Imagine It

Just strolling through the National Gallery of Art tonight - I love old American photography, as in this interior from Doylestown, PA circa 1917: The Stove.

Here's a look down Vanderbilt from East 46th circa 1935. Been there, done that this year. While not American, here's a soulful face of London circa 1936, almost looks as if they knew what was coming in the years directly ahead.

Then there's some still water courtesy of the Wissahickon Creek outside Philadelphia in 1865. Given the year, one might wonder what was on that fellow's mind - squint, he's sitting there where the water meets the rocks.

In 1919, Stieglitz memorializes Georgia O'Keeffe's hands - haunting somehow - with this profile being even more so. Care to see a German Welfare recipient from 1930 - now that we know what that poverty combined with evil, wrought?

Imagine sitting across from these two ladies on the subway just prior to World War II. Incredible Mother and girl - Chicago 1953. And such a sweet child of 1864.

Plenty to see here - take a tour.

Better Lucky Than Smart

Wouldn't you say? lol He walks away - in handcuffs.

Busted! LOL

Ian at the political teen has the complete video of NBC's Michelle Kosinski caught on camera paddling a canoe when two, um, water walkers just happen by. His version includes a political point and extended coverage of NJ flooding.

I edited it down to just the snarky bit below as it's a much smaller file.

Just the snarky bit

Kate Moss Cocaine Video

Cross a bad foreign film with Robin Leach strung out on smack hosting Lifestyles of the Rich and Deperately Lost in Italian and there you have it.

Apparently she's in rehab in Arizona now - I hope it works. Shame, really.

AWwwwwwwww

We all need those moments ... let it play until it repeats.

Are You Stuck?

On stupid?

If you haven't seen it - Hell, I have been stuck on stupid more than once, don't think I'd want it pointed out in public though. LOL I think this one is going to leave a mark.

Midnight Special

Steve Huff did an exceptional job on Geraldo tonight, displaying his knowledge of the facts as regards Joseph Duncan and his criminal mind. Ian has the video here.

Ian also has the video as regards the new duct tape evidence, which, unfortunately, sounds about as promising as a lead from TJ Ward, at this point. I shouldn't take out my frustrations on Ward, but its hard to believe in a PI who reminds you of an old Bill Shatner television series.

Also from Aruba we learned that a judge from Curacao denied a motion by the defense to keep information about the investigation from the FBI. They will appeal on Monday. The interrogation of Joran Van der Sloot was said to have gone into overtime last ngiht, lasting until 6PM, or so. If that's true, it's just another sign of an approach to this investigation which I find disgraceful. Overtime? For heaven's sake, they should be working on the young man 24/7, as far as I'm concerned.

Additionally, it was speculated that the Kalpoe brothers may be brought back in for questioning after the interrogation of Joran v d Sloot is completed. Perhaps they want to try and nail Van der Sloot down to a final version and attempt to get all three to start contradicting themselves, again. If they are still involved in this, and there is no reason to believe they aren't - I have no idea why they wouldn't have been kept in custody all along.

Yes, I realize the Dutch justice system doesn't allow for it - I'm just starting to care less and less about that as I continue to watch this nightmare.

Video of Koran Abuse Involving Urination

I am sick and tired of all this nonsense over alleged Koran abuse. I can't recall any leftwing outrage over the P*$$ Christ "art" a while back. So, here's a little bit of my own "art work."

Call it "Rusty Needs A Fatwa," "A Drunken Religious Nut Meets The Koran," or what ever you want. It's the combination of a video from Always Drunk and a Koran. And I'm calling it "art," so that makes it okay, right?

The sound is the best part - the guy must be loaded, but why the religious angle?? You can't make this stuff up. ; )

Newsweek To Release Leaked Saddam Video

Fresh on the heels of the Koran scandal, an anonymous source has provided me with a video showing Saddam Hussein being attacked while imprisoned at Camp Cropper. My source claims Newsweek is prepared to break this video in its next edition. The once classified video also depicts the deplorable prison conditions within Camp Cropper, now home to disposed tyrant Saddam Hussein. Among other things, the camp obviously suffers from significant rat infestation.

The video also seems to indicate that, far from being an innocent victim as regards recently published and potentially embarassing photos, Saddam Hussein was actually complicit in the circulation of those images and has willingly posed for photographs and videos on several occasions.

Near the end of the video here you can see that the facility is definitely rat infested. Another report on the conditions at Camp Cropper can be found via The Observer at link below.

Dancin' Dean

Reportedly, the Dems are worried about what Howard Dean might come up with tomorrow in his first Sunday talk appearance. I figured, why wait? With a  little AV editing magic, you can see him say just about every atrocious thing the Dems fear today.

And he's a helluva dancer, besides wanting to attack the military and raise prison-ready children after teaching them to hate American's, Christians and Jews. ; ) Check it out. Work safe with sound.
