There's as much bad art made as bad poetry and bad novels. Which is to say, most of it. They mark themselves as ignorant poseurs, they who actually pay for the stuff; on the other hand, this keeps them from handing out their money more dangerously.

A government minister has sparked a furious row after posting a naked picture of herself on Facebook.
Daisy Tourne, Uruguay's interior minister, posted the snapshot above the caption 'there's nothing more natural than a woman in the shower.'
Scandalised opposition leaders have branded her an exhibitionist and said her actions were unacceptable, particularly as she had responsibility for the police. I think it's in very bad taste that the minister exposes herself so intimately,' former Vice President Luis Hierro Lopez told newspaper El Pais. 'Ministers have to be more austere, modest - above all the Minister of the Interior.' Lawmaker Jose Amorin called the photo 'frivolous.'
This from the land of Latin machismo ...
Tourne, responded on her page on the popular social networking site, saying the photo was not made available publicly or intended to be erotic. She said it was taken in a shower used to rinse off sand after a visit to the beach, according to El Pais which reproduced the picture showing only Tourne's hands and laughing face beneath running water.
The newspaper reported that ruling party lawmaker Victor Semproni backed Tourne, commenting below the picture: 'I'm thinking about taking a photo of myself in the shower, but a full body shot.'
Facebook has attracted more than 140 million users worldwide since it began in 2004.

Gov. Blagojevich's lawyers will boycott the impeachment trial in the Senate later this month. Lead defense lawyer Ed Genson said the governor instructed him not to show up.
"I think the rules the Senate adopted are unfair," Genson said.
Lawyer Sam Adam Jr. said neither he nor his father will be there, either. Genson, Adam and Sam Adam Sr. comprise the bulk the of governor's legal team.
"It's a kangaroo court," Adam said. "You can't possibly get any fairness out of it. It's completely un-American."
It's not a court. It's an impeachment trial.
Adam said the trial was akin to a "lynching" and likened tactics by senators to those used at Guantanamo Bay. President-elect Barack Obama has said he plans to shutter the prison at Guantanamo Bay. "He's closing Guantanamo, they're reopening it in Springfield," Adam said of the upcoming Senate trial.
Well that's a little over the top ...
Adam also said he thought it was appropriate that the Senate has asked for the legal team to file an answer Monday, which is Martin Luther King's birthday.
"How appropo, how appropo," Adam said. "Injustice somewhere is injustice everywhere," he said, quoting King. He urged senators to read King's "Letter from Birmingham Jail," on Monday.
Genson complained the rules prevent him from calling witnesses and cross-examining witnesses called by the senators who will decide the fate of the governor. Blagojevich has been accused of abuse of power, including federal allegations that he tried to sell a U.S. Senate seat.

You heard it at Rantburg first.
Paki is racist now, but it won't be too many years before it will be racist to say Packistan instead of Pahkastahn. First it will be ignorant, then it will be racist.
We can thank Barry for getting that one rolling for us. Within his first year the network and some cable news anchors will begin pronouncing it that way.
Hopefully it won't catch on, like when Qatar became Cutter for a while after the invasion of Iraq. But I suspect there's a lot more Paki-appeasers than Qatari appeasers.

Anyone who dares to point out that the emperor has no clothes will be tagged as racist. It's already happening.
President-elect Barack Obama's secretary of the interior nominee, Sen. Ken Salazar (D-Colo.), said he will consider restoring parts of an expired federal ban on offshore oil drilling, but told CNSNews.com that he has "no idea" how much of the drilling restrictions should be reimposed.
Salazar spoke to CNSNews.com outside his confirmation hearing in the Senate Committee on Natural Resources on Thursday.
Back in June, President George W. Bush lifted an 18-year-old executive order banning new offshore drilling that had been put in place by his father, President George H.W. Bush, and extended by President Bill Clinton.
At the end of September, Congress, which was in the midst of crafting a $700 billion financial bailout and facing nationwide pressure to lower gas prices and remove the ban, allowed a 26-year old moratorium of offshore oil drilling that had been annually attached to the Interior Department funding bill, to expire. A more recent moratorium on developing shale-oil lands, which are mostly in the west, also was allowed to expire.

Republicans need to show this and similar moves for what they are. A deliberate to manipulate oil prices.

Oil prices began dropping from their peak the day Bush announced an end to the drilling ban. Oil price graph
Of course the News Media is so in the pockets of the socialists that they would never make the connection.

He would. He holds a premier membership in Dipshits of America Society. We have several Coloradans here. How did this fool get elected to anything anyway ? Who did he pay off ? Now he's positioned to do some real damage
Gov. Rod Blagojevich, worried he would be a "distraction" given the impeachment and criminal charges against him, won't be going to Washington for President-elect Barack Obama's inaugural festivities, a spokesman said today.
The governor was invited to several inaugural events, but won't make the trip, Blagojevich spokesman Lucio Guerrero said. "He doesn't want to be a distraction from Obama, and unfortunately he thinks (his presence) would be," he said.
One invitation came from the Democratic Governor's Association before Blagojevich's Dec. 9 arrest, Guerrero said. As far as the governor's office knows, the offer hasn't been rescinded.

To understand the next 4 years you have to understand the world according to Chicago . While it is a city of Illinois it is also a completely different country with a whole different set of morals and language.
There are only three rules there which anybody can understand. You don't even need an attorney to understand them and if you need an attorney, well . . . you know too much, so look out for Rule #3!
RULE #1 No matter what you see, hear, or do you don't know anybody and you don't know nutin!
RULE #2 If you capture something on tape or camera it doesn't reveal nutin!
RULE #3 If you know what anybody knows in Chicago , well . . . dat's da last ting you'll ever know and you'll wish youse never knew nuthin!
First there were Obama T-shirts and bumper stickers. Now there's a Compton charter school named after the president-elect.The former Qued Charter Elementary School changed its name to the Barack Obama Charter School earlier this week. The original name was always intended as a placeholder -- "Qued" is a mash-up of "quality" and "education" -- and parents at the school overwhelmingly wanted the school to be named after Obama. The board approved the change unanimously

Appropriate since the rest of the country will look a lot more like Compton four years from now.

They could end up being embarrassed if the One doesn't turn out to be the greatest president ever. But then I suppose they could just say he was the greatest president ever even if he wasn't.

Anybody with a casual interest in the machinations of the liberal mind is already familiar with the standard anti-Israel talking points. Supposedly, Israel is a horribly aggressive power simply because their military is more effective at killing Hamas fighters than Hamas is at killing Israeli civilians.

For most of my life I've questioned the sanity of someone who always favors the perceived underdog regardless of the circumstances of the conflict.
What about wanting the best guy to win? Doesn't that represent the optimum approach to life?
Another flaw of the left.

That is because for the left its about victimhood, they have no comprehension of 'self inflected wound'. We grant power to victims and for the left, its all about power.

Not Hamas fighters. Hamas war criminals and terrorrists. It is a war crime to purposefully target civilans like the Hams dees. It is a war crime to fight out of uniform like Hmas does. It is a war crime to take positions between civilans like Hams does. It is war crime to, like I have seen it performed, just grab children in the street and carry them to the front lines like Hamas does

Silly JFM - don't you know none of that applies to clowns groups like Ham-ass?
Just ask the Lefties - they hold darker-skinned people Ham-ass and their ilk to far lower standards than they hold Americans Westerners. You know, because those people they can't be expected to live up to Western standards, being darker-skinned and all, with that odd religion. Anyway, they're killing Joooooooos, which pleases the Lefties no end.
Lefties = f'ing bigots. >:-(

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
Gov. Blagojevich's lawyers will boycott the impeachment trial in the Senate later this month. Lead defense lawyer Ed Genson said the governor instructed him not to show up.
