    I’ll just leave this here. I made it. It’s fake news. Aside from too much time on my hands, I had the image above in a directory on my computer entitled “Atwater” and I really just wanted to delete the folder. It’s a photo of law partners1 Paul Manafort2, Roger Stone3, and Lee Atwater4. I’m surprised I haven’t posted anything about Lee Atwater4. I like to make conversations about him on occasion because of his influence on the state of affairs in politics today. If you’ve got too much time on your hands as well, there’s a little documentary entitled “Boogie Man: The Lee Atwater Story” that I recommend5.

    This is an Adobe Illustrator file that took quite a bit of time and likely a bit of caffeine to complete. On the right is the original image and on the left is the vector image I created. It was tedious and good practice. You can click through the images to see the detail in the full sized image.

  • Meetings

    All meetings should be on monday afternoons or tuesday mornings. Wednesday meetings seem to be an afterthought invention of middle men trying to make themselves useful. On friday morning… “how far along are we?” and I always want to say… “I’d be done by now if you hadn’t waited until wednesday afternoon to bring it up”

    dodSpeech: May 2010

    “When I was Director of Central Intelligence in the 1980s, I was briefed on a plan to launch balloons into Libya dropping leaflets telling the people to overthrow the government. I told them to make sure the leaflets specifically said that it was Qaddafi who should be overthrown. I could imagine strong westerly winds carrying balloons with a generic overthrow your government right across Libya and into Egypt. I thought President Mubarak would not be pleased.”
