Here's a couple more of the reworked postcards I wrote about in the last post. I've completed revisions on six of them, and more are in progress. As mentioned in my last post, I'll probably end up reworking about a dozen of the original 35 cards I made in 1988.

The reworked postcard at the top of this post is my favorite one so far. I used a scan of a piece of wallpaper for the background, and I really like what it adds to the piece. The floral print seems to give the piece a homey feel, and I like how that contrasts with the grainy, black and white of the foreground text and image. The text and image in this piece came from a 1950's era textbook, and leaving it black and white retains a little of the clinical feeling those types of books have.

Here's the photocopy of the original postcard I started with.


Here's another of the remade cards.


This one's not my favorite. I don't dislike it, but it doesn't seem to have the same spark that the others I've finished have. I think it's the background. I wanted it colored, as leaving it white seemed to stark. I didn't want a busy background, however, so I went with gray. The gray is bothering me, so I may end up revising this one further.

Got this from Barack this morning - he seems genuinely hurt, like all those steel workers still waiting for jobs he did not get them back when Obama was Gamaliel Trained/ Radical community organizer! The stealth process.

Here's Barack's note to me as an Old Time DNC member.


Patrick --

Why would the Republicans spend a whole night of their convention attacking ordinary people?

With the nation watching, the Republicans mocked, dismissed, and actually laughed out loud at Americans who engage in community service and organizing.

Our convention was different. We gave the stage to everyday Americans who hunger for change and stepped up to make phone calls, knock on doors, and raise money in small amounts in their communities.

You may have missed it, but we also showed the country a video with the faces and voices of those organizers, volunteers, and donors from every corner of the country.

Watch the video and make a donation of $5 or more now to show that in this election, ordinary people will make their voices heard.

What you didn't hear from the Republicans at their convention is a single new idea about how to make the healthcare system work, get our economy moving for the middle class, or improve education.

Just attacks -- on me, and on you.

But what the McCain attack squad doesn't understand is that people like you -- who devote part of their busy lives to organizing and building their communities -- have the power to change this country.

With your help, that's exactly what we're going to do.

Thank you,

Barack

Bararck,


No person ever good newsed me by leading off with 'Patrick!' It was usuallly prelude to an ass-kicking. Me and the neighbors are cool with McCain.

1. School Choice

2. Lower Taxes

3. Energy Independence

4. Combats Islamist Terror

5. Does not hang around with fruitcakes ( Ayers, Rezko, Wright, Pfleger & etc)

6. No Abortion

7. No Corruption

and have you given a real long look at your VP? I mean Sarah Palin or Pope Joe? really.

You'll be Ok. McCain will not really tune-you-up! It is metaphorical.

Milky, Tubby, and Butch are guilty, guilty, guilty!!!!

Chris 'Milky' Matthews - The White Noise! He shouts over the answers of every person that Milky chooses to try and embarrass - Milky always fails. Like Rep. Adam Putnam of Florida who along with a McCain Aide, were subjected to The White Noise's incessant screaming prior to Sarah Palin's ground swelling speech on Thursday.

'Who, Who? Who made these smears against Palin? Who?' - Milky must poop through feathers!

Keith Olbermann, MSNBC Orson Welles in idiotic men's wear and his Sorcerer's Apprentice Rachel 'Butch' Maddow are non-stop obnoxious. Butch offered that a Palin Countdown to Termination would be expected:

This has been greeted with such shock — and with every salacious detail about stuff that wasn’t vetted coming to the floor seemingly with each hour of the news cycle — it is becoming less likely by the hour that Palin will still be John McCain’s nominee even by the end of the week.

and Milky and Butch that Palin is Anti-Semitic:

MATTHEWS: Is it true that she believes that God supports the war in Iraq? How does she know?

MADDOW: Was she sitting in the pew in her church in Wasilla two weeks ago when a speaker said that the Israelis deserve terrorist attacks, because Jews are unbelievers in Christ?

MADDOW: That was in the Politico today. Jews for Jesus founder speaking at her church while she was there two weeks ago making incredibly, incredibly out of line comments about Israel and Jewish people. These are tough questions she'll have to answer.

MATTHEWS: Pro or con?

MADDOW: Saying that's why Israel was subject to terrorist attacks. It was God's judgment for not believing in Christ.

MATTHEWS: What's the source?

MADDOW: Politico.com

All the while Milky was whining to every Dream Team Panelist - getting paid by the way from NBC, Lard Ass Olbermann interrupted while thumbing through the latest reports of Savanah Something - 'PALIN went to Six! Count 'em Six colleges! We'll have more on this late breaking wind as it develops!'

Air Biscuit again, Lard Ass!

As Tubby would manage to screw-up 'The Fault, dear Brutes Us, Lies not in OUR Stars (MSNBC) but in Dan Abrams!!! Yeah he did it! Fire Him!!!! I'm Keith Olbermann!!!!
Good Luck!!!!'


It is you, you morons! You are the guilty parties in this political smear and everyone knows it! You - NBC, MSNBC and the Tools that Stooge There - are guilty!

Not only that, you morons, you tossed your lawyer's Kid! Butch is taking Dan's Show!

You clowns! I hope none of these rats get off of the sinking NBC -Ship of Fools!

Peggy Noonan, former speechwriter for President Ronald Reagan, summed it all up quite nicely: "It's over." She was referring to the nomination of Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin as Vice-President on the Republican ticket. There are those that try to spin it by claiming it is "taken-out-of-context," such as our friend Mike.
I agree with Peggy Noonan’s taken-out-of-context statement of ‘It’s over’; but not the way the Left would like.
Of course Peggy Noonan is trying to explain it away with a classic "wash, rinse and spin dry" approach. I said it but. . .
Well, I just got mugged by the nature of modern media, and I wish it weren't my fault, but it is. Readers deserve an explanation, so I'm putting a new top on today's column and, with the forbearance of the Journal, here it is.
And Noonan made it worse.
And when I said, "It's over!" -- and I said it more than once -- that is what I was referring to. I am pretty certain that is exactly what Todd and Murphy understood I was referring to. In the truncated version of the conversation, on the Web, it appears I am saying the McCain campaign is over. I did not say it, and do not think it. In fact, at an on-the-record press symposium on the campaign on Monday, when all of those on the panel were pressed to predict who would win, I said that I didn't know, but that we just might find "This IS a country for old men." That is, McCain may well win. I do not think the campaign is over, I do not think this is settled, and did not suggest, back to the Todd-Murphy conversation, that "It's over."
But nothing.

Peggy Noonan is another victim of the "live mic." The Reverend Jesse Jackson Sr. was a victim of the live mic and got his political balls cut off. So much so that he is now "persona non grata" in the Barack Obama inner circle.

As far as Governor Sarah Palin's speech, she did a good job of appealing to the base. Her entire speech opposes everything that the maverick Senator from Arizona, John McCain, stands for. The Republicans never were comfortable with Senator John McCain, who counts among his friends as the former Democratic Senator Joseph Lieberman. I guess these turncoats hang together. They have no viewpoint. They have no political home. They have no political base. And now McCain is trying to make it all right by picking a bona fide conservative.

It seems to me that the wrong person is at the top of this ticket.

It matters little who is at the top of the Republican ticket, because Barack Obama will be elected the 44th President of the United States. America has grown weary of these Republicans.

In Sixty days I will vote for John McCain and Sarah Palin. I have known and met Barack Obama over the last fifteen years. For fourteen of them Barack Obama was an up-and coming local Democratic politician of whom everyone said 'He's going places!'

He's there. Barack Obama and the people he chose over the last two years to build him up, primarily Dave Axelrod, have crafted a narrative built upon the familiar rhetoric of Progressive Democratic Doctrine and Obama has never drifted from that narrative. It worked and he is the Democratic nominee for President and significantly the first black American to be the Democratic nominee. That's it.

I watched as Obama distanced himself from the very people who helped bring him onto the gradus ( the political steps) and to Illinois prominence and embrace the people who wrote his resume - Community Organizer, State Senator and Prophet of Hope and Change. He had other friends of very dubious agenda and intentions ( Ayers, Wright, Rezko & etc. in politics one does meet snakes along with bunny rabbits; a good politician steps over the snakes). Had Obama ascended the political gradus, but that would have taken too long, he might have become the Governor of Illinois. Instead, he chose the Senate. That gave him national cache - kind of like using a Mastercard Gold Card, instead of paying with cash you've earned.

In contrast, John McCain did the work of his country. When I decided McCain was for me he was a pariah, because of his heroic decision to fight with Ted Kennedy fro Immigration Reform - Juan McNasty, Wet-back Juan. Rock-ribbed GOP stalwarts dismissed the Warrior as 'Toast'- 'Stick a Fork in McCain; He's Done!' Immigration Reform was soundly defeated. McCain soldiered on.

Last night, John McCain called America. He called on Americans to fight corruption in government; to right our Economy through tax-cuts and using American genius to free this country from foreign energy dependence; face down Islamic Terrorists and the Kleptocracy of Vlad Putin; to fight the hideous curse of Abortion, to fight for the civil rights issue of this century - School Choice.

Obama wants issues - says he does, but sings lyrics to the Rock Opera of Progressivism. I have not heard one thing that Obama offers to right the economy other than raise taxes. Obama says 'only the rich.' Well, things have a way of getting back to us - like the flimsy rhetoric of Mastercard Gold. Everybody pays. Progressive Doctrine demands that others pay and pay and pay - Demand Programs! Programs are funded by the taxes of carpenters, millwrights, electricians, teachers, cops and nurses. Programs mean that a bureaucracy is born and feeds at the trough of more taxes.

McCain acts. American are doers, inventors, builders, care-givers, fighters and custodians of the weak, the disabled, and should be - of the unborn.

Sixty Days. You have had my vote Senator and those of my son and daughter. That's three and that is a good start in Precinct 23 of 19th Ward in Chicago.

Celebrate! It's Friday. I don't care if this one has been a little overused. It's an old school fave and the right tune for the moment.

Want more Kool? Enjoy the kaleidoscopic visuals style of this one and get down.

Hat Tip to my Pal Steve Rhodes at Beachwood Reporter! Thanks Steve! Have a Falstaff Son!

I did not get around to peeking at 'The Progressive Independent Voice of Chicago' this morning, as I was busy doing what most Americans do - taking care of kids, getting to work and actulaly doing something when I get there! Never on Queen's Time!

So, I turned to the Beachwood Reporter to get an update on Chicago Media Moon-Howlers!

Never disappointed - Heeyah 'Tis - The Sun Times (STNG) in all of its suicidal glory (excerpt of course)!
. . .Because his pick for vice president, Sarah Palin, is woefully unprepared to be Leader of the Free World.

Does this sound harsh? We know it does, though we mean no disrespect. Our sincere hope is that McCain, a good and brave American, lives a long and healthy life. But when the senator chose Alaska Gov. Palin to be his running mate, and in doing so deemed her fit to stand a heartbeat from the presidency, he either demonstrated phenomenally bad judgment or put politics ahead of country.

Palin has almost no experience on the national or international stage. She has virtually no qualifications to be commander in chief. She is the former mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, a town about the size of a couple of Chicago high schools. She has been governor for 20 months of a wilderness state with a population of 684,000 -- about the number of folks in Will County.

And the more Palin's GOP defenders contort themselves to defend her credentials, attempting to inflate the uninflatable, the more obviously thin her resume looks.

Asked by a CNN reporter what qualifies Palin to be commander in chief of America's armed forces, a McCain aide pointed out that, as governor, Palin "commanded" the Alaska National Guard. The reporter then asked, to no avail, for a single instance in which Palin had involved herself in the business of the Guard.

A commentator for the conservative National Review generously granted Palin "foreign policy" experience solely on the basis of geography -- Alaska is next to Russia and borders Canada. If the commentator knew of any Palin-Putin talks, he failed to mention them.

Jimmy the Two-Headed Boy, or most De LaSalle Graduates could understand Palin's speech last night. Not Chicago's 'Progressive Independent Voice' - they are waiting for John McCain to explain it to them - Senator, Read Slowly!!!!!!!!! Use Pictures!

Browkaw, Matthews, Maddow, Olbermann, and Gregory! The MSNBC Tool Shed Side-Show had their britches yanked; got caught fibbing; been confronted with their folly and yet demand that they be taken with a scintilla of seriousness in the light oftheir having been:

1. Long in the Tank for Obama

2. Slanted any and all coverage against McCain and for Obama

3. Engaged in the ugliest and most unbecoming smear assaults on Governor Sarah Palin and her family

4. Out Shout any answer to a question for which they demand 'their answer to their questions'

5. Insult the viewer.

Clowns who want to be treated like Barrymores.

Take a look at this from Newsbusters:

8:18pm]

MATTHEWS: Let's be clear about this, tremendous support from the Washington media. John McCain is an immensely popular figure among the Washington media. He used to say that the press was his base. I mean I’m sure we have that on tape, many places. Because he did enjoy, when he went out with the Straight Talk Express on his wonderful bus trips, I was on, among that happy band on occasion. There was tremendous camaraderie. What he deals with now is the reality that in, it doesn't have to do with party politics or ideology.

But there is always a love of the new. There's always an appeal of the new. Let's face it. The governor of Alaska will benefit from some of that. Barack Obama's benefitted from that. The new kid on the block, whether it's Bill Clinton or it's, or it's Ronald Reagan, in a sense, back in '80. The new kid gets the appeal. The news business, I think, does like the new. It may like the young as well, although not always. Because I thought Ronald Regan got a fabulous press! And Pat Buchanan would even admit it, I think, under sodium pentothal. But the fact is that this-

BUCHANAN: You think the media is in love with Sarah Palin?!

MATTHEWS: I think the media is in love with the story Pat, because it’s a fascinating story. And I’ll tell ya this, if she gets up there tonight and gives a whale of a speech, you’re gonna hear it like Sardie’s after a big Broadway smash.

BUCHANAN: Right.

MATTHEWS: All tonight people will say how great she did. You can predict it.

BUCHANAN: Alright.

MATTHEWS: Nobody's going to deny her a successful night, if that's the case.

BUCHANAN: Alright well let me ask you. Will you, will you say it sent a tingle up your leg?

MATTHEWS: Pat I have always, a multifaceted reporter, and I do report fully on my experiences in the hall. And when you get a new line let me know, will ya buddy? It’s a little tired by now, but it's a good one.

David, we're, but let me go to David who's on the floor right now to get, to see if he has a full report. David is this the buzz right now? The incipient war between the almost, the old Goldwater establishment in terms of its attitude towards the Eastern media? As Tom Brokaw pointed out. This is an on, an old, old conflict and it may be a useful one to the Republican Party.

America - kick these clowns to the curb!

An article was published on 8/28 detailing planned state park (and historic site) closings due to Gov. Blagojevich's budget cuts. Click here to read the full text of the article.

The historic sites on the list will close Oct. 1, while parks will close Nov. 1. The cycling locations most affected will be the Hennepin Canal Trail (losing all maintenance workers) and the I&M Canal State Trail (losing maintenance along 2/3 of the trail).

Illinois State Parks on the list include Castle Rock State Park, Oregon; Lowden State Park, Oregon; Hennepin Canal Parkway State Park, Sheffield; and several others. Illinois state historic sites that will be shuttered include Dana-Thomas House, Springfield; Lincoln Log Cabin, Lerna; Bishop Hill, Henry County; and several others.

If you want to speak out on this, contact the Governor's office.

A Dutch door is rarely seen in Chicago anymore. There were still many homes that had them in rural Kankakee County where I was a baby teacher.

I liked them. They were welcoming, but also set a condition - belong here. They were at once a means of keeping out dangers to the home, and all the while a portal for bringing light and fresh air into the home.

Last night, while watching Sarah Palin make her acceptance speech at the RNC in St. Paul, I was reminded of the Dutch doors. Sarah Palin invited America to meet her family and strongly set the conditions of just who the Palin's are, where they come from and how they expect all of us to behave when with them. Sarah Palin explained her path onto the national stage. Palin presented the motives and methods that mark her career outside of her home. Governor Palin detailed the struggles in her State to make the best return on each voter's expectations for government and the means by which she was able to return those dividends on honest government to that voter.

More importantly, Gov. Sarah Palin set the rules for political engagement which allows her opponents to clearly understand that, when a Chicago politician brings a handgun to a political knife-fight, he can expect to be met with a round from a howitzer long before he pulls the trigger.

The Top half of the Dutch Door is open and the bottom half barred those who would do her family harm, or sully their lives for political gain. Last night, Sarah Palin made a powerful decision. God help the poor creature invited through the open door who violates that trust - man, beast or agenda.

Sarah Palin threw the bolt down from the top half of the Dutch door and tossed the full portal open and invited every American into her home. The fresh air and the warmth of the fire is welcome. You have been invited - behave accordingly.

The Democratic Party, my father often told me, represented the people. My father was an immigrant and was born in Italy and he was determined to come to America to find a "better life" for himself, but especially for his family. And indeed he found a "better life."

The Republicans, on the other hand, he would point out only cared about money, wealth, property and things and how they can protect their money, wealth, property and things.

I'll be damned that the Republican Party proved my father's thesis on Wednesday evening by showing the true colors of the party (and lack of color among delegates representing the party). This Republican Party continually mocked and belittled ordinary, working people. These acts I found to be outrageous.

Led by former New York Mayor Rudloph W. Giuliani and unsuccessful candidate for the Republican nomination for President, Giuliani mocked and belittled ordinary people in their ordinary everyday struggles when he commented about Obama's choice to serve people as a community organizer. He argued this:
“Barack Obama has never governed a city, never governed a state, never governed an agency, never run a military unit, never run anything,”
As the New York Times pointed out, this had a familiar ring when he said essentially the same thing about his friend, John McCain.
If his formulation sounded a little familiar, it is because it was one of the few criticisms that Mr. Giuliani aimed at Mr. McCain during the heat of their primary fight, saying that he had “never run a city, never run a state, never run a government.”
Obviously, Rudy's message didn't resonate with the voters since he was roundly defeated by John McCain and would have been roundly defeated by Barack Obama. The American people are tired of this toxic politics, this slash-and-burn style of politics of which Giuliani is the leader.

As Joe Biden said about Rudy.
Biden issued perhaps the most memorable put-down of Giuliani's presidential candidacy. In a televised debate last October, Biden remarked: "I mean, think about it! Rudy Giuliani. There's only three things he mentions in a sentence -- a noun, a verb, and 9/11. There's nothing else! There's nothing else! And I mean this sincerely. He's genuinely not qualified to be president."
May his political obituary rest in peace. Reading on Walden Bookstore.Reading On Walden Bookstore, on the cutting edge of online bookselling

Property in Chicago, IL

A small but growing number of pedal-powered messengers in New York City are outfitting their bicycles with boxes and flatbeds on which they can load hundreds of pounds of cargo. I've seen the same thing here. For a few years, I've seen an increasing number of restaurants in and near downtown doing food deliveries by bike. Now I'm seeing regular bike messenger services offering bike cargo deliveries. Bring it on! This makes WAY more sense than using cars or vans in congested areas.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buck Laughlin: Now tell me, which one of these dogs would you want to have as your wide receiver on your football team?


I just caught Milky Matthews doing his faux tough-guy/genuine nut-ball shout over of a U.S. Congressman and a Senior McCain Advisor concerning Alaska Governor Sarah Palin's much anticipated speech at the Republican National Convention.

Like a Ritz Brothers movie on TCM it is hard to reproduce, but catch Milky on You Tube. I was reminded of the great Fred Willard in Best of Show - Dog Show Play-by-Play Man Buck Laughlin:

McCain Aid: Gov. Palin . . .

MILKY: How about it you two Is there a Woman out there - She is Gender Specific now that must be her ONLY reason for being on the ticket How about it?

Congressman: No, I

MILKY: You Gotta be kidding! You are Kidding me! She's a Beauty Contest Winner!

McCain Aid: Chris . . .

MILKY: Don't Interrupt . . .This is Hardball . . . I ask the questions here. Now Scranton where I'm from and was an altar boy who can still recite the Sucipiate Can Either of You? I'm a Speechwriter! Where's my copy of Palin's Speech. Why did I not get a call from her? Did you Congressman? No! I thought not! .........

Then it went surreal from there. Milky tried to do a Nuremberg on the two.

MSNBC is a joke. A sad, sad joke. Matthews needs straight jacket. Olbermann needs an enema. MSNBC should have its plug pulled.

Milky - Who's Piling On? Who Name Names!

MSNBC Milky that would be you and Olberbore and Butchie Maddow.

Joe Lieberman gave a great pitch to my fellow Democrats. Vote Country - Vote McCain/Palin!

Here is what we can expect from the other side:

Lieberman needs to brush up on his colleagues' voting records before he makes such claims. As Patrick Barry points out:

Obama? Cutting off funding for the troops? I wonder if Lieberman is thinking about H.R. 1591, an emergency bill that would have approved $1 billion for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Actually that can't be it because John McCain decided not to support the troops by voting against that bill. Barack Obama on the other hand, supported the legislation. Or maybe Lieberman is referring to the 2nd version of the bill, the one approved by the Senate 51-46? Well that can't be it either, since John McCain didn't show for that vote. Barack Obama did though, and again, he voted for it.

I caught a snatch of Rachel 'Butch' Maddow on the radio coming into work this morning. As the only voice on MSNBC giving off any trace of testosterone, Maddow works up the volume and speed in wall-papering over any pretensions of dialog on MSNBC.

Now, it seems that her sole task is to bring down Sarah Palin.

Butch, you're in over your head - out of your element. Palin is not some back-slding guest of Ellen Degeneres or one of the geldings with whom you work! Palin hunts Griz! Hunts Oil Companies! Takes down, dresses and mounts the heads of Republican and Democratic pocket stuffers.

Cheerleading for Kid Hope is one thing, but Sarah Palin will eat your liver. Which might be a fine learning experience for you.
