One Of My Favorite Paintings
I have this framed poster in the basement. I love the way it mythologizes the dream and potential of America.

Calvin's Canadian Cave Of Cool Manifesto
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.

I love this one too.
Plus, George had some mad balancing skills.
Brother George was a mad pimp. I love the story about how at first he agreed to be President only for expenses but after they found out how much he spent on shit they insisted he take a salary. Plus unlike anyone of his time he had a modern understanding of the media.
I loved the movie that starred Jeff Daniels as George.
It kind of makes me sad, given this country's demise.

I wish the tea baggers who claim to love the 'founders' so much would actually try to live UP to their example and not down to it. Sure they were horndogs and slave owners and effite dandies but they were very enlightened for their time. The 'founders' would be horrified to see how their names have been taken in vain by just the kind of people they would NEVER have anything to do with.
You painted Crossington washing the Delaware!
