Yeah buddy. He blocked me for being ‘Taliban-like’.
In this Sunday, Feb. 5, 2012 photo, Syrian rebels gather in an alley as they secure a demonstration in Idlib, Syria. President Bashar Assad’s government vowed Sunday to continue its crackdown on a nearly 11-month-old uprising that has become one of the deadliest of the Arab Spring. The graffiti above them on the wall above them, in Arabic, reads, “behave, stranger.”(AP Photo)
“Saying smart things + Being active in life and sharing it = Social success.”
Photographer Doug Rickard, the son of a retired preacher, traveled each and every alleyway and business loop in America through Google Street View for two solid years to collect these unintentional stills — a selection of 80 from over 15,000 — each with a mix of apathy and empathy Rickard describes as “the inverse of the American Dream.” His work bears witness to invisiblized strati, a fading visual American poetry, and inch after inch of the American hinterlands, paradoxically cocooned by progress, as seen by nine-dimensional mounted cameras on Google vans endlessly traversing the nation.
The most moving thing, perhaps, about Rickard’s lens is its pained acknowledgement that not one stone remains unturned, and the age of adventure has closed — hopefully, and quite wholly, to be replaced by something beyond the physical.

Is Palin trying to sabotage the GOP frontrunner?

The river irrigates Afghanistan’s richest crop, opium poppy, which is later refined into heroin. The illegal crop grown near the Helmand River accounts for the majority of the world’s heroin supply.
