• Commented on Epic Christian painting of historical figures and "lefty" archetypes
  Man, I wish it had more billowing flames in the background, and maybe clouds opening up and sun shining down on J-man, there... maybe some lions and lambs. Then we'd have a WATCHTOWER cover for sure!...

• Commented on US Health Care debate: scary Republican infographic countered by dreamy sherbet-hued Democrat infographic
  I love what it says about design's influence on emotions more than what information it actually contains or purports to transmit. The angry fonts of the Republican image! The unaesthetic size choices! The grey background that you shall surely sink...

• Commented on Dancing manias
  Be ready for all kinds of stuff like a new St. Vitus' dance, UFO sightings, and all that fun shit come 12/21/2012. Societies, especially sick societies, need to sweat and hallucinate in order to ride out the toxins. Whether it's...
