News that Minnesota’s soon to be ex- Governor Tim Pawlenty has written a book set to be released on January 11, 2011 was accompanied by a picture of the forthcoming book’s cover:
The cover image ended speculation about why Gov Timmy had been seen grimacing presidentially posing for photographers in scenic Frontenac State Park a few months ago.
Pretty as the cover is, some felt it might be improved by the use of imagery more personally relevant to its subject, and asked me to create an alternate cover implementing their suggestions:
There. Fixed it.
Not that the Pawlenty ppl would ever take my advice on effective graphics, for books or campaign signs or anythingelse…

You asked for it — Now you can show the world you’re a card-carrying member of the Cackle of Rads. The perfect icebreaker at your Republican neighbor’s next tea party-kaffe klatsch. Hours of fun! Best of all: showing your official Cackle of Rads membership card is guaranteed to precipitate refudiation by Sarah Palin!
This is the official membership card of the Cackle of Rads. Accept no substitutes. Union-printed in the USA. Always look for the union label.

Oh, and yes as a matter of fact we DO have a spare bedroom, completely furnished with stuff from IKEA, in which someone is welcome to stay. (All they have to do is assemble a futon frame, nightstand, and table lamp.) See you next June!
Seen at boingboing, via Making Light, an intelligent, very accessible explanation of our current econopocalypse, explained by (prepare undies for bunching!) Marxist sociologist David Harvey at London’s Royal Society for the Arts.
Of course, you don’t have to get your undies in a bunch at the mention of the M word. Undie-bunching is the response of the fearful, blind follower. Just this once, just for today, try asking yourself if you have the courage to consider other points of view. Hint: Blind allegiance to an ideology --ANY ideology-- isn’t courage.
Brilliant, high-speed whiteboard animation. Well worth watching. Even more worth discussing…
