We're all familiar with some of the art inspired by Obama's campaign.

Shepard Fairey's iconic poster:

But the art has continued, for better or for worse, as President Obama has taken office.

So grab a beer and check out what all has cropped up since the election. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll kiss about 30 seconds goodbye...

Howdy, friends and neighbors all over the globe. Up here in Seattle, we have a prosaic little heat wave. Last data from SeaTac says 93F.

So, how do your neighbors up in the Pacific Northwest keep cool? Make the jump with me and find out...

A little cool, but this friendly cat/dog/significant other will keep me toasty enough.

The sweat is forming a pool big enough that it might qualify to be a named body of water.

This is so hard to write.

I composed fragments and bits driving in the car, on the way home from the vet. There's something cathartic about driving for me, and I’m rambling, not touching the thing I came here to write about.

Today I’m writing about a feline. A smaller, dilute calico, green eyed spitfire who was present and loving to the end. Trying her best to live, to love, to be who she was at the core of herself.

Follow me over the void to hear her amazing story.

A few nights ago, some buddies and I were discussing the merits of our various feline and canine friends, and the subject of pooties and bunnythumpers came up.

You may now be wondering, "What on earth is a bunnythumper, and why would a pootie want one?"

For a demonstration by one of my resident furry rulers follow us below the jump...

I have a nice little Sunday afternoon ritual. I make myself a nice cup of cocoa and visit a little blog called PostSecret.

PostSecret is an artistic adventure started three years ago by Frank Warren. He started out by slipping cards into books at local used book stores asking people to send in their secrets on postcards to his address. The idea is to send in a true secret that has never been told, and to express that secret artistically in the form of a postcard. Over the last few years, Frank has recieved thousands of secrets, and he posts a new set every Sunday on the PostSecret website.
