Biden: Close Talker. Obama: Not Showing Enough Deference to the VP. Urbaniak: FTW

This uppity Obama photo discussion is very funny and... interesting, but I'm not so sure Andrew Sullivan or Pareene have made the connection that the exacto wit behind the awesome, day-old "Analyze Glenn Reynolds's Body Language blog" is none other than indie film phenom James Urbaniak, whom many know for his amusing digressions on his defiantly antiquated livejournal blog, and still others for his long, revealing interview with Gothamist in 2007, just before he decamped to Hollywood to audition for robot commercials 24/7, leaving him ample time to pursue his calling as an obscure political satirist. Funny thing about that Gothamist interview; they actually unchained me from the laptop to do that one in person, which has become an incredibly rare thing. (Charlie Kaufman yes, Peter Sarsgaard no.) Urbaniak and I talked for an hour at that cafe on Broadway and Mercer (I think) with the bathroom downstairs. I later spent probably three or four hours transcribing and editing the fucker; all in all an unheard of amount of time by today's standards. Anyway, at the end of the conversation I thought Urbaniak and I might become pals, occasionally meeting for coffee and idiosyncratic chats about Richard Foreman and Venture Bros. Then he just split town. Some people will do anything to isolate themselves from any meaningful friendship, I guess.

All people deserve good life time and loan or just secured loan can make it much better. Just because people's freedom is based on money state.

Arina: Yes, thats very true. Our goal at SK is to bring you the best and latest on our girl but there are sooo many pics of Keira out there, it isn't pssoible for us to have them all on the site. We urge our amazing viewers to help us with finding pics we don't have and you guys do such a wonderful job of that! But there is only two people running SK (Tathy and I) plus it cost a ton of money to get our hands on the pics. We've spent hundreds of our own money trying to make our gallery the best on the web and we hope it shows and you all enjoy it. Arina, you seem very interested in bringing us pics of Keira we are missing. If you have the time and would like to help us with the gallery, i'll give you my email and you can email me anything you find. We would greatly appreciate your help and passion! And credit will of course always be given!

one question has been pzlnuizg me since the shooting of mr. menezes. i'm not saying the police had any right to use lethal force, i'm not a judge nor an informed jury and i certainly fall on the side of protecting civil liberties *produces ACLU bust card from his wallet* but has anybody answered (or asked) this question: why was Menezes running from the police in the first place?
