Captured!

Got tickets to South America. Almost finished with Pablo's apartment in Back Bay. Need many cocktails.

"Lend me a whole
new world
All night Feel life
When is there ever sense
To love
This world...

Oh I love this feeling
Feels like forever
Oh I love this feeling
Feels like real Leather"

When in doubt, smile.

After a rather insane evening in the ER of Mass General with dad (who was basically airlifted out of the Sean McDonough Foundation Charity Auction at the Boston Harbor Hotel last night) I fully committed to my South American vacation. Dad's fine, (he had only fainted- possibly from being so close to all the sports celebs and mostly because he hadn't hydrated - we freaked out as only Dwyers can) my nerves are shot and I missed out on a great party. Oh well... we are getting him a canteen...

I've added a link to some of my paintings/artwork. The first two are in a series of four landscapes I did in San Francisco right after FRISK. More soon...

I am going to see Antony on September 28th. I am so psyched!

Barbara Bush: It's Good Enough for the Poor
John NicholsTue Sep 6, 1:08 PM ET
The Nation -- Finally, we have discovered the roots of George W. Bush's "compassionate conservatism."

On the heels of the president's "What, me worry?" response to the death, destruction and dislocation that followed upon Hurricane Katrina comes the news of his mother's Labor Day visit with hurricane evacuees at the Astrodome in Houston.

Commenting on the facilities that have been set up for the evacuees -- cots crammed side-by-side in a huge stadium where the lights never go out and the sound of sobbing children never completely ceases -- former First Lady Barbara Bush concluded that the poor people of New Orleans had lucked out.

"Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality. And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this, this is working very well for them," Mrs. Bush told American Public Media's "Marketplace" program, before returning to her multi-million dollar Houston home.

On the tape of the interview, Mrs. Bush chuckles audibly as she observes just how great things are going for families that are separated from loved ones, people who have been forced to abandon their homes and the only community where they have ever lived, and parents who are explaining to children that their pets, their toys and in some cases their friends may be lost forever. Perhaps the former first lady was amusing herself with the notion that evacuees without bread could eat cake.

At the very least, she was expressing a measure of empathy commensurate with that evidenced by her son during his fly-ins for disaster-zone photo opportunities.
On Friday, when even Republican lawmakers were giving the federal government an "F" for its response to the crisis, President Bush heaped praise on embattled Federal Emergency Management Agency chief Michael Brown. As thousands of victims of the hurricane continued to plead for food, water, shelter, medical care and a way out of the nightmare to which federal neglect had consigned them, Brown cheerily announced that "people are getting the help they need."

Barbara Bush's son put his arm around the addled FEMA functionary and declared, "Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job."

Like mother, like son.

After reading these, can you tell me what country we are living in????

Hurricane's eye becomes eye-opener

Will people finally wake up to the criminals in the White House? Is a major American city like New Orleans the price to pay?
