Just updated a Flickr photoset called Hayward is Falling Apart, a little web space to chronicle decay in the neighborhood.

This mask is actually a vintage postcard. If you click the image and look at a larger version on Flickr, you can actually see the tiny eyeholes that allow the wearer to look through the card.

Move quick and download the last episode of This American Life. And by "last" I mean "most recent." It's a fantastic episode, collecting stories about the Bush Administration's hard-line tactics and how they're affecting even minor, presumably uncontroversial functions of government.

You'll hear about an international (US and Canadian) organization that protects the shared border coming under fire from White House lawyers when they ask a Washington couple to take down a wall that infringes on the border.

You'll also hear about Immigration Services attempting to kick widows and widowers out of the country because they didn't manage an interview with INS before their partners passed away... and it's because of INS's backlog that the interviews aren't scheduled fast enough.

These last eight years have seen a lot of damage done to this country and it's not just on big issues like international sovereignty, torture, and habeus corpus. We'll be dealing with trickle down hard-line behavior for quite awhile. Whoever inherits the Presidency next is crazy to accept the responsibility for cleaning up after the current administration. Best of luck to them.
