McCain Tries to Stand Next to the Pillars of History
August 27, 2008 · Leave a Comment
Barack Obama’s candidacy is historical. No other major political party has nominated an African American for the President of the United States. No other nominee has been backed by as many Americans as Obama. John McCain’s candidacy is historical too. No other major party has nominated a man as old as McCain for their first term to be President of the United States. And the only older candidate to be nominated was Ronald Regan for reelection, and it was later revealed, likely suffered from the early stages of... [Read the full story]

Foul Smell From Beijing More Than Olympic Pollution
August 9, 2007 · 17 Comments
This week’s Friday Drawing for a Reader, speaks directly to China’s human rights record on the eve of the 2008 Olympics, notably in reference to Darfur. Cooper’s blog, Darfur: An Unforgivable Hell on Earth, inspired the drawing.

Vogue Magazine, a Confession, and the Confused Artistry of Annie Leibovitz
March 22, 2008 · 23 Comments

I left the checkout with two beers, shaving cream and the April edition of Vogue, and a bit of fire for the keyboard with three points to make. First point. If you’re a photographer, and your going to rely on Photoshop to pull off your ill-conceived... [Read the full story]

The Curled Leaf War: A Serialized Novel - Episode 1
August 25, 2008 · Leave a Comment
Mud and rain mixed with blood and formed a reflective puddle between the two men. Jake, hunched behind a boulder; his friend, Isaac, propped against the trunk of a tree. The blood wasn’t Jake’s. Jake could see just the edge of Isaac’s face in the silvery puddle. His friend appeared dead except for the hand that occasionally smeared across his cheek. They needed to move, get back to the car, a three mile walk through dense underbrush and game trails. Throw in a few gorges and you had one shit-faced escape. And... [Read the full story]
