Up top we’ve got Marlaine, Director of the bag factory, and below her is Ronan, project manager at the trinity session. Both of their eyes are closed because they are oh so happy to see me ;) The pic is from a li’l braai we had on Sunday.
In this month’s Artthrob, Carine Zaayman, our new media editor of note, takes on her relatives. Big deal? They happen to be some of those loons that buy into notions like buying pirated DVDs gives money to Al Quaeda.
Sigh.
If nothing else, it brings some great resources into the fray, putting American Politics up front for people other than American Artists; it seems that apathy may be spreading, and she is an avenger helping ‘the cause’ in South Africa.
“I believe that the most dangerous thing about blogs to the status quo is that so many of them exist for reasons other than to make money. A thriving community of people who are engaged for free, to me, have a certain authority that people doing things for money don’t.”

In this post, we hear Kerry say:
The Vice President called me unfit for office last night. Well, I’Äôll leave it up to the voters to decide whether five deferments makes someone more qualified to defend this nation than two tours of duty.
Let me tell you what I think makes someone unfit for duty. Misleading our nation into war in Iraq makes you unfit to lead this nation. Doing nothing while this nation loses millions of jobs makes you unfit to lead this nation. Letting 45 million Americans go without healthcare makes you unfit to lead this nation. Letting the Saudi Royal Family control our energy costs makes you unfit. Handing out billions of government contracts to Halliburton while you’Äôre still on their payroll makes you unfit. That’Äôs the record of George Bush and Dick Cheney.¬Ý And that only scratches the surface.
