and, NOT<\/strong> just most glorious photo, but most glorious photo – with the best timing !!<\/strong> <\/p>\n

just as we say a bitter-sweet good-bye to the old school Jersey Italian godfathers – anybody in BROOKLYN !! will tell you the – new bullies on the block – are the HASIDS, and the newest wave of gangsters – are the Russians.
\nlikewise on the small town – that is the web !!
\nthe ‘ultra-orthodox’ want to shut down the ‘internet’ – too much ‘schmutz’ !! and if you’ve ever been re-directed, to hardcore porn or fractured links – from our art world breaking news – you know (!!) it’s the Russians who are doing the URL hijacking !! and google messing !!<\/p>\n

though, like all battles – it gets complicated locally – because the ‘ultra orthodox’ are also dominating this week’s racy tabloid headlines with their in-bred sex crimes against their very own children, not to mention spawning last summer’s notorious – Butcher of Brooklyn !!
\ntalk about: have ‘schmutz’ will travel !!<\/p>\n

how bout: clean up your own ‘schmutz’ first, bye the way, that’s ‘filth’ to you who maybe don’t know, as in porn, not lint !! yiddish – such a glorious , not to mention w eloquent language, or what !!
\nbefore take censorship up to the next level. though yeah, for their part: the Russians could use some serious hipster etiquette training – before the web becomes – totally useless. <\/p>\n

. . . BUT BACK TO PAINT !!<\/strong> and 3 cheers for the art world !! now you know – why we love it !!<\/p>\n

MINT & SERF ANNOUNCE: that after weeks of negotiating, that as of MAY 21, 2012 – “we are now part of the PLUTONIUM PAINT COMPANY<\/a> . . . Plutonium Paint is an American Made high quality spray paint born and raised in DETROIT.” (!!)<\/p>\n

(p.s. DETROIT – been in the news, too this week !! that’s one of the “hollowed-out” urban cities in crisis – where MAYOR BLOOMBERG wants to mandate new immigrant entry, for at least 5 years – to re-vitalize the industrial wasteland, or something, pretty much along those lines. look it up – yourserf !!)<\/p>\n
