Somehow, last week, I missed that Robert Rauschenberg had passed away.
This, of course, got us to wondering if the Texas House (the same one that, in 1934, declared the writings of Lord Byron to be unfit for students at the University of Texas) has ever honored Rauschenberg with a proclamation as they do national championship football teams, war heroes, school teachers, and other worthy Texans.
Nowhere in Rome are the successive layers of time more clearly visible than at the foot of Mary's church on the Capitol. Here ancient, medieval, and renaissance Rome have met together; the pagan and the Christian world confront each other in the shadow of the present.

First and foremost, somehow we managed to accidentally turn off users’ ability to comment on posts some time back. We’re not sure how this happened, but we noticed it while trying to implement a new comment strategy here in the Annex.
Second, on a trial basis, we’ve lifted the requirement that readers be registered and logged in to comment on Capitol Annex. Hopefully, thanks to a CAPTCHA plugin (yes, that means those squiggly letters and numbers), we won’t be bombarded with spam comments. We’ll try this for a week and see how it goes.

About a month ago we reported that Capitol 1524 changed their signage to Rock Paper Scissors (RPS Life). Today, they made the news official on their blog. From here on out, Capitol 1524 is now known as RPS.

In the past couple of days, Barack Obama has endured a sustained attack against him for his friendship and association with Rev. Jeremiah Wright. His poll numbers seem to have gone down as the media has kept up a relentless barrage to tarnish Obama’s reputation. Two months ago, Barack was characterized as being unpatriotic for not holding his hand over his heart during the singing of the National Anthem, even although he was singing the words. Last month, the media depicted him as a Muslim wearing a turban in Africa. This month, they are pillorying him as a radical racist.Throughout it all, Hillary Clinton has been silent about Obama’s unfavorable faith connection. One wonders why.Rumors abound in Washington, that Hillary is part of a secret, elite, progressive faith group who acknowle

Looks like the new group of owners who took over Capitol 1524 back in October of 2007 will be renaming the store Rock Paper Scissors. Only speculation, but a good guess based on the following. The current web address, rpslife.com, forwards to the stores blog. So, I'm pretty sure they'll be rebranding the store and name. Secondly, the application of the RPS logo went up on the windows. Can we look forward to some in-house designs with the RPS name on future products? I like the direction these heads are going in. via protoculture
From AP via Fox NewsThe bloodiest city in the country in 2006, reeling from crime in its struggle to recover from Hurricane Katrina, got even worse in 2007.New Orleans registered 209 homicides last year, a nearly 30 percent increase from the 161 recorded in 2006.The FBI's rankings for 2007 will not be out until much later in the year, but New Orleans' population is thought to be 295,450, which would mean a rate of about 71 homicides per 100,000 people.Even the most generous population estimate in 2006 put the number of people in the city that year at 255,000. That meant a real homicide rate of 63.5 per 100,000 residents. To compare that number with some other notoriously bloody cities, the rate for Gary, Ind., was 48.3 and Detroit's was 47.1.The killings are drug-related or retaliatory for

Last week, we started our Holiday Book Guide series. This week, we’re returning with several selections we’d like to bring to your attention.
First and foremost this week, we want to highlight a book that is a great Christmas pick even though it won’t actually end up in your mailbox until next year (you can pre-order, though). That’s “Netroots Rising: How a Citizen Army Of Bloggers And Online Activists Is Changing American Politics” by Lowell Fields and Nate Wilcox.
[Disclaimer: Nate Wilcox is a friend, but we still wouldn’t hype his book if it sucked. Hey, we’ve got our standards. :)]
Check out this review of the book by none other than James Moore:
“Two histories are emerging for our country’s past decade. One is in the headlines and the network newscasts and it consistently misses the profound political changes washing over American democracy. Nate Wilcox and Lowell Feld, however, are leading thinkers in the gathering ar

The United States Capitol in Washington, D.C., is among the most architecturally impressive and symbolically important buildings in the world.

Someone is setting fires in bathrooms on Capitol Hill in a strange story that’s slowly starting to make it’s way into the news. Seven small fires have been set so far in a period of two months in Senate office buildings. Police are currently investigating the incidents.
If this story doesn’t end with the culprit being a mentally insane Larry Craig that’s trying to get revenge against politicians and bathrooms alike for the past few months of scandal in his life, I’m going to be very disappointed.

Capitol 1524 has been goin thru some changes as of late. They recently added a blog as well at http://www.capitol1524.com/blog. Read below as to what's new!A Fresh Start Many of you probably have noticed Capitol 1524 has been in an idle mode for the past couple of months. There have been a bunch of rumors surrounding the future of the store. Previously, Capitol 1524 was owned by Mark and Joe. Mark decided to step down and we wish him the best in his endeavors. Knowing Joe still has love for the sneaker game, Mark gave Joe the first opportunity to find a team to takeover the shop and bring it to the next level. We've already changed some things around the shop, with many more changes for the better to come. We celebrated the buyout of Capitol 1524 with the TAKEOVER Sale (40% off Nike/Jordan products and 50% off of everything else) which is still going on for our older inventory. There's still a bunch of dope kicks so come add to your collection before everything runs out!!! On

A recent story about the office of the Architect of the Capitol removing the word “God” from a certificate requested by a youth who had ordered the flag for his grandfather absolutely shocked me, and should shock every person of faith in this country! The program allows for people to order flags that have been flown over the Capitol building along with a Certificate of Authenticity with an inscription of your choice. 17-year old Paul Larochelle ordered a flag to present to his grandfather after he (Paul) had been inducted into the Eagle Scouts. The note that he had requested on the certificate was, “this flag was flown in honor of Marcel Larochelle, my grandfather, for his dedication and love of God, country and family.” The office of the Architect of the Capitol, who sends these flags out, removed the word “God” from this certificate.
