The Artists Were Clearly Influenced By Robert Mapplethorpe's Later Work.

This seems to be recycling day on my end, so let's get some frivolity in it. Thanks to the Wiz and EDSBS for tipping us to what happens when your college football stadium is left open to the public, like Cincy's Nippert Stadium is.

Passive-Aggressive Much, Mrs. Bush?

The White House's annual Easter Egg Roll would be completely and utterly unremarkable to me, except for this little tidbit, which happened to make its way into the AP copy.

After her welcome, the first lady sat in one of the area's designated reading nooks and read "Duck for President," by Doreen Cronin. It's a story of a duck who gets sick of farm chores and decides to run for office - first for head of the farm, then governor and, finally, president. In the end he decides running the country is too much work and goes back to the farm.

I'm just going to leave it at that.

The Ghost of Bill Hicks Approves.

Saw it on Deadspin yesterday, but Cavs forward/center Scot Pollard had to apologize today (yeah, that's him in the dress) for saying "Hey kids, do drugs" while sitting on the bench during a game against Indiana. He said it was a bad joke; I disagree. I didn't see the game, but I bet that was pretty damn funny. Besides, why not encourage kids to do drugs? There are obvious downsides, but drugs have done good things for us. Don't believe me? Watch the master below.



(Really, this post was just an excuse to put up Hicks video, but it's a good one.)
