Obsolete Art Supplies?

Most of these things are used very seldom anymore, some NEVER! The Museum of Forgotten Art Supplies.

This week's interesting News Items

so we have the mysterious death of Michael Jackson, as well as the passing of Farah Fawcett and Ed McMahon - Rest in Peace.

Walter Cronkite is on his deathbed, according to reports.

We have the Iran protests and government/theocracy retaliations, the joke that is the 'health insurance' debate (debacle?), and the crazey right-wingers who keep saying that Barak Obama is out to destroy the USA and freedom everywhere (sheesh!)

what will next week bring....stay tuned!

Max Baucus (DLC- MT- $2,833,731)
Mitch McConnell (R-KY- $2,758,468)
