Sarane Alexandrian has died.

The group of Surrealist Movement members directly associated with Breton, Picabia and other Pre-WWII members becomes one fewer this week. Sarane was an active Movement member in the 1940's - 1950's, director of NEON, headed the journal Supérieur Inconnu, wrote the overview 'Surrealist Art' (1969) and countless other books and novels. Our comrade will be missed.

Rep. Joe Wilson, you so crazzzy

Another sad and brazen display of impertinence in Congress shadowed President Obama's address regarding healthcare reform in America. Representative Joe 'Can't shut my piehole' Wilson, interrupted the speech a couple of times shouting at the President and blatantly in a louder voice: 'You Lie'. I urge the South Carolinians who voted this buffoon into office to join us in the new century and elect a leader whose whiteness and dull wit will not continue to be a roadblock to progress in their state.
