Related: ...An unprecedented level of security will frame President Bush's second inauguration, with officials planning to use thousands of police from across the country, new screening technology for inaugural guests and a military contingent that could include a combat brigade of up to 4,000 troops...

...The power of street art, namely stencils, to shape public space, and the ways in which it does so, is the subject of Chicago artist Josh MacPhee's Stencil Pirates, a handsome publication that both documents and casts a critical eye upon a thriving art form...

Related: ..."This struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, and it may be both moral and physical, but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress." - Frederick Douglass, 1857 [FROM NO STOLEN ELECTIONS WEBSITE] (now on to the distraction of the Media and the populus from the election to the shaking up of the cabinent and the battle of the Fallujah, HELLO the election issue is not over)

..."Congress must investigate the integrity of the voting process in the 2004 election."... [SIGN PETITION]

11.11.04
... Oh, but that's ok because you go to church, right? I mean you do, right? Cause we fucking get to hear about it every goddamn year at election time. Yes, we're fascinated by how you get up every Sunday morning and sing, and then you're fucking towers of moral superiority. Yeah, that's a workable formula. Maybe us fucking Northerners don't talk about religion as much as you because we're not so busy sinning, hmmm? Ever think of that, you self-righteous assholes?... [more of this wonderful rant]

...In the show's most eye-catching painting, "Haliburton Love It or Leave It," a dark figure of Israel's Ariel Sharon drapes his arm possessively around the shoulders of a female figure wearing red, white and blue...

...(QUESTION) GB: Fidel Castro is famous for using phrases such as the "battle of ideas" and the "massification of culture". Can you define these and give me examples of what they mean? (ANSWER) AP: All over the world people's lives are based on consumption because of manipulation by the media. For this reason, it is so important for Cubans to care about the so-called "battle of ideas". This is why Castro elevates the importance of culture: "being cultured is the only way to be free", to quote Martí. In other words, culture allows people to think for themselves. We want the Cuban people to be open to all kinds of influences without losing their capacity to think for themselves, their critical independence, their liberty... (viva el revolution)

Related: ... The president is putting his own counsel, Alberto Gonzales, who wrote the famous memo defending torture, in charge of our civil liberties. Torture Guy, who blithely threw off 75 years of international law and set the stage for the grotesque abuses at Abu Ghraib and dubious detentions at Guantánamo, seems to have a good grasp of what's just. No doubt we'll soon learn what other protections, besides the Geneva Conventions and the Constitution, Mr. Gonzales finds "quaint'' and "obsolete.''...

Related: (from our e-mail) "Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind and when the drums have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded with patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader, and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar." -- William Shakespeare

...Does George W Bush Really Think We're THAT Stupid?... [BOOK]
Related: ...Keith Olbermann on MSNBC in which he did a story on election problems. He said that there were 90,000 more votes cast in Ohio than registered voters (he went through a list of counties and said how many voters were registered in each and how many extra thousands of votes were recorded)... [MSNBC VIDEO] [TRANSCRIPT] and ...Ohio, whose 20 electoral votes were based on a margin of 2 percent in the vote, has other problems tonight. The state reports 92,000 presidential votes did not count. Ranging from votes improperly cast to votes improperly counted. And in Cuyahoga County, that is greater Cleveland, the official records of 29 different voting precincts show more votes than registered voters to a total of 93,000 extra votes in that county alone. As an example, in Fairview Park, 12 miles west of Cleveland, 13,342 voters were registered. 18,472 votes were cast. None of this even addresses the story we told you about last week in the town of Gahanna outside Columbus, Ohio. There in a district with just 800 voters, a voting machine added 3,893 votes to Mr. BushŒs total... [ READ FULL MSNBC TRANSCRIPT]

Related: ...Tuesday, Laura Bush formally opened the stretch of the Avenue that runs in front of the White House, declaring that it was "marvelous" that pedestrians could once again use the famous and now redesigned block. My old friend Ben Forgey, the Washington Post's architecture and design critic, didn't see it that way. He thought that the plaza, with its guardhouses unfinished and still lacking 100 planned elm trees, "looked distinctly unmarvelous." In fact, the area struck him as "enormously barren and somehow sad."...

..."Washington: Symbol and City." The exhibition brochure says that the capital's great buildings, memorials and parks continue to "evoke the ideals of democracy in the 21st century." Mr. Hiatt called this a "lie," citing the Jersey barriers, fences and other anti-terrorist detritus that litter the city's dignified landscape. He argued that by inhibiting reasonable public access to major national landmarks, such disruptive tokens of homeland security are inimical to our nation's democratic principles...
