I’m a sucker for a pretty picture. Like this one, made by the guy who used to be Newsweek’s art critic:
![Peter Plagens: Paintings on Wood [Warschaw Gallery]](http://www.warschawgallery.com/images/plagens.jpg)
As you can see, he’s gonna be there to talk about stuff. I know the guy. So if any of you do show up at the gallery, tell him you saw this notice. It will impress him, I hope, and make him grateful.
Now here’s another picture:
This one is not so pretty, but I like it, too:
It was pointed out by the smart guy on my staff of thousands who’s been reading French media philosophe Jean Baudrillard and applying his simulacrum-of-reality theory to just about everything — democracy, Iraq, free speech, Frank Rich, David Brooks — but especially to the rules of political misdirection. The prose is a little turgid for my taste, but the rules are clear.
