First photo of a person
"Boulevard du Temple", taken by Daguerre in late 1838 or early 1839 in Paris, was the first photograph of a person.
The image shows a busy street, but because exposure time was over ten minutes, the traffic was moving too much to appear.
The exception is the man at the bottom left, who stood still getting his boots polished long enough to show.
Tis a wedding ...
I presided over a wedding today for two friends I have known for a lot of years. In fact the bride was a very young looking 14 year-old (she looked ten if a day) when I met her ten years ago.
Having watched her grow up I was a bit shocked to see her getting married ... and I was pronouncing the marriage and signing the paperwork.
The site at Morrow Mountain State Park was wonderful and it warmed up just in time for the ceremony. The couple met at the RenFaire (both are on the professional circuit now) and the rest of us knew they'd be married years ago - she did as well but it took the groom a bit longer to realize it - so quite a few of we fellow RenFaire performers attended the wedding.
If you know anything about RenFaire performers you would not recognize us this day we actually could have passed to a group of bankers - so we really are good actors.
But the couple radiated as all couples do on their wedding day and all had a great time. And yes, there was one element to the day that showed we weren't really bankers - the pumpkin craving.
You read that correct ... pumpkin carving ... the couple had pumpkins for all guests to crave as they wished to take home.
I wish them well in their life together.
But dammnit, she is still that little 14 year old dressed in a tattered jester's costume with mud smudged on her face I first met!

Oops. they forgot Library records
With the wing-nuts howling and whispering (at the same time) that Obama was not born in the US and hoping you believe that horseshit here is his birth announcement in the Honolulu Advertiser published on August 13, 1961.
It is in the fourth grouping of birth announcement on the far left side of the page. Showing his birth on August 4, 1961 in the state of Hawaii, USA.

Don't Speak For Me Sarah Palin
*****
Don't speak for me Sarah Palin,
The truth is I do not like you.
My kid plays hocky,
And I wear lipstick,
But I'm a thinker,
And you're a dipstick.

Vote Flipping
Actual footage of a electronic voting machine 'flipping votes'.
They 'recalibrate' it on video and it still 'flips' votes.

And they want us to believe that they are counting the votes as they are cast?!
They are trying to steal another election, folks.
Not this time, buddy!
