(Pictured) Lebanon's Hezbollah supporters smoke as they sit on the highway leading to Beirut's international airport. You know, if you have to blockade a highway, you might as well enjoy a smoke while you're at it.

http://arthistorian.files.wordpress.com/2007/08/11mural-600.jpg: May 6, 10:45pm 1 review iraq, art, murals, artwork •http://arthistorian.files.wordpress.c...; I recently watched a video documenting the painting of murals by Iraqi artist on blast walls erected by U.S. occupiers. Their work, given the circumstances, is inspiring to say the least. This is what ABC news had to say about it:

"Unending stretches of concrete blocks set up to prevent insurgent attacks have virtually walled in Baghdad, but in the process have also created a canvas for artists to paint Iraq's natural beauty. The wall sections, each nine metres long and two metres high, are part of the vast network of concrete blocks and concertina wires that carve up the capital, where bloody attacks are still a daily occurrence.

Dubbed "concrete caterpillars" by the US military, the walls have in some places boxed in entire neighborhoods and markets to protect them from bombings.

However, Iraqi artists, backed by the municipality which wants to spruce up the city, are now using them as canvases on which to paint images from Iraq's 1,000-year-old civilization." - (source, ABC news)

Always interesting, always entertaining, and has the four thousand plus fans to prove it. Her sense of humor is one of her best qualities imho. Truly one of the reasons I have been so involved in the Stumbleupon community. I really just can't say enough nice things about her.

I'm thinking it will sill be worth the withdrawals if the internet ever spontaneously combusted. And I seriously haven't heard "instant pleasure" in forever and had no idea how much I missed it until now.
