The Obama Administration: FEDERAL PAY FREEZE?!?!

Is anyone else ALARMED that the Obama Administration is putting a pay freeze on federal employees (Except for the military)? In theory, it's supposed to bring us out of the deficit.  In reality, it brings us one step closer to being a totalitarian militia-state!

The President is now  singing the same tune as his GOP opposition, with talks of "fiscal responsibility," and things of that nature, but all it sounds like is a money hungry, small powerful government that would rather see a pay freeze than a tax cut for the exceedingly wealthy. SMH. That's a mess.

Nukero: The World's ONLY Solar Light Bulb

"The N200 is small, lightweight, and durable, and Nokero describes it as 'humanity’s best chance at ending the dangerous and polluting practice of burning kerosene fuel for lighting.' An astounding quarter of the world’s population still burns fossil fuels for light, resulting in 190 million tons of carbon dioxide being released into the air each year."-InHabitat

Harry Potter: International Cult?

Sitting back in my reclining chair at the movie theaters about a week ago, I started to think about the ritualistic nature of movie-going. We pay too much for the experience; meaning we consider going to the movies a VALUABLE experience.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part One) grossed an obscene amount of money in its opening weekend, and it was only after my friends and I cut a line, that would soon wind around corners of a rather large theater, that I realized how cult-like the whole Harry Potter craze really is.

People (notice how I didn't say children) dressed up as Harry, Ron, and Hermione ALL OVER THE WORLD, clutching books like bibles, reciting spells, waiting for the visual manifestation of an enchanted story. By no means am I religious conservative zealot, or even observing with a critical eye. It just amazes me that words can hold so much power.

Infamous street artist Armstruck is back at it again with a new exhibit opening, entitled "NOCTURNE ON A DRAINPIPE FLUTE," in Denmark on December 10th, at Wonderland Art Space in Copenhagen. 

"The best way we can describe Armsrock's work is classical technique thrown through a stream of urban consciousness filter. There will definitely be more of this at Wonderland." -Juxtapoz Magazine
