1. Ripping a page from their NY sisters, the masked Guerrilla Girls, who dis, rail and expose sexism and corruption in the art world and beyond, a Russian Feminist punk collective, Pussy Riot, styling their fashion in brilliant colors, and signature masked balaclavas apparently went too far for the ruling Russkies with their anti Kremlin punk prayer and performance inside a cathedral in Moscow. Hauled off to jail in March, three members of Pussy Riot, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova 22, Maria Alyokhina 24, and Yekaterina Samutsevich 29 were charged with hooliganism. Whaaat? As the feeble bogus charge went viral, enraged groups started marshaling; flash mobs hit the streets and 'Free Pussy Riot'signs sprang up like weeds. Who knew balaclavas would suddenly be the rage of dissonance? Sentenced to two years in a penal colony, the three women are a reminder that artistic expression and gender can expose a glaring fundamental truth: sexism, political corruption, and gulags are alive and well. Fuck this. We will not forget. Power to the sisters!
2. Whatshisface...the congressman, a genuine piece of work, who called 'rape legitimate'....only a matter of time as recall petitions hit the 'net.
