Peeking through the Curtains
David's upstairs neighbor, Sophina, began leaving him notes. David published her notes on his blog in the collection entitled The Astoria Notes.
Meanwhile, while looking for material that might interest the kids who struggle with reading in his high school English class, Ryan discovered "The Astoria Notes" on David's blog. Ryan asked David's permission to use them for a class exercise. The results are entitled "Dear Sophina".
Ready for another behind-the-curtain peek? Another creative collaboration? This one requires a little concentration, but it's important. It's about creating a war.
"Scooter" Libby's defense team just released certain documents that had previously been classified. Fortunately for democracy, eRiposte , a blogger at The Left Coaster, who has been following the lies that led up to the invasion of Iraq for quite sometime, was right on top of it.
If a Peeping Tom were to pay close attention, there's alot of underwear to be seen --Tony Blair's, Pat Robertson's, Colin Powell's, and the CIA's.
Okay, it's complicated, but thanks to Patience of comment #13 and Dave Chappelle, we have the film version.
The lesson: In the age of cyberattention, even though Big Brother may be watching us, we're watching him, and taking pictures with our cellphones. Our politicians are being held accountable for their words and actions.
Then, of course, there are those who have stopped bothering to hide their actions altogether, and shamelessly screw the nation right out in public.
Photo note: A pretty picture for not such a pretty picture.
