April 27, 2011. At the request of the White House, the State of Hawaii today released the long form birth certificate of Barack Hussein Obama II. And the President held a brief press conference to address the issue.
Hopefully a troubled nation can now rest easy, and direct its attention to two wars, a stagnant economy, the price of gas, unemployment and - you know - other minor challenges that America faces in the early years of the XXIst Century.
ABC No Rio Gala & Benefit Auction - Building Fund 2011
Tuesday May 3, 2011 / 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM
Hosted by Allegra LaViola Gallery
179 East Broadway, Lower East Side
For over 30 years, ABC No Rio has been a vibrant part of New York City's radical cultural scene. It is a welcoming venue for emerging artists, internationally known for its commitment to a socially engaged culture. No Rio has meant many things to many people, but its mission remains constant: a commitment to political and social engagement, to an expanded vision of possibility for the lives of our neighborhoods, cities, and societies, to a place where people share resources and ideas to impact society, culture, and community. This benefit will allow this tradition to continue and flourish.
Festivities will include beer, wine, buffet, guest DJ's, brilliant conversation and spirited bidding throughout the evening. Local restaurants Alias, Two Boots and Roots & Vines will be providing delicious finger food that can be washed down with beer courtesy of Brooklyn Brewery and wine from Communal Brands. Ticket prices for the event will begin at $50.

April 15, 2011. Qaddafi's forces have now taken to using cluster bombs and ground-to-ground rockets against civilians, unleashing the sort of "building by building" and "person by person" violence that he promised in his infamous February rant. Here is the Zenga Zenga video again, this time with appropriate English subtitles.
April 14, 2011. During the Congressional budget hearings, Representative Joseph Crowley (Democrat - NY) offered a brilliant recapitulation of Bob Dylan's silent cue card performance of "Subterranean Homesick Blues" in the D.A. Pennebaker documentary Don't Look Back. How better to show utter contempt for standard issue Republican complacency?
