George W. Bush set to release 98 new paintings of wounded veterans of (his) war
by Jack Brummet, National Affairs Ed.
On Veterans Day, George W. Bush posted a photo of himself painting a portrait of a wounded veteran who served the U.S. during his time in office.
The former President wrote:
"Over the past several months, I’ve painted the portraits of 98 wounded warriors I’ve gotten to know – remarkable men and women who were injured carrying out my orders. I think about them on #VeteransDay and every day. Their paintings and stories will be featured in PORTRAITS OF COURAGE – a book and special exhibit – next spring, and I am donating all my proceeds to @thebushcenter and our Military Service Initiative’s work to honor and support them."

Two sounds: The Love Frequency and The Brown Note
By Jack Brummet
The Love Frequency - You can buy an instrument to create this noise; the Lovertuner mindfulness tone necklace. "Lovetuner is the term for a tiny single-tone flute, through which we can align ourselves with the 528 HZ frequency - the so called Love Frequency." It makes you happy. You can find the sound online. It's a nice sound, but I didn't achieve bliss listening to it. Maybe it takes Pavlovian training? $58 retail.
The Brown Note - The brown note is a hypothetical infrasonic frequency that causes humans to lose control of their bowels due to resonance. Attempts to demonstrate the existence of a brown note using sound waves transmitted through the air all have failed (notably on Mythbusters). It is supposed to be somewhere in the range of 2Hz to 15Hz.
In South Park's season 3 episode 17 *"World Wide Recorder Concert") , the brown note is a central plot point. The boys rewrite the music for Yoko Ono and Kenny G's worldwide recorder concert to include the brown note. Naturally, they succeed at the concert, and with the international television audience as millions of people around the world instantly involuntarily evacuate.

Poem: Keeping on
By Jack Brummet
You gather your friends
Around you
Like a shock of wheat,
Like a bulwark
Or a last ditch bivouac
In the cold rain and snow.
