i believe the answer to your question is monday through sunday. of course, alphabet soup often tells me more than the news. all i get from the news is things i can't do anything about.

tells me more
about me
the world around me
than the media
ever could.

the news of late has become the mouthpiece of the Capitol Hill contingent. (don't even get me started on Fox News or Bill O-freaking-'Reilly) It may be informative, but thoroughly one sided, and that, by design.
Guernica was a great example... shit, the Franco regime probably tried to deny that any of that even happened and would have spun the news sources of the day to say so
lately, most people here in America are too busy letting Ari Fleischer and Condoleeza Rice spoonfeed their opinions about world events to them through the major networks

i heard about this statue (eric fischl's "tumbling woman") that was a memorial to those who jumped or fell to their death in the world trade center. apparently it was draped in cloth and curtained off because of complaints that it was too disturbing.
"the sculpture was not meant to hurt anybody." fischl said in a statement. "it was a sincere expression of my deepest sympathy for the vulnerability of the human condition."
i got so upset at the people who were complaining that the bronze statue was in bad taste because it was a nude. don't people try to understand art at all? maybe there is something else, like being naked representing vulnerability...that it was a tribute, and a beautiful one at that
