| Looking west on East Seventh Street, looking up to the big chunk of sky stolen by the Astor Place “Sculpture for Living.” They are placing the tinted windows on the lower floors right now. This building is going to radically change the feel of this neighborhood. |
WLIB the home station of Air America Radio, is inserting local content, traffic, weather, station IDs etc. on the hour and half-hour. I’m not sure if there are more commercials, but I think the breaks are coming at different intervals. Maybe they are setting things up to make themselves more syndication friendly. AA’s original plan was to buy stations, and have control over the whole broadcast day. They are now in 37 cities as well as XM and Sirius Satellite.
Al Franken is floating a new catch phrase: “It’s the incompetence, Stupid!” Franken’s show has been pretty funny of late. I especially like the shows they do before live audiences.

| “No W” on East Tenth Street. |
Conservative commentator and former Republican presidential candidate Pat Buchanan’s American Conservative magazine has endorsed Kerry – “Bush has behaved like a caricature of what a right-wing president is supposed to be, and his continuation in office will discredit any sort of conservatism for generations. The launching of an invasion against a country that posed no threat to the U.S., the doling out of war profits and concessions to politically favored corporations, the financing of the war by ballooning the deficit to be passed on to the nation’s children, the ceaseless drive to cut taxes for those outside the middle class and working poor: It is as if Bush sought to resurrect every false 1960s-era, left-wing cliche about predatory imperialism and turn it into administration policy.”
Fading faith in Bush regime The Capital Times
“Kerry in a Landslide!” Randi Rhodes has been saying it for months, now the GammaBlaBlog is saying it as well.
Don’t believe the polls saying it is an even race. They don’t even include the mostly youthful cell phone users. Also consider the numbers of newly registered voters. What motivates such a massive turnout? They want a change. The Republicans, with nothing positive to run on, are following a strategy of voter intimidation. They are running scared.
I have faith in the American people, they do not like being lied to, especially when those lies brought us to war. They will not allow the presidency to be stolen again.

| Rik Shepherd has sent me more detailed photos of the Swoon prints in Manchester, England. Read the whole story here.
Swoon seems to be using a technique I’ve not seen her to use here in NYC. It looks like white ink on almost transparent paper (or maybe it’s some sort of plastic). |
