Radio host Rush Limbaugh has called for rioting at the democratic national convention in Denver. Can we start officially referring to him as ‘Mr. Jackass’? I think he needs to get back on the oxycodone. He’s been off his meds for too long now.

Yolo is the graphic design work of Manchester based designer Martin Fewell. I have posted his site and work before at my previous blog but is has since had a major overhaul and update that includes a lot more work than the last version of his site. Fewell had a stint at Tonic and The Designers Republic that enabled him with the experience of working for some large clients and gave him the opportunity to round out his resume with a number of skillsets. He is currently in the market for commissions and conveniently located in the U.K.
You can definitely see an influence from the infamous TDR in some of his work. I would have given my left arm to work with or for The Designers Republic. They were far and away one of my biggest influences when I started working in design.

Apparently someone wanted to run a little check up on Barack Obama. 2 State Dept. employees to be exact, who sneaked a peak at his passport records. Is that why the government was tapping our phones as well? To ‘sneak a peak’?

Leonard A. Lauder, the cosmetics executive and chairman of the Whitney Museum of American Art, said on Tuesday that his art foundation would give the museum $131 million, the biggest donation in the Whitney’s 77-year history. I come cheap. Just give me a million. Please.

Apparently it is perfectly legal to paint your car to look just like a police car so long as you aren’t impersonating a police officer. What? Wait a minute, wouldn’t painting your car…uh?
