Harmony Korine
This reminds me why I love this man and why I used to have his picture posted above my bed. Poor quality, yes, but worth watching.

The Man With Roots For Feet
Dede Koswara, an Indonesian man with a severe case of HPV (Human Papilloma Virus, the hottest new STD sweeping the country) began growing roots out of his appendages after cutting his knee when he was 15. The cutaneous horns are really massive amounts of keratin, but give Dede the appearance of being half-man, half-tree.
The wood-like warts were growing at a rate of five millimeters per month. Insects were nesting in the base of the growths. He had undergone surgery before, but the warts grew back faster because the cause had not been addressed. Finally, the chief dermatologist at the University of Maryland Medical Center took blood tests and biopsies of the growth, which determined the cause of his condition. Surgeries performed in Jakarta have brought Dede closer to his original self. He continues to receive treatment, including chemotherapy, to combat the virus.

Lou Doillon, Je t'aime
Lou Doillon defines sexy ugly. The offspring of French director Jacques Doillon and Jane Birkin, this lady was destined to be tres cool. Apparently she's an actress and a model. Whatever. Check out her denim collection at Lee Cooper.

Obamarama
Currently Obama has just shy of 100 votes to win the Presidential election. At youthquaker we are hopeful, but also shitting our collective pants like McCain will be in the next couple years as age continues to take its toll.
So with just 1 hour and 45 minutes until California polls close, GO FUCKING VOTE! If you already voted, check out CNN for full coverage.
And here's a quick voter guide:
President: Barack Obama
Prop 2: Yes
Prop 4: No
Prop 5: Yes
Prop 8: No
If you need more incentive to vote (you know, other than YOUR FUTURE & the future of the whole country!) Starbucks is giving away free coffee and Ben & Jerry's is giving away free cones with your "I voted" sticker.
