The Obama Peace Prize Imbroglio



By Pablo Fanque
All This Is That National Affairs Editor


After listening to The President justify a two-front war in his speech accepting the Nobel Peace Prize yesterday, I've heard everything. I like Barack Obama, mostly. I even voted for him. But all I can think after that speech is:

a) Martin Luther King, Jr., Mother Theresa, Albert Schweitzer and the other laureates must be rolling in their graves;
b) "OK, you've won the peace prize. Now go out and earn it!"; and
c) war is not the only road to peace.

Stealth squatter: a woman secretly living (and eating) in a guy's apartment

A fascinating and creepy story. A woman had been living in the crawlspace of a guy's NYC apartment for weeks. He started to notice food was missing and set up a video cam.

"Yes, I found out the hard way that I had an uninvited guest living in my apartment, sharing my food and drinks and pissing in my sink. Talk about a creepy situation... only in the big apple...."

The hooligan in me can somehow appreciate the whole notion of a stealth squatter. Maybe those weren’t really rodents we heard in the walls when I lived in NYC?

You can read more on YouTube, or here on N*akedApartments.

This is the painting NYC painter and professor (and Shaman!) Barnaby Ruhe did of me and Keelin at the painting marathon we attended a couple weeks ago. He finished it in less than an hour. It was awesome to watch (and hear) him at work. Thanks Barnaby!
