January 1. 2010:
For reason that I cannot recall I felt that hope had been mended and in
response I taped the poster (Lost Hope) back together. Maybe it was
only because I realized that I could have watched The Rachel Maddow Show on
MSNBC for quite some time, but thinking I had to pay extra for it, I had it
blocked. Until that time, I had heard of Liberal Media but had not
actually been privileged to the experience. It was a breath of fresh
air after enduring the fence sitting increasingly right leaning CNN coverage.
And Fox News? Well... no need to study that obvious right wing
propaganda machine. With the odd exception being, a smidgen of Glenn
Beck here and there, purely for the entertainment value.

Stages of Hope
(The election of Barack Obama as a sign of the times and the effect on
Hope.)
As a sign of the times, the election of Barack
Obama revived in me an all but dormant hope that sanity still lurked
somewhere in the shadows of a mad world. Through the Facebook photo album
"Stages of Hope" I use and
abuse the iconic Shepard Fairey Hope poster to express my own hopes as they
ebb and flow. Lately my hope in humanity's sanity has seen better days
and we'll see what the future brings. I can only hope...

Just one more...
The original Shepard Fairey Obama Hope Poster alongside the original
photo for which he got in copyright trouble. Precedent set, I use artistic
license and also choose to ignore copyright law doing what I please
as far as expressing my hope and the loss of it.
