KEN BROWN BIO:
It is high time for a survey of the absolutely unique
image world of filmmaker, photographer, cartoonist
and designer Ken Brown. A man who dons many
hats, Brown is perhaps best known for his peculiar
and distinctive postcards and other graphic products,
(wrapping paper, rubber stamps, t-shirts, etc.).
His first love and most abiding passion, however, is
film. In the late 60’s, Brown was the filmmaker for
the ultra-psychedelic Boston Tea Party light show,
producing Super-8mm works loaded with staggering
superimpositions and startling visual dimensions.
His subsequent short films have continued to mine
his deep fascination with American pop culture, the
quotidian world of home movies and the idiosyncratic
world of outsiders and visionary artists. Besides the
copious experimental films, animations and video
documentaries he has made over the years, Brown
has produced and directed dozens of short commissions
for MTV, VH-1, SESAME STREET, AMC and other
clients. These two programs will give an overview of
his prodigious output.

FUCKING IGNORANT CHRISTIANS

I AM PISSED AS HELL.








this man is a joke.

here we go again...this country has been dragged into the shitter by a bunch of

creationist
jesusist
"pro-life = anti-you-&-me-ist"
isolationist
waterboardingist
neocon
jingoist
anti-ecological
leavemygunalone
biblethumpers.

...and the candidates with the most foreign policy experience - Biden & Richardson - can't get arrested, when we are desperately in need of a statesmanwomanperson to repair the damage done by the last batch of pinheads.

i know lots of smart, progressive Christians who are NOT aligned with this guy, thank godiftherewasagodtothank. but once more, the voices of ignorance are gathering behind the issues of guns, god & gays while we sink deeper and deeper into third-rate nationhood.

remember boys & girls...we get the government we deserve. pleasepleaseplease let it not be (again) a person of Huckabee's ilk.

from: CK in OR:

If there were any doubts that Religious Right voters are still a powerful force in the Republican Party, Mike Huckabee's huge win in the Iowa Republican caucuses last night put them to rest.

Huckabee's friendly, folksy demeanor can distract attention from the disturbing fact that he and his backers essentially urged conservative evangelicals to vote for him based on his being the "right" kind of Christian.

That should make Americans very nervous.

Governor Huckabee has pledged to support every item on the Radical Right's wish list: a constitutional ban on abortion, a veto of legislation to protect gay and lesbian Americans from discrimination, support for a bill to keep federal courts from intervening when local officials violate the separation of church and state, and most importantly, a far-right Supreme Court.

When asked about what kind of justices Huckabee would appoint to the Supreme Court -- something CNN predicts the next president could get to do three or more times -- his answer was:

"I would want people who are in the spirit of Scalia. He's probably my hero in the Court."

That should make Americans even more nervous.

To find out more about what Mike Huckabee and the other Republican presidential candidates are saying about the Court, please visit www.TakeBackTheCourt.org.

And for more information on Huckabee and the Religious Right, see PFAW's report The Huckabee Surge: Why Religious Right Activists Like Mike and our Right Wing Watch Huckabee archive .

We hope that you stand with us in 2008 as we continue to expose and counter the Radical Right, and mobilize thousands of Americans to Take Back the Court.
