For those who had no Bostwick in their classroom.

Artisan Baker Creates Edible Bread Body Parts

The beauty of art is that it can take the form and shape of almost anything.  Some of the most basic things in life can actually be molded into an art form.  Of sorts. 

Even the least expected.  In ways not usually considered.

Artist and baker Kittiwat Unarrom from Ratchaburi, Thailand uses dough to sculpt body parts.  And sells quite a few of them.  See how  hands, feet, and faces take on a new dimension.  An edible one at that. 

Wealthy Members Of Congress

Despot Ahmadinejad Shows True Colors

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, reveals quite a bit about his persona with this statement found at Think Exist.

“How can you prove you are not a bad person? You can’t prove that.”

Well, you certainly can prove it when you allow fraudulent election results to stand, while you call your goons to silence the rioting civil unrest with beatings, shootings, murders, jailings, and news reporting and cell phone shut down to prevent the world from knowing just exactly where your true character lies.

Joe Cartoon has been very generous in its portrayal of the controversial winner of Iran’s recent presidential election.

All Barack Channel Sales Pitch Challenged By Doctors

Insane the idea of trying to ram rod legislation that could alter in such a major way, health care in this country.  But that is exactly what the White House is planning on doing.  Barack Obama’s incessant penchant for reminding all how he won the election and how he is the president, seems to be his mantra for trying to force his will upon the country.  A basic premise in the U.S. is freedom of expression.  The ability to debate the merits and weaknesses of proposed legislation dates back to the inception of this country.  A worthy concept that at the minimum, gives both sides on an issue the chance to be heard, and the decision makers and those affected to provide feedback.
