Good tune! » Posted By Buddy McCue On February 11, 2011 @ 9:01 am I read about that here: http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2011/02/saudi_king_abdullah_to_obama_d.html » Posted By Buddy McCue On February 11, 2011 @ 8:35 am Thanks for the link. Man! Those people sure look happy! » Posted By Buddy McCue On February 11, 2011 @ 8:03 am I can’t wipe the smile off my face! This is great! Man, I hope things shape up the way the people want them to. Keeping my fingers crossed. » Posted By Buddy McCue On February 11, 2011 @ 8:01 am Wow! This. Is. Big. If the Egyptian people get the self-governance they want, then this is as big as the end of colonialism. Before France had to let go of “Indochina” and the U.K. had to let go of India and all, there probably wasn’t even a word “colonialism” being popularly used. Big countries simply owned little countries; that was just normal. Until it wasn’t. Didn’t happen overnight and didn’t happen easily, but it was a very big deal. This could be as big as that. There might be some term they’ll use in the future to describe larger countries supporting tyrants and dictators in smaller countries. Maybe they’ll call it “Empire By Proxy,” or “Second-Hand Dictatorship” or something. I realize that I’m simplifying things, but this really is big. » Posted By Buddy McCue On February 11, 2011 @ 7:50 am Thank you for the links. I think I’ll start with that George Osborne article. » Posted By Buddy McCue On April 2, 2011 @ 2:23 am WTS – It’s good of your friend “A” to write about the recovery efforts. I don’t think I could have done that. I probably would not want anyone to know what I was going through. I would want the rest of the world to leave me alone, and not look at me or talk about me until things shaped up. I’m glad to hear of the people there bearing up under the enormous challenge of this. But I suppose it’s like you say, “There is no other way.” I looked at before-and-after pictures yesterday, and it’s just so hard to believe the amount of damage that has been done. We’re donating money, as so many other people are, but it doesn’t feel like enough. » Posted By Buddy McCue On March 18, 2011 @ 5:50 am jkkFL – When you said you weren’t good at anything, I KNEW you weren’t being entirely truthful, and that you were just being modest. What you just said here really is beautiful. I couldn’t have done it. Every time I try to think of something to say in the face of this awful tragedy, I realize that my words could only cheapen my true feelings. After reading your artful message, all I can do is stand beside you and say, “Me too. What he said.” I feel terrible about what’s happened in the Land of The Rising Sun. » Posted By Buddy McCue On March 15, 2011 @ 2:30 pm How do you manage to keep functioning in the face of such tragedy? It’s more than I could do, I’m sure. You are one courageous lady. » Posted By Buddy McCue On March 14, 2011 @ 6:54 am I was going to add “and making people afraid and angry,” but I notice that that’s probably covered under “foul propaganda.” » Posted By Buddy McCue On March 7, 2011 @ 10:10 am I bet that’s really picturesque. I can certainly picture it in my mind’s eye. Down South where I am, all the fruit trees are blossoming and the cacophony of birdsong is incredible. We have nesting mockingbirds out front, and they are very talented singers. Our mockingbird is a veritable Miles Davis; he can improvise melody all morning long and never repeat himself. » Posted By Buddy McCue On March 2, 2011 @ 7:30 am A clever video editor could splice together clips of the two of them to make it appear as though they were arguing. I can imagine that. It would be a funny YouTube video. » Posted By Buddy McCue On March 2, 2011 @ 7:25 am The Secret Service says the case is already closed: http://voices.washingtonpost.com/plum-line/2011/02/secret_service_interviews_geor.html » Posted By Buddy McCue On February 25, 2011 @ 8:45 am Okay, you’ll hear from me. » Posted By Buddy McCue On February 13, 2011 @ 5:39 am Thanks, but I don’t really see it that way. True these folks don’t deserve any favors, but my drawing them isn’t actually doing them any favors. Sometimes I feel helpless and that the world is spinning out of control, and I tend to draw people I don’t like. I don’t know why that helps. Nailing them down to a piece of paper gives me the temporary illusion that I have a handle on things. I know that’s a little weird, but I’m not celebrating or promoting these people. » Posted By Buddy McCue On February 13, 2011 @ 5:37 am Sounds pretty wild. » Posted By Buddy McCue On February 13, 2011 @ 5:30 am Thanks. » Posted By Buddy McCue On February 12, 2011 @ 7:50 am The Statue of Liberty? No, that really didn’t occur to me, but I can see it. Those lines coming out of her head are supposed to represent an over-abundance of self-esteem… » Posted By Buddy McCue On February 12, 2011 @ 7:49 am I can try! » Posted By Buddy McCue On February 12, 2011 @ 7:46 am I had to go to your page in the Member Directory to see that a little better (although it’s still kinda small.) Looks like a good painting! I like that reflected light on her face. Is there somewhere on the web where I can see more of your work? » Posted By Buddy McCue On February 12, 2011 @ 7:17 am Ha ha! To tell the truth, I was afraid I made her look too manic. » Posted By Buddy McCue On February 12, 2011 @ 7:13 am Yeah! Great tune! It really HAS been a long cold lonely winter. » Posted By Buddy McCue On February 12, 2011 @ 7:08 am Good morning everybody! I thought I’d share some drawings I’ve made of people we all know. I don’t always draw people I like; sometimes I like to draw people I DON’T like very much (but I still try to do the best job I can.) Here’s one of Senator Lieberman laughing: Senator John McCain: And even THIS person: » Posted By Buddy McCue On February 12, 2011 @ 7:01 am Thanks, I may just do that. I like “jumping in the fray” every once in awhile. BTW, what does that picture illustrate? Perhaps it’s a comparison of the left and right’s influence on the mainstream media? » Posted By Buddy McCue On February 11, 2011 @ 7:42 am Good Morning, and Happy Friday! » Posted By Buddy McCue On February 11, 2011 @ 7:35 am I visited “over there” this morning, and managed to invite some people that I like over here. I fully expected my comments to go to pending limbo and stay there. I referred to this site as “P l a n e t P O V.” Maybe that’s how I avoided the Mod Squad; I don’t know. » Posted By Buddy McCue On February 11, 2011 @ 6:23 am For some reason I was thinking “persistence of vision.” » Posted By Buddy McCue On February 11, 2011 @ 1:39 am ADONAI – It’s not so crazy. Manufacturing output can go up without job numbers going up. It’s because of the increased productivity of each worker. High unemployment and a scary jobs market does wonders for a worker’s ability to turn out more product in less time. In the signshop where I work, everybody’s trying to make nice with the bossman and work as hard as possible, now that we have to beg for each day of employment. It’s humiliating, but people do what they gotta do. » Posted By Buddy McCue On June 30, 2011 @ 2:36 pm Taibbi is ceratinly right about her true believers, and how they usually interpret criticism of Bachmann. He says “…there are a great many people in America just like Bachmann … who can’t tell the difference between Soviet Communism and a Stafford loan, but can certainly tell the difference between being mocked and being taken seriously. When you laugh at Michele Bachmann for going on MSNBC and blurting out that the moon is made of red communist cheese, these people don’t learn that she is wrong. What they learn is that you’re a d***, that they hate you more than ever…” How does one argue in circumstances like those? » Posted By Buddy McCue On June 28, 2011 @ 12:40 pm I very much like the fact that this little act of political theater was open to interpretation. Very well done. It would have narrowed it somewhat if this performance artist had provided an explanation, saying, “See, my point was this…” Much better without that. Makes the audience think more. He kind of reminded me of Stephen Colbert at the end of it. It’s straight-faced satire. » Posted By Buddy McCue On June 23, 2011 @ 3:00 pmComments Posted By Buddy McCue
