Quick, does Taylor come before Polk, or vice-versa? Artist Justine Lai is painting herself having sex with each U.S. president. NSFW USA.

I await her Taft with shudders of anticipation.

[...] good friend Rob MacDougall points to painter Justine Lai’s series picturing herself having sex with past U.S. [...]

How. Strange. But I think we know what act the Clinton years will depict.
4 Tom // Mar 27, 2009 at 8:16 am

So…she likes older guys?

I’m not gay, but if I had to have sex with a guy, I’m f*ckin’ William Howard Taft. Trust-busting, civil service reform, strengthening the Interstate Commerce Commission, improving the performance of the postal service ‘n’ passing the 16th Amendment. Above all else, he’d be tons o’ fun!

I’m wondering if she works from models…

I wonder if she’s channeling Emily Chesley …

The New New

The Unit Upgrade
Mark Rayner’s latest is a funny in-joke for recovering Civilization addicts like myself. Related: uh-oh.

Liberal Arts Education or Sleep Aid, You Decide
I generally mistrust blogs whose every post is a list of stuff from elsewhere, but this is a nice (big) collection of history lectures you can watch online.

Did Alexander the Great Fight the Yeti?
As my man Head 58 says, “I don’t want to live in a world where he didn’t.“

Holden's History of the United States
At Hilobrow, for J. D. Salinger & Howard Zinn.

The Black Pyramids of Georgia
BLDGBLOG on messianic architecture, by way of Tama-Re, the Egyptian city built by an Afro-supremacist UFO cult in rural Georgia.

Sticky Meme
The always worthwhile Zunguzungu is on a Teddy Roosevelt kick of late. Here he goes looking for the origins of Teddy’s big stick.

Everything Was Open-Source, Once
This blog post at Attic #42 hits several of my sweet spots: telephone history, KGB surveillance, a plea for open-source technology, and a gripe about PDFs.

Secede, Suppress, Survive
Not especially funny as Onion articles go, but it actually could be a TV show: New Alternate Reality Series on Island Where South Won Civil War.

The Other KKK
Mystic anti-war boy scouts? Fascist futurist theosophists? What was up with the Kindred of the Kibbo Kift?

The Red Peril
Snarkout’s annual post is as keen as ever: an appreciation of Santa Claus Conquers the Martians becomes a link-happy history of literary invasions right back to Saki and Wells.
