Tiger swallowtail. Coming up on two weeks since, and the arm is healing nicely. Jonesing for the monarch on the other forearm. Seems Underground Art has put the piece front and center in their portfolio. Nice work Paul, and thanx, I'll be back soon.

Now, about what Hugo said...I mean, metaphorically, I'm there. Bush can't really be the devil as there is no such thing. But it's certainly nice to hear someone with such a mouthpiece say it out loud, and so loud. And to be so poetic with the “smell of sulfur” thing. It's enlightening how critical American politicians are of Hugo's autocratic cult-of-personality style ledership—they are obviously very familiar with these characteristics, though silent when it's born of their own turf. I heard one commentator be quite on the mark by drawing a comparison between Hugo's rhetoric and Bush's. One from the left and one from the right doesn't mean they're not exactly the same. Of course, me being a leftist, I take it quite hard when a fellow comrade is stylistically equated to Bush despite the legitimacy of the observation. Then again, it is Hugo. That guy's a riot.
