Ted Kennedy: Carpe Diem

[He's "resting comfortably" "talking" "joking"]MSNBC and Fox News wallpapered the etherland with any talking head they could dredge up who could offer their memories of Teddy. Trent Lott, Geradine Ferraro (on Fox). It was almost like he was dead already. It could've been the networks' Pope Death Watch. Rushed to the hospital with stroke-like symptoms... The second-longest serving senator... More influential than his brothers... [graphic, Boston talk radio dude Howie Carr's nas-ty Ted "Fatboy" website]Hillary issued a statement: "My thoughts and prayers..." Ted's health was left in the dust as the speculation turned to Obama and what will happen if Ted isn't around to campaign for his political protege? When Ted didn't cooperate and exit the planet, the cable vultures dumped him like Paris Hilton dumps boyfriends. Drudge, the doy...

The Mystery of the Missing Vultures
2008-05-16 05:31:00 As I have had daily business to transact in the city for the past few weeks, I have had the opportunity to observe the process of decomposition of the carcass a road-killed deer that appeared alongside the rural road I use to get from our home in the country to the heart of Portland and its surrounding sprawl. Black-tailed Deer, Odocoileus hemionus, are plentiful in northwest Oregon and as might be expected, are not uncommonly seen in a post mortem state near roads. As the city of Portland occupies most of the county of Multnomah, the few outlying rural roads within that county are not particularly well tended by the road crew charged with cleaning up (or at least moving off into the brush) the remains of insufficiently nimble ungulates. Thus the particular deer I have been passing daily has been allowed to undergo a natural process of, shall we say, carbon exchange.What has been most perplexing to me, however, is why at this point much of anything remains at all of the carcass. On ...

Wall Street Vultures Blind To History's Lessons
2008-01-15 01:03:00 50 Cents On The Dollar - The Empire State Building Story by Sudden Debt - snip:Vulture investors are putting together syndicates to purchase US real estate, crowing that they are getting it for fifty cents on the dollar, focusing particularly in "carrion-infested" states like Florida. And Bank of America is buying the whole of Countrywide Financial at a deep discount after its initial $2 billion investment went very sour, very quickly. A little history may serve as a warning to overzealous buzzards. The Empire State Building was completed in record time (one year!) in 1931, costing a total of $41 million ($25 million for the building plus $17 million for the land). Construction costs were half the original estimates because the Great Depression quickly and dramatically cut prices and wages. The owners were John Raskob and a group of wealthy investors from the du Pont, Kaufman and Earl families - hardly unwashed hoi polloi. I imagine they, too, thought they were getting a bargain at ...
Vultures (presidential and otherwise) descend on Pakistan?s chaos
2007-12-27 21:07:00 By now you know that Benazir Bhutto is dead and Pakistan is in turmoil. I can’t say anything that Euphrosyne didn’t already say beautifully, so I won’t belabor what is already known. I also recommend Stirling Newberry’s comments on what this means for America and our declining empire. Never one to pass up an opportunity to make himself look good using others’ deaths as the backdrop, Rudy Giuliani was quick to post a statement that the Terrorists ™ must be stopped from continuing their War On Us (caps are his, not mine). And he wasn’t the last. CNN has a complete list of Presidential candidates’ reactions to Bhutto’s assassination, and I’m given to understand that the chattering class is already whipping itself into orgasmic fervor speculating on which of them this will benefit the most. I agree with A.J. Rossmiller that claiming this will somehow benefit Hillary and Giuliani because they’re the most hawkish is ludi...

NB2 Apparel is hawking T-shirts and hoodies with the phrase, "I'm a [bleep]ing TV Reporter, Bitch!" with 20 percent of proceeds going to the Police Athletic League.

Scribes of Hate: Culture Vultures and the Terror War - on Martin Amis
2007-11-21 21:01:00 by Chris Floyd I'm sure that a great many Americans don't know who Martin Amis is. If they do, they are more likely to know him as the author of "The Rachel Papers," which was made into quirky teen-comes-of-age movie years ago, or perhaps as the son of Kingsley Amis, whose acerbic, slightly racy (for their day) novels were once mainstays on the British literary scene. But Martin himself has become something of a Brit mainstay in his middle age, routinely touted as one of the island's top writers and definitely one of the glitterati on the literary scene. He is also one of a number of writers on both sides of the Atlantic who were so traumatized by 9/11 that their political polarities were completely reversed. Once rakish, left-of-center, somewhat anti-Establishment types, they suddenly became ardent champions of Authority, cheering on the great Leaders who would keep them safe. (Amis even embedded himself with Blair for intimate portraits of the g...

BLOG AGAINST ABUSE: Skill Abuse: Spec-Work, Sabotage, and Vultures.
2007-09-27 15:49:00 In honor of Blog Catalog's invitation to Bloggers Against Abuse, I decided to blog about a subject that is of great importance to me and others who are a part of the graphic design industry.The internet is the best thing that ever happened to many skilled professionals' careers. It allows for a broader market in which to provide services. It allows for lower overhead costs. It's truly amazing. However, with all good things come the bad, this is the balance of life. For instance, Craigslist is a great way to look for or provide goods and services, employment opportunities, activities. But plenty of "lowlifes" populate the site as well, looking for completely free professional services or looking to pay as little as possible for them. The graphic design industry suffers the most from this, and both "Vultures" and some designers are to blame. Some designers are willing to provide hours and hours of work for as little as $50. Some aren't really designers (whether or not you...
