My cousin t.c moore is an Artist and instructor out of Petaluma, California. She’s just launched a website showcasing her work.
… Using an array of natural materials, particularly nature’s detritus – horse hair, hoof clippings, wood shavings, teeth, egg shells, feathers, spider webs – I create work which celebrates the organic unity of all living things. My work is inspired by the Biophilia hypothesis, a term coined by E.O. Wilson which states that humans as a species have a universal love for the natural world. I feel we suffer from “nature deficit disorder” and one goal for my work is to translate my feelings of wonder and awe of the materials, cycles and processes of nature. …

I’m thinking Rick Perry could beat Obama in the next election, despite his looks … He looks like a made-for-TV-movie American President. Phoney.
Perry spent his first six years in politics as a Democrat, in a somewhat forgotten history that is sure to be revived and scrutinized by Republican opponents if he decides to run for president. …
When I checked on that damning history on Wikipedia, I found that it was not included. Some Republican editing, I assume.
Next problem for Rick Perry – I’m not sure the Tea Party crowd is going to approve of his Corndog eating lifestyle.
Campaigning outside Pittsburgh today, GOP frontrunner Rick Perry attended a picnic at St Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Oil City where he enjoyed a foot long corndog while touring the fabulous reproduction of Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel.
There’s an old truism that politicians should never eat hotdogs. These photos will show you why.

I’m not much of a Gervais fan, but when Kate played the first 3 episodes of this TV series, I found them HILARIOUS.
Extras is a British sitcom about extras working on TV and film sets and in theatre. The series was co-produced by the BBC and HBO, and is created, written, and directed by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, both of whom also star in it. …
Each episode has at least one guest star; a television or film celebrity, who play what Gervais and Merchant have referred to as “twisted” versions of themselves; an exaggerated or inverted parody of their famous public personas. …
Kate Winslet
Ben Stiller
Ross Kemp/Vinnie Jones
Samuel L. Jackson
Les Dennis
Patrick Stewart

Kate and her daughter Zoe are taking in a chick flik this afternoon. Then the family is doing a beach barbecue picnic to celebrate her 29th birthday.
It’s partly a wedding anniversary celebration, too. She married some old, forgetful guy named Stanley about this time of year, decades ago.
Although Verizon paid less in income taxes than its average customer paid in phone bills, the company broke no laws. America’s corporations spend hundreds of millions of dollars a year on lobbying, and they get a good return on their investments. They get tax loopholes — and plenty of them. Last year, Verizon shelled out $16.8 million to lobby federal lawmakers and another $18.7 million on contributions into the campaign accounts of their favorite federal politicians.
Obviously Verizon needs to charge customers MORE … so they can pay some corporate tax.

I know that the USA cannot tax itself to fiscal balance. But it’s stupid to perpetuate a system where “25 out of the country’s 100 highest-paid chief executives actually earned more in 2010 than their companies paid out in corporate income taxes”.
Corporations and rich individuals should actually pay more tax.
