Daily Dose of Moss

Sorry Frangry, but there’s enough Moss for everyone.
Sphere: Related Content“No one would criticize a mother who puts her family first.”
Sphere: Related ContentPalin’s recent interviews with Charles Gibson, Sean Hannity, and now Katie Couric have all revealed an attractive, earnest, confident candidate. Who Is Clearly Out Of Her League.
No one hates saying that more than I do. Like so many women, I’ve been pulling for Palin, wishing her the best, hoping she will perform brilliantly. I’ve also noticed that I watch her interviews with the held breath of an anxious parent, my finger poised over the mute button in case it gets too painful. Unfortunately, it often does. My cringe reflex is exhausted…. If BS were currency, Palin could bail out Wall Street herself. [...]
McCain can’t repudiate his choice for running mate. He not only risks the wrath of the GOP’s unforgiving base, but he invites others to second-guess his executive decision-making ability. Barack Obama faces the same problem with Biden.
Only Palin can save McCain, her party, and the country she loves. She can bow out for personal reasons, perhaps because she wants to spend more time with her newborn. No one would criticize a mother who puts her family first.
Do it for your country.

Using a custom drawing tool, thousands of individuals working in isolation from one another painted a tiny part of the bill without knowledge of the overall task. Workers were paid one cent each via Amazon’s Mechanical Turk distributed labor tool. The total labor cost to create the bill, the artwork being created, and the reproductions available for purchase are all $100.
‘Who needs blood when you’ve got lipstick?’
Sphere: Related ContentPainted in 2005-2006, it is a self-portrait in lipstick marked with her own lip prints and stains of her former boyfriend Pete Doherty’s blood.
Estimated to fetch between £30,000 and £40,000, the painting is not signed, but is inscribed by Doherty “Who needs blood when you’ve got lipstick?”, and comes with a receipt of sale made out on a Soho House napkin from Doherty, who originally owned the painting.

Empire of the Sun
A fabulous cover! George Lucas should be proud, and David Bowie should be ashamed he wasn’t this clever ;)
Here is more info on the band. Apparently Luke Steel from The Sleepy Jackson formed Empire of the Sun with Nick Littlemore from Pnau/Teenagers. Rockin’ good music.
Sphere: Related ContentTake a breath.
I don’t know what it means to take a breath. It’s something I’m learning I need to do more often. A lot of family and friends are calling me to ask whats up. And, I’m realizing, I don’t talk to the people that live near me as much as I should - they have email, alas. There is some sort of bell curve shape to communication, with frequency and length of communication as variables. I’d draw a nice chart, If I had enough time. :)
So let’s recap and take a breath. January, I got engaged, to this really amazing woman. July, I married her. July 14th, I started a new job. The end of July we went to Hawaii. The middle of August I went to SF. September is already over and I feel like I’ve done nothing but glue my behind in a chair. October 4th I move into a new apartment (in Canton). The middle of October I leave for company business in another state. It’s good to be busy, but I’ve been far too busy.
After then, for everyone that I’ve been out of touch with, I promise we’ll spend more time together.

David Letterman tells audience that McCain called him today to tell him he had to rush back to DC to deal with the economy.
Then in the middle of the taping Dave got word that McCain was, in fact just down the street being interviewed by Katie Couric. Dave even cut over to the live video of the interview, and said, “Hey Senator, can I give you a ride home?”
Earlier in the show, Dave kept saying, “You don’t suspend your campaign. This doesn’t smell right. This isn’t the way a tested hero behaves.” And he joked: “I think someone’s putting something in his metamucil.”
“He can’t run the campaign because the economy is cratering? Fine, put in your second string quarterback, Sara Palin. Where is she?”
“What are you going to do if you’re elected and things get tough? Suspend being president? We’ve got a guy like that now!”
