Something I&#8217;ve noticed about the hard-right contingent: they really hate being ignored. They&#8217;re fine with being called crazy, fanatical, even fascist. But call them irrelevant or, even worse, fail to mention them at all, and they go apeshit.
For example, I always felt Ann Coulter&#8217;s increasingly bizarre pronouncements last year [...]]]></description>

INTERNET STATEMENT, by altemark., used under a Creative Commons license
Dammit internet, I do love you. But there&#8217;s no talking to you. You simply will not listen to reason. God knows I&#8217;ve tried, internet, but you just won&#8217;t.

Now (finally!) we&#8217;re starting to collect Dave&#8217;s old and new work on a website, which is officially being launched&#8230; right now!

The photographer is apparently Italian. I don&#8217;t know Italian, so I have no explanation. But you have to admire his&#8230; something. Sense of color coordination? Maybe that&#8217;s it.
