Caroline Coon's Newspage
My old friend Caroline Coon reports on her newspage above that clubbing supremo, Peter Stringfellow, is searching for vintage pictures of Osama Bin Laden hanging out at his club. It seems the idea is is to make the a film available to would-be jihadists who might be considering such venues as terrorist targets. Exposing the hypocrisy of those who set themselves up as "leaders" of others is always a good thing and this this case I suspect the publicity would be more than forthcoming.
Caroline has a new gallery at The Saatchi Site featuring some montages. She recently mentioned the artists have a problem pursuading traditional galleries exibiting anything with a political stance. It made me consider that in the world of cartoonists, the opposite is more often the case - with political comment and charicature taking pride of place. Mark Fiore is one such cartoonist although these days his work is mostly animation - See Here where he has a cutting new toon on the New Orleans disaster commemoration.
Talking of old mates, Richard Neville's new piece, "Killing News" is just up at OpEd and well worth the read as always. He also has a few other articles there that differ from those on his own website.
In the Undercurrents, it seems Bush has been up to no good interfering in Venezuala with Amerika financing and supporting moves to get rid of Hugo Chavez.
Later.
