Why Bush Is So Happy Lately

Doctors Mistake Bush's Brain For A Polyp

CAMP DAVID, MD (IWR News Satire) - Doctors on Saturday removed what they thought was small polyp during a routine colonoscopy, but to their surprise the "polyp" really turned out to be the frontal lobe of Bush's brain. "It's hard to tell which end of the president is up," said Mr. Bush's personal physician Dr. Fingers Schafer.  Bush, who was photographed later with Sugar Ray Leonard, seemed unconcerned that part of his brain was removed "I never think that much about anything anyway," said Bush with that patented dumb look on his face.

IWR Videos For 07/16/2007

Grace Chang - Jaja Jambo [Bio 1934]
Grace Chang or Ge Lan was a Hong Kong singer and movie star in the 1950s and early 60s.  From these video clips, you can see just how talented and beautiful she was during her heyday.  She's one hell of a singer.  I've never heard Chinese sound so melodic in the Western sense.  I hope Netflix gets a few of her movies.

Bill Moyers’ Roundtable On Impeachment Of Bush & Cheney
I saw this on Friday night and though it was a very well reasoned argument for impeaching Bush.  It's not about getting even with the republicans, but it is all about restoring integrity to our system of government.  Modern conservatism for years has bludgeoned government so eventually it install an imperial strong man Mussolini like presidency.  However, there is no place for a dictator or an imperial president, who thinks he is above the law.  It's time to pull in Bush and Cheney's chain!

Art Links For 07/16/2007

Moira Hahn
I blogged Moira's work a few years back.  I liked her work then, but I think her work has even gotten better since.  I love how she infuses cats and parrots into classic Japanese and Chinese imagery.  She has a great imagination and sense of humor too.

Anne-François-Louis Janmot (1814-1892)
This French painter was admired by the great symbolist painter Odilon Redon. The painting below is my favorite work of his.  I especially love the color of the setting sun.

Ruth St. Denis

Ruth St. Denis [Bio 1879-1968]
Ruth St. Denis was a major pioneer of modern dance, who was influenced by Egyptian, Indian/Hindu and Japanese dancing styles.  Early "American audiences were hostile to her experiments, labeling her the 'Jersey Hindoo' and comparing her with the belly dancers at the local burlesque houses."  However, when she toured Europe in from 1906-09, her dances became a great success worldwide. She was also influenced by Eastern mysticism and even started her own Church of the Divine Dance in Hollywood in 1947.  If you click the links below, you can see some sets of her exotic dances.  There are over 600 images of Ruth St. Denis in the NYPL Digital Library.  I think her life story would make for a very interesting movie or documentary.  BTW, here's an interesting and mildly revealing photo of Ruth dancing on the beach without her dark hair wig, and also a color tinted print from 1915.
