Drawing Babar: Early Drafts and Watercolors at the Morgan Library
Freeing the Elephants
Some left-wing critics have read in the Babar story an implicit endorsement of the civilizing effects of French colonialism.
Here's a New Yorker slide show, a NY Times slide show, and a NY Times review of the exhibit at the Morgan Library.

The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2007
ILLUSTRATION: Christoph Niemann
Is more, or less regulation needed on Wall St.? In the long run it won’t matter what the American public is thinks about this. Wall St. will need stronger regulations if the rest of the world is going to trust our financial products enough to buy them. (Is this free-market capitalism at work?) More info on the wonders of deregulation here.
And here is another roll call on Sen Gramm's bill for deregulation, or as he calls it "Act to enhance competition in the financial services industry."
(The Community Reinvestment Act was in effect for 30 years without causing any problems whatsoever. It was not until mortgage brokers, realizing how much money could be made by making home loans, bundling and selling them, and avoiding the risk of holding them, began making loans to anyone with a pulse and even to some without one.)
This idea of faulting the CRA originated in the anti-regulation wing of the far right, and the goal is to blame government intervention for the current economic meltdown, and to score political points by blaming Democrats.

10 Things Editorial Anonymous Hates About Your Web Portfolio
Like Editorial Anonymous, I’ve searched for several illustrators online, and found nothing. Now I’ve forgotten their names.
I think I’m going to post a list of talented, website-less illustrators. Suggestions?
