Malia Obama's Birthday > America's Birthday

Barack and Michelle's baby girl turned 16 on July 4th. Imagine if Barack would've let MTV's My Super Sweet 16 film her party??! I can see it now: Sasha, flanked by secret service, twerks on the dance floor to Tyga's "Rack City," Justin Bieber makes a surprise appearance and tries to holler at Malia (he's denied, obvi), Biden, drunk out of his mind, keeps challenging underage high schoolers to a game of beer pong, and all the while Grandma Robinson sips on her "special drank" in the corner watching over the kids. Ratings goldmine!

A post about art

Here is an article on using protest finds and politically charged objects as part of a "rapid-response collecting" system in museums. Interesting idea to keep museums fresh for the collective short-term memory, but perhaps cheapens or waters down the purpose of housing art in official institutions? Can't we regard this stuff anywhere?

The Kara Walker Subtlety show this weekend was crazy for this. I don't think there was a person in there who wasn't taking photos, myself included.

Owen Lanahan, 15, of Portland, Ore., "watches videos" on his laptop and "texts his friends" under the bedcovers to hide his late-night activities, called masturbating, from his parents.
