If the SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION has its way, a giant fine art version of SHEPARD FAIREY's iconic portrait of the now-president elect BARACK OBAMA will enter the collection of its NATIONAL PORTRAIT GALLERY as the first official fine art rendering of the future president. The only hitch? Money. The $75,000 price tag for the piece, which was created by Fairey as the centerpiece of his "Manifest Hope" Obama art show that took place in Denver during this year's DNC, must be raised through donations, though word on the street is that the museum is close to meeting this figure. As if having a street artist with a criminal record branding a presidential campaign weren't enough, this move can definitely be filed under the headers of "Hope," and "Progress."

Not really an Alex Grey fan, but his Obama is pretty impressive.

75K actually seems cheap given the historic nature of the piece.  I could see it being worth 7 figures some day.

Well if you live in LA and want your very own...

Shepard Fairey has a few more signed copies of his large "Hope" Obama thin paper offset to get rid of, so they are holding a special release this weekend at Subliminal Projects in LA.  Copies will be $50, and the doors open Saturday, November 16 at 12pm PST (though I expect people will be lined up well before then).  The prints can be purchased by credit card only, and if you already scored one through Obey Giant, they will not sell you one.  Subliminal Projects is located at 1331 W. Sunset Blvd. in Los Angeles.  For more info, visit SubliminalProjects.com.

U.S. House of Representatives nut-job Michele Bachmann (R) of Minnesota's 6th District tries to help McCain and their team get the job done but instead blows up the internets with "Obama is Anti-American" nonsense on Hardball and her opponent Elwyn Tinklenberg (D) receives over $600,000 in the next day and a half.

That chick is nuts.  She says crazy stuff all the time.  Like recently, how there is no wildlife in the ANWR, and about how liberals' global warming fanaticism about saving the planet is unnecessary because someone already saved the planet 2000 years ago.  She's also kind of racist, if you ask me.  Point being, she's said some pretty over-the-top stuff before.  This was probably just like any other interview for her; too bad for her people paid attention this time.

...we've got a congress[woman] from Minnesota who's going around saying, 'Let's examine all congressmen to see who is pro-America and whose not pro-America.' We've got to stop this kind of nonsense and pull ourselves together...

people like that are scary   :-o

Yep.
She probably believes that we don't need to save the world because the rapture is a'coming.

We call this "bat-shit crazy".

jedi, you elect this bitch?

how did she get into congress?

A lot of Americans are, in fact, bat-shit crazy.

Well, she's still bat-shit crazy.  And, without any help from myself (or, I doubt, jedi), this bitch is back in congress.  What's she up to now?  For one thing, she wants on to the Committee on Ways & Means, due to her increased cred and public image points she scored during the campaign (she doesn't get how bad it was - remember, she's crazy).  And the other night, she showcased her disconnection with reality with some delusions on the above subject on FOXNews.  I didn't watch it or anything, but here's an excerpt from today's Minneapolis StarTribune:

Rep. Michele Bachmann, appearing Tuesday night on Fox News' show with Sean Hannity and Alan Colmes, dismissed as an "urban legend" reports that she had suggested on a preelection cable show with MSNBC's Chris Matthews that then-Sen. Barack Obama and other members of Congress may be "anti-American" and that the media should investigate them as such.
...
Bachmann suggested, as she has before, that she was baited and trapped by the media, which created an "urban legend" about what she says she really said.

"What I said was, 'Do your job,'" Bachmann said. "That's what I said."

Anyway.  Bitch is nuts.

^^ Nice Obama artwork!

And yeah, Michele Bachmann is crazy.  "Bachmann Pathology Overdrive"  :lol:

Digging through some old video archives, found this video:
