But can he sing “what a fool believes”?
Everybody’s on about the portrait of buff boxing Jesus that appeared in this Sunday’s New York Times article by David Kirkpatrick. But I have to say I prefer smirking turtlenecked Jesus, looking here like a young Michael McDonald.
UPDATE: A reader writes in to exclaim that smirking turtlenecked Jesus has a mullet. I disagree-- He has too much hair on the sides for a proper mullet. For the full mullet effect I think we’ll have to wait until Stephen Sawyer gets around to painting Hockey-Playing Jesus.
American Airspace
As Putin rears his head and comes into the airspace of the United States of America, where-- where do they go?
Straight here. To this blog.
You are now in American Airspace.
Ginormous looming Putin head h/t.
