SNOWE: Look, Sarah, as long as you're young and cute, you've got it made in politics. If you can shake your booty a little like DeLay did, then the whole conservative world will swoon over you.

PALIN: Shake my booty? You've gotta be kiddin'! This suit is so tight that if I make one bad move, my tits will explode!

Kseniya Simonova is a sand animator. She is also the 2009 winner of Ukraine’s Got Talent. She works with sand on an illuminated board with overhead projection and a soundtrack. Through sand and sound she tells of the Nazi invasion and occupation of the Ukraine in which 8 to 11 million Ukrainians (including over a half a million Jews) were killed out of a population of about 42 million.

But while Ms. Simonova’s talent at drawing intricate and poignant pictures in the sand is amazing in and of itself, it is the progression of her images in perfect time to music which so moves and enchants. The images flow as if the sand itself were being played as a musical instrument. Included is an orchestral version of Metallica’s Nothing Else Matters.

The artist herself is stunning, yet in the passion of her work she achieves a beauty that transcends the physical. She effortlessly creates, then destroys, then recreates one masterpiece after another through subtle evolutions, literally explosive transformations, and everything in between. As Jgoo24 crudely, but accurately, notes in the comments to the YouTube video: “sand is her bitch.”

She fearlessly plumbs the deepest of human emotions universal and integral to her Ukrainian audience. By the end of the performance they are standing, applauding, and crying. By the time she blows out the candle you might be too.

Over two and a half million hits so far.

Taxi drivers to boycott Hyatt over firings

September 24, 2009 07:12 PM Megan Woolhouse, Globe Staff

Union officials at the Boston Taxi Drivers Association said they faxed a letter to the Hyatt yesterday saying taxi drivers would boycott the Hyatt, refusing to service the hotel's Boston locations, unless the housekeepers the chain fired last month were rehired.

Similarly, the Eastern Sociological Society, a group of sociology professionals and scholars, said it would withdraw its business unless the chain reconsidered its actions.

The moves by the groups are a response to Hyatt's firing of 98 hotel workers -- many 20-plus year employees of the corporation -- earlier on Aug. 31, and replacing them with workers from a Georgia-based staffing company. In a front page story in the Globe on Sept. 17, the housekeepers claimed that they had to train their replacements and told that the staffing agency workers were only vacation replacements. The former staff housekeepers at the center of the Hyatt controversy -- mostly minority women -- made about $15 an hour or $26,000 a year.

Hyatt officials have said in an e-mail that they regretted the firings and had to make "very difficult decisions to adjust costs in response to continuing declines in revenues."

Criticism of the company has increased. Union activists have launched a "Save the Hyatt 100" site on Facebook. And on Tuesday, Gov. Deval Patrick thrust the issue into the national spotlight, taking the unusual step of threatening a government boycott of the hotel chain.

Power To The People!


When will government of the people, by the politicians, for the corporations perish from this Earth?

Not soon enough!

people are finally catching on about what union busting has been about. POWER TO THE PEOPLE AND THE UNIONS.

miss_kitty's picture

Then I could boycott them!

Tax the Rich's picture

The reason these companies are losing money, is because corporate America has wiped out the middle class. These stupid greedy jackasses will never learn, that's why we need unions to make a huge comeback in this country.


If I were a psychopath, I would join the republican party, and get in on the gravy train taking the Teabircher morons to the cleaners.

proudlyprogressive's picture

We sure do need unions, in bad financial times corporateists squeeze the life blood out of employees and suck their wages dry. How is it that stupid people start corporations and refuse to pay living wages to the workers who are the life blood of a corporation, not the bloated CEO's who do nothing but glamour, vanity, Ms. Amerika pagents. It's called biting your nose to spite your face. Yep, CEO country.

Edwin's picture

You don't have to let them know that, just tell them you will not stay there (miss_kitty). I was looking for a contact email. These kind of stories really tick me off. A guy/gal's gotta have a job to live. It's a simple fact.

We are robots/machines to these people corporations, not humans.

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome...SARIA

SARIA (Sung to the tune of Maria)
I feel petty,
Oh, so petty,
I feel petty and shitty and slight!
And I pity
Any girl who is like me tonight.

I feel like arming,
Right wing arming
It's alarming how arming I feel!
I'm so petty
That I hardly can believe I'm real.

See the petty girl in that mirror there:
Who can that narcissistic girl be?
Such a petty face,
Such a petty dress,
Such a petty smile,
Such a petty me!

I feel cunning
Quite like lying,
Feel like quitting and chanting for joy,
For I'm loved
By a petty wonderful toy! Oy!


Educate and inform the whole mass of the people... They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty.

A certain anti-Moore site plays the "too much government is why we're in a crash, and not socialism" meme, while ironically proving Moore's point that our economic system does not represent the greater interests of the American public at large. Obama talks health care w/ the Congressional Black Caucus. Antidepressants hurt the hearts of newborns? J+J recalls children's medicine. Walmart hates history. Heckuva job, Arnie and Jeb. Californians and Floridians are moving out of their states in greater numbers. Oh, and Arnie's talk with Eunice Shriver's ghost prompted him to save some disabled people from being evicted, but not to save everyone else in the state. School drinking water across the country is contaminated. People cut off from the two Koreas reunite. A judge mocks our "evidence" on a Kuwaiti detainee, while a defense attorney is wondering if we have any evidence at all on an Afghan immigrant we're accusing of bomb-making. Meanwhile, the guy who built Gitmo says we lost the moral high ground. Palindrone got paid to criticize Obama.

The landing page has 4 "Obama Care: Stop Him" ads on it, showing Barack Obama with a superior sneer (because he is so elite, compared to John Sydney McCain III, the common man) and a surgeon's cap.

This is absolutely silly advertising, but why on this website/ Is Crooks & Liars being targeted? Doesn't it have control over the ads that appear on it's website?

Marc Faber: Capitalistic System Will Collapse, "Future Will Be A Total Disaster" (VIDEO)

In this month's issue of The Gloom, Boom & Doom Report, Marc Faber issued one of the gloomiest, most depressing takes on the financial crisis and its impact. Faber said that the future, "will be a total disaster, with a collapse of our capitalistic system as we know it today, wars, massive government debt defaults and the impoverishment of large segments of Western society."

Obama is not only not a socialist, he's not even a particularly progressive capitalist. He is part of the neo-liberal camp that has undermined the limited social-democratic character of the New Deal consensus, which dominated in the United States up until the so-called "Reagan revolution."

I put this on another thread yesterday, but it's appropriate here too. It was in a Wikpedia article about the old radio show Fibber McGee and Molly.

Teeny, also known as "Little Girl" and "Sis" (Marian Jordan) - a precocious youngster who was usually trying to cadge loose change from Fibber, and ending half her sentences with "I'm hungry!" and, especially, "I betcha!" Teeny was also known to lose track of her own conversations. When Fibber tried to show interest in what she was saying, she would seem to forget all about it. Her conversation would switch from telling about to asking about whatever it was. Then, when Fibber would repeat all she had been telling him, Teeny would reply "I know it!" in a condescending way.

Remind you of anyone?
