This could get interesting.

While some people have calculated that it will be up to the super-delegates to decide the Democratic nominee (meaning it will be Hillary Clinton), it’s worth noting a little storm brewing on the horizon. A guy named Peter Paul is making a lot of noise about alleged illegalities during her first Senate run. And it goes to trial (or at least to discovery before trial) February 21st.

It’ll be interesting to see how much media play this gets…

Watch the video – some serious people make a pretty compelling case that Federal laws were broken. Will this make it to mainstream media? I haven’t researched it deeply, so I can’t attest to it’s veracity. You be the judge:

Inspired.

Not a lot of people know that I have a tattoo of an anchor on my right bicep with “Carol” & “Liam” emblazoned on a ribbon wrapping around it. It is an intentional reference to very traditional merchant marine tattoos, popularized by sailors to remember their loved ones. Norman Rockwell’s whimsical painting, showing a sailor editing his loved ones names, has always been on of my favourites. High art or not, it makes me smile and I think it may have been in part what led to my interest in traditional tattoos.

A Texas photographer recently shot a series of stills that were inspired by Rockwell’s work. He recreated that famous painting, but with a subtle modern touch. See the rest of his work at his site: randalford.com and read about the project. Brilliant.

Below is a series showing Rockwell’s photo that he used to create his painting; the painting “The Tattooist”; and Randal Ford’s Inspired version…
