On friday this past weekend I had a chance to view the 1925 silent version of Phantom of the Opera on the lawn of the newly built park in downtown Houston named Discovery Green hosted by a local radio station. The old picture show was beautiful glimpse of Paris with a disasterously tragic ending. A breakout cinema of different sorts to turn War and Peace on its head, the Russian art group Voina unveiled a laser green skull and cross bones on the Russian Parliament in Moscow. A literal and figurative coup d'etat at the same time?

Election Returns Part II
We are sure to see fresh faces again such as Sarah Palin's in People. Palin was a great newcomer and mobilizer to call-up the Republican Party, but she was unveiled to the public much too late in the election cycle. We all could care less for Democratic National Committee (DNC) President Howard Dean's mug shot or his remarks earlier today. What a dog! At a televised press conference, Howard Dean acknowledged that the DNC used data tracking the types of purchases made on credit cards to lure in Democrats. {{{tightly clutching purse}}}

Please help them and forward that email to as many people as you can!
Election Returns
With my head hung, I am not very thrilled about the election returns. I had very high hopes for John McCain and Sarah Palin unfortunately a long winded and over-bloated two year campaign overtook the right candidate. Yesterday, I saw a voting precinct held at a church and a marquee board for Louis Vuitton bags at Wright's Pawn Shop. If thine own eyes did not already foresee it, Hell could not have come any sooner. It used to be in a hand basket.
Election 2008 Recap
On the eve of Election Day 2008, no more AP for me: Worldnetdaily has the latest press from Libertarian candidate Bob Barr. A strong defendender of the Constitution, former federal prosecutor and Congressional Representative Barr would negotiate with Mullahs over Osama Bin Laden, chose a new Supreme Court Justice in the mold of Anthony Kennedy, and put an end to Wicca practices in the military. The Green Party is touting former Georgia Congressional Representative Cynthia McKinney on its ticket. Instead of her work to criticize the 9/11 Commission and to pass a law ordering the declassification of CIA files on the rapper 2Pac, the last major headline on McKinney was her physical skirmish with the Capitol Police in 2006.
Eric B for President
In addition to getting a tune for Amy Winehouse's F-me Pumps from her debut album Frank, I have recently developed a similar penchant for Burger King save the brown paper bag. Burger King packages its French Fries in a Frypod which is a bemusing array of word play on the Mp3 player made by Apple Inc. Curious to find out why the Frypod is named after the iPod, I ran into a video on the disappearance of the Whopper. Switched with a Wendy's burger, angry patrons on hidden camera complain about the disappearance of the marquee on the menu. . .
Hell Pizza
"Jesus answered, 'It is written: ‘Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God''"
Matthew 4:4
The Hell Pizza Chain based in New Zealand released a adverstisement on its website earlier this morning, but then suppressed the ad featuring animated caricatures of the corpses of Sir Edmund Hillary, Actor Heath Ledger, and the Queen Mum. The ghouls danced to the tune of Michael Jackson's Thriller. Grotesque and disgusting, the animated spot was immediately supressed and booted off of the internet. These shocking stunts are not the first for the gormet pizza chain that features pies named by the seven deadly sins. During Hell Pizza's 2006 ad campaign for its Lust Premium Pizza, loyal patrons of the restauranteur received condoms in the mail complete with an step by step instruction booklet. Earlier this year, twenty-four year-old Walter Scott of New Zealand attempted to auction his soul to Hell Pizza. The bidding stopped when it was discovered that there were a number of phony bids for the Deed of Ownership to Walter Scott. New Zealanders were also treated to a lampoon of Nazi Germany propaganda with a billboard of an Adolf Hitler pizza salute to the sky in 2007.
