Los Angeles-based artist Victoria Reynolds creates strangely beautiful paintings of meat of every variety. From undulating waves of bovine musculature to delicately speckled pimento loaf...

One of the side effects of the rise of Obama and accompanying Obamamania is the newly pervasive use of the word, 'look' to start any sentence, regardless of the contextual irrelevance of that word to the rest of the statement. Its frequent misuse by the man who gets more public...

What is going on in the event world? How many cancellations can we hear about without thinking that the economy is really going to tank? Its one thing for GM or AIG to cancel their events, but take a moment to Google canceled holiday parties nyc and read..."Companies axe holiday...

At the height of the Monica Lewinsky scandal, an Australian observer wrote this letter to the Sydney Morning Herald: "Thank God we got the convicts and they got the Puritans."
