Rumour has it that the war on Christmas has really heated up this year, so I offer to you a more robust (and perhaps just ever so slightly gay) nativity scene as the best defence. (images courtesy of RM Vaughan).
As for those of us in the Canadian Corner, beware of all those creeps bearing gifts. (election time!).
I'm paying attention to the campaigns so that you don't have to, freeing up more time for everyone to visit the Sex Clubs that are popping up everywhere (usually next door to Starbucks) now that the Supreme Court has declared them legal.
(t'was the ruling we were all waiting for, before we went totally crazy this Christmas season. ...stinky couches and carpets aside, the Supreme Court has established that the test for criminal indecency will be based on whether it causes harm, not whether it offends someone's taste)
word of the day: telepistemological

Julian Stallabrass is an interesting English Marxist art critic.
"...One of the drawbacks to the sorts of analysis I do tends to be that all the complexities, personal motivations and particular histories and so on of the single person's work may get flattened by that analysis. That's right, but there are certain things you can only see by looking at them in that way. The art world's pretty good at producing monographic studies. There are lots and lots of them out there. More than anything else, and usually tied to promotional purposes. I guess my instincts intellectually are to look at the characteristics of a particular field and try to work against those. It's extremely frustrating actually -- and students feel this and I do too -- that it's so hard to find larger synthetic accounts. They may well have their faults and you may well want to pull them apart and disagree with them but if they didn't exist you wouldn't be able to do that, and the fact of their paucity is an ideological matter."
