“A Matter of PRIDE: The Battle on the River-Tyne (Ootside! Yeandme!)”
pencil, digital. 2006.
Ahh Newcastle - Stag party capital of the great North East! We sure did have blast there, as burdened as are minds were with thoughts of chosen wars and trumped up fear and masses blinded by cuteness. We got to witness the great battle for dominance of a river that divides two towns (Newcastle and river rival Gateshead), and at the same time unites them. All without a drop of blood spilled.
We created this panoramic in 2006 for the exhibition “Spank the Monkey” at the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art in Gateshead, UK.

March is Irish-American Heritage Month, a time to celebrate “the hardy character, the rich cultural heritage, and the many valuable contributions of Irish-Americans” to our Nation (from the 1991 Presidential Proclamation of President George Bush).
We are sharing this image, which is captioned, “Irish Clam Diggers, Boston, Mass. 1882.”

I love to explain how George Bush created 50 shades of grey
Imagine that.
A number of times where a gunman was legally capable of buying the weapons they used to kill people. It’s almost as if the ban on the sale of AR-15’s that ended in 2004 could have prevented a majority of the mass shootings that’s occured since. It would still be in effect if it hadn’t been given a 10-year limit. All the Constitutional challenges to the Ban failed to make a case in that whole time, too.
I doubt it’ll get enacted again soon since Congress has shifted too far to the Right to actually be able to function in a way to help the People. Mass shootings will continue to end up like these as long as people are legally able to buy the weapons with little to no hurdles to go thru.
Trump just signed an executive order calling for a reinstatement of the Global Gag Rule. This video is a simple breakdown of what the Global Gag Rule is and its implications.

If the United States coughs, the rest of the world is going to catch the flu.

and the Iraqi people welcomed the Americans with flowers. I wanted to set a historical event to teach Bush a lesson from the Iraqis, telling him you lied, we did not welcome you with flowers, and instead we are saying goodbye with our shoes.“
Muntaza Al Zaidi, the Iraqi reporter who became known as the guy who threw a shoe at Bush and later ended up in jail for three years because of it.
happy 12 years to bush shoeing incident
Not all heroes wear capes, sometimes they throw shoes.

Dubya’s back to put things into perspective.
The Plaid Sheep was the briefest of ventures into music for George W. Bush during his heady days at Yale, made even briefer by the fact that he couldn’t sing or play an instrument. The group’s first gig at the Purple Pit failed miserably. Although George managed to get a few screams from the front-of-stage coeds when he twirled his scarf, his spastic bongo solo during a folk version of “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" cleared the room. Even his bandmates left the stage after he launched into a diatribe about supply-side economics. His drummer would later become his Assistant Secretary for Water and Science.

The detail that these murdered people were found in a Volvo covered by teddy bears.
Funny how I’m compiling this as I’m watching the movie Spencer.
Oh, so this was right after President Bush’s dog, Millie had babies:
Millie, the first dog, gave birth Friday night, bearing at least two puppies at the White House beauty parlor, according to Anna Perez, a spokeswoman for First Lady Barbara Bush.
The springer spaniel produced her first puppy at 9:15 p.m. and another 15 minutes later, Perez said. She said there was a possibility that more would be born.
President Bush, knowing of his wife’s concern about Millie and the pups, had a bed moved into the beauty parlor for the First Lady, Perez said. He then went to bed by himself in another room, she said. 1
Thus, the last time puppies were born at the White House. Spot, George H.W. Bush’s dog was one of Millie’s babies.
I originally read this article wrong and thought the family was ON the tennis court and the plane crashed on them. The cause wasn’t found until 1992:
The National Transportation Safety Board has blamed pilot error and improper maintenance for a twin-engine plane crash here three years ago that killed all five members of a Canadian family heading home from a Disneyland holiday.
“The pilot failed to attain adequate airspeed before maneuvering back toward the airport, which resulted in a loss of aircraft control,” the safety board said in a report on the March 31, 1989, crash. A contributing factor, the agency said, was an improperly installed part that allowed contamination of fuel injectors and a loss of power in the right engine. 2
A job spending money just to meet me for an interview, put me in a fancy hotel for an interview, is something completely foreign to me. I do not have law school in late 1990s privilege. I was too dumb for that in school. I’m still dumb.
There was an article about swimsuit help, you know? Problem is, they showed no swimsuits! I went looking for some 1989 swimsuits, and the closest I could find was the Sears catalog from 1988–but there are still ruffles!
This is a strange article for the newspaper. Connie Chung was on David’s show a few times? ok.
Here is the “a day with Connie Chung” bit, and here is part two.
Working Girl was still in the theaters! Albeit, the dollar theater, but still! That movie came out in December. I guess Forum couldn’t say they had topless dancers, so they used the word Stopless instead?
Fraggle Rock on every night during the week? Man, I miss early cable.
Oh, here we go, Funky Winkerbean disappointing us again. That’s not a joke. That’s … nothing. Where is my person who writes Sun of Stuck Funky at, I need them to look at this.
I’ve mentioned dozens of times before that my mom would read me the comics when I was little. I had completely forgotten about Adam. Little me probably confused it with Rose is Rose or something. Adam has a totally different, nearly unrecognizable look now.
So this was when department stores like Montgomery Ward and Sears began selling more name brand items and less of their in-store brands and making their electronics departments bigger.
Highland closed their doors in March of 1993. We all know what happened to Montgomery Wards in 2000 and Sears is, as always, on death’s door. Last time I checked there are about 17 left.
Well, the comic book fans had nothing to worry about, right? I’ve never seen Batman 1989–and it was the first VHS tape my dad ever bought and I STILL have never seen Batman ‘89.
Oh, boy. Nick’s. This place was a D U M P. And their logo looks like a dead Willard Scott, sorry Willard.
