Dave Chappelle

From the Man who brought you Black Bush and Black Tony blair (Jaime Foxx), Dave Chappelle. He's funny.

Found on Devil Ducky.

He's Rick James, Bitch!

Bush Inappropriately touching Chancellor Merkel

Okay, it's one thing to give a friend a hello hug, or grip, or embrace of some kind, but world leaders don't usually give each other shoulder massages. It's just creepy and wrong if the other world leader is female. Actually it's creepy and weird if it's a male world leader too.

This is realy, really embarrassing.

I think these are frame grabs from Russian TV. I got them from taylormarsh.com











I know, I know, "inappropriately touching" is kind of a PC term, but in this case it fits. Unfortunately. What a fuckin' doofus.

Here's The Daily Show's take on this debacle.

Francis' B-Day in Providence

Last week, okay two weeks ago, was my best friend Francis' birthday. He lives in FLA nad most of his friends live here in the Northeast. Wonderful man that he is he decided to come up here.


Drake made this cake. The candles were lit and everyone was singing "Happy Birthday" when she walked under the ceiling fan and it blew out all the candles.

I've never really spent much time in Providence, but I got the chance to walk around a bit and I like it.



It definitely has a Burlington feel to it, it's kind of small, but is has a vibrancy to it and a funkiness to it that I like.




Drake, our hostess, is the Director for The Steelyard and is totally hooked into the arts community. At Francis' party, we got to meet a lot of those folks, so it was neat. Very creative and interesting people. David Cole wants to make a mobile with pickup trucks, other people are sculptors, painters, graphic artists, a good mix.

After almost a dozen years in Florida, Frank (I'm one of only about eight people allowed to call him Frank, and there were four of us there, with that priviledge, that weekend) is creating a move to Providence. Thank God. Florida was sucking the life out of him and he didn't really have many friends down there.

Looking forward to having him closer.

Here are some photos from the trip.

I'm starting a new series of Highway Photos.
