could making a living by selling records. They don’t even get paid for their work. All that money just goes to Apple and they’re happy to just have people going to their shows. It just took two generations for Apple and similar companies to convince artists they don’t deserve to get paid and that they should just be grateful for the tools that Apple is providing us to make our work, as if we need them to make our art. It’s very, very fucked up.” —Antony Hegarty

Good things so far today

Odd mystery plant makes entrance in garden.

Peony-pickin’ time.

Additionally, I am finally going to varnish paintings in dire need of such treatment, then off to experiment with summer citrus cocktails (craving lemon, soda and mint / cilantro somewhere in there) and get my watercolor on.

Between that and the gardening and the farmers’ market shopping of this morning, I’m having just about the best day one could have while Sean’s on tour.

Keep it up, Saturday!

Rob Delaney: City Mottoes → robdelaney.tumblr.com

robdelaney:

I love to travel and I recently found out that every city with a population of over 100,000 is required to have an official motto. I looked a bunch of them up online and thought I’d share a few with you.

Chicago: Gateway to America

Boston: Paul Revere’s Bedpan

Cincinnati: Two Ns, One T; How…

“The Attorney-General’s kind remarks are noted and appreciated. I’ve spoken to Ed Burns and we are prepared to go to work on season six of The Wire if the Department of Justice is equally ready to reconsider and address its continuing prosecution of our misguided, destructive and dehumanising drug prohibition.” —

The Wire creator David Simon, in an e-mail to the Times of London responding to Attorney General Eric Holder demand for an additional season of the acclaimed HBO series.
