Salon Showcase 2012-W16

Hello blog readers.  Yes, there were teasers in last week's post, but first we have a wee milestone to cheer:  our 250th international view this week, from a Latvian we believe.  Hurrah!  That should do it for remarkable milestones until sometime after Labor Day, though it would be great to be proven wrong on that.

Item two concerns The Sketchbook Project 2012, for which Salon deWinchester furnished an entry.  The travelling exhibition will visit Chicago on May 3-5.  Details here: Sketchbook Project 2012 at Hyde Park Art Center.  Our book has call number 144.3-9.  Check it out... literally!

Finally, last week your blogmaster began a new series with Stupidoofus, inspired by the Faces of Evil series and also by classical Greco-roman mythology.  Just as the Ancients had names for the four major winds, this series presents four major blowhards.  These pundits barely get two words out of their mouth before provoking thoughts like "oh, shut your godforsaken pie hole".  (Or less polite versions thereof.)  Since the four are well known, only their mythical name is presented.  Please enjoy guessing who they are, and which of the four inspired the Blowhard series.
