"Artists need to make money to eat and to continue to make art. Artists used to rely on middlemen to collect their money on their behalf, thereby rendering themselves innocent of cash-handling in the public eye. Artists will now be coming straight to you (yes YOU, you who want their music, their films, their books) for their paychecks. Please welcome them. Please help them. Please do not make them feel badly about asking you directly for money.” -Amanda Palmer

File this one under totally creepy and weird.  Roland Burris has begun work on his memorial.

I wonder if he'll have room for "First Black appointed to US Senate by tainted Administration."

I hope I never have to refer to a scone in spoken conversation.

I assume that's a scale model.  The real one will require 10,000 laborers working for decades to construct from hand-hewn slabs of alabaster and black granite, and will contain the remains of his wives and attendants to ensure a swift journey for his ka.
