I heart me some Arianna

Okay, so The Huffington Post may not be what you’d want to call impartial. But its front page for today warms my cockles. In an article titled “3 Days of Undoing Bush,” a partial list of Obama’s activities includes:

Signs order to close Guantanamo

Shutters CIA “Black Site” prisons

Forbids torture of detainees

Lifts abortion “gag rule”

Freezes proposals on easing emissions

Revives Freedom of Information Act

Not bad for his first half a week on the job.

Remember the first thing his predecessor did? Went on vacation. Yes that's right.

And all right, I’ve mostly forgiven Obama for that offensive faux pas with fag-bashing hypocrite Rick Warren. The spectacle of that bigot pretending to grace Obama's inaguration with Christian love almost made me forego the rest of it. Glad I persevered.

But that's another post, isn't it.

Thank you Buchino for alerting me to the Huffington cover story.

You can get there from here

Check it out: fab graphic designer Michael Buchino has riffed on the famous New Yorker cover to display how the universe looks from our end of it. I find it especially endearing that the only two places in his cartography between here and Boston are Chicago and Louisville.



PS Having now failed several times to upload a photo you can actually see, I'm now making the illegal move of just linking directly to where the image lives: right here.

Enjoy.
