Witnesses sometimes lie. But cameras don’t. The police killed an entirely innocent man. I do hope this will have consequences in terms of how they deal with protests in the future.

I believe I’ve found the focus of this blog, as much as it has one. I want it to sit at the intersection of arts, politics, and life.

I was wishing I had more space to work with the new-old sewing machine at home. I’ve got it. I can take a lot of what is in my studio and use it to “decorate” my space there, thus making more space. I can teach there. I can work there in ways that are chancy here at home. I can collaborate and help other members. But the very best of all is:
I have a reason to do what I do

There’s a definition of insanity I’ve been giving some thought to lately: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. That’s what job hunting has been like for a while now, and it’s high time I did something other than what I’m doing now if I’m to expect different results.

Since I’m in the UK, I didn’t get to watch the press conference. However, the full transcript is available, so I’m reading it. It may take more than one post for my entire response.

A blog suggesting that Obama had received an AIG bonus:

The author knows that is a damned LIE because he references the source:
http://www.examiner.com/x-268-Right-Side-Politics-Examiner~y2009m3d17-Obama-Received-a-101332-Bonus-from-AIG
And what the source actually says is that Obama received a campaign contribution from AIG.

Shall we give Obama the credit for the stock market rising? Did anyone notice that it happened just after he tackled healthcare? Could that be significant?

which actually quotes the chief medical officer of Aetna insurance, speaking at an investor’s conference as saying:
The U.S. “healthcare system is not timely.”
Recent statistics from the Institution of Healthcare Improvement document “that people are waiting an average of about 70 days to see a provider.”
“In many circumstances people initially diagnosed with cancer are waiting over a month, which is intolerable.”
In his former stint as an administrator and head of a physicians’ organization he spent much of his time trying “to find appointments for people with doctors.”
