Tonight, on Animal Planet,"Hilly Billy Hand Fishin".
Skipper Bivins, the star of this show, is an extremely likable guy, and the show is a hoot!
What I have learned from only the first show, is that the trick is to walk along the banks of the creeks , rivers, and lakes, sticking your foot into each and every hole that is discovered in the murky water, attempting to lure whatever is lurking in there out with the tasty sight of your foot.
Once it takes the bait,(!), you stick your arm down there to bring the fish up.
So I guess that if the debt increase had been 'rubber stamped', without any scrutiny or regard to the nation's future,
everything would magically have turned out fine for us?
Tonight on Animal Planet, Hill Billy Hand Fishin'. Watch the experts noodle!
Here's the magnet I will be passing out at this year's Dragon*Con to promote my animated short that's in the 2011 Independent Film Festival. Look for them around the tables.
30 years of American manned space exploration ended today, and I don't know when it will start up again.
So...I created this cartoon, playing off the cliche' 'will work for food' signs, and also playing off NASA Administrator Charles Bolden's quote from an interview in 2010, talking about what President Obama wanted from him:
"When I became the NASA administrator -- or before I became the NASA administrator -- he charged me with three things. One was he wanted me to help re-inspire children to want to get into science and math, he wanted me to expand our international relationships, and third, and perhaps foremost, he wanted me to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science ... and math and engineering,"
So...now America has her thumb out, pointing to the heavens, asking..." Can you spare a lift?"
