Following the Twitter tracks today from Another Bouncing Ball to This Is Tomorrow (two blogs with solid content both written and visual–both now blogrolled on the right), I found this arresting shot. The violence of the imagery and the lurid color of the photo caught me…what could it mean?

Reading the words painted on the sign to the right of the ape, I thought perhaps it meant destroy those hungry for death and people like Glenn Beck and W (and other neo-conservative hawks) flashed through my mind…

Destroy all monsters hungry for death

A picture of my new favorite blogger:

RADMAN, a blogger for Lifelounge

I’m not sure if Lifelounge is RAD’s personal blog or what, but there sure are some awesome photos of bygone RAD times. Here’s an example of a post entitled “When spandex karate was rad“. Wow.
