FROM THE NEW YORK POST: SATURDAY NOVEMBER 22 2008<\/p>\n

1. for those who like their Pirate movies raw, unscripted, in real time & about to really<\/em> explode, and of course unlike the blue chip auctions – truly contemporary !! – no diss to JOHNNY DEPP – the NEW YORK POST reports, via the TIMES OF LONDON – that . . . the war zone on the SOMALI COAST is heating up !!
\nas all kinds of “armed men” are descending on the country’s pirate coast, “raising fears that a battle is looming over millions of dollars of ransom cash<\/em> being demanded for the recently captured Saudi supertanker SIRIUS STAR.”
\np.s. love that name !! hey, didn’t I already read this scenario in comic book – decades ago !!
\nCORRUPT FUTURIST HI-TECH CIVILIZATION taken down by desert rats & 3rd world desperados.<\/p>\n

p.p.s. of course, artlovers just happens to have an artworld denizen stationed in the area, but JOSH HARRIS, PSEUDO.COM ex-millionaire & notorious downtown party thrower par extraordinaire – in ETHIOPIA – hasn’t been heard from – via the web – since the area really heated up, this week !! already MIA !! knowing Josh – he is: 1) either going down FINZI CONTINI style; or 2) following in the footsteps of that crazed maniac Marlon Brando played in APOCALYPSE, NOW !!; 3) he is the unwitting neighbor of a Bin Laden crew hide-out & is being held captive or; 4) the most likely – aliens have whisked him up to safety – choosing him as their no. 1 PRIORITY STARSHIP S.O.S. – over SCOTT HUG !!<\/p>\n

SERIOUSLY – usually a regular web correspondent – Last we heard from JOSH, more 2 weeks ago – he was telling us about Cal’s vampire death. ANDREW SMITH, recently back from visiting Josh in Ethiopia – says Josh was – “messing around in Ethopia’s national television system” – “trying to help them up-grade it.” !!
\nAndrew says, even then, just a few months back, if even that – he already felt “uncomfortable” walking in the ETHIOPIAN streets – but that Josh was completely “oblivious”.<\/p>\n

2. “An Astoria teenager was arrested after a straphanger snapped this cellphone photo (pictured) of him allegedly carving a graffiti tag on a subway window. Andrew Morello, 18, was allegedly etching the so-called ‘scratchiti’ into the glass of a N train window Monday when a rider took the picture.
\nThe witness sent the images to the NYPD’s new “e-tips” Crime Stoppers service. Cops used the pictures to help them identify and track down Morello, who was charged with criminal mischief and possession of graffiti instruments.”<\/p>\n

3. and finally, last, but NOT least. we dedicate this Post item, found on PAGE 3 !! – to:
\nRAQS MEDIA COLLECTIVE – who put out that super great PRINTED MATTER – ARTISTS & ACTIVISTS – PAMPHLET:
\n‘THE SURFACE OF EACH DAY: QUESTIONS FOR COSMONAUTS’ !!<\/p>\n

‘SPACE SPIDERS NOW WEB STARS’ !!<\/p>\n

“HOUSTON – Spiders flying as an educational project (guess they can’t say – ANIMAL TESTING – its too IPC!! in<\/em>politically correct) aboard the International Space Station seem to have the hang of weightlessness.
\nTheir first orbital webs were messy, disorganized affairs. But a week into their flight, television images beamed back to Earth showed surprising progress.
\n“We noticed the spider made a symmetrical web.” space station commander Mike Fincke told ground controllers yesterday. “We’re really amazed that the spider could adapt to space so quickly.” – REUTERS<\/em><\/p>\n
