      Capitol Annex’s Robert Rauschenberg Challenge
      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.

      The foot of Mary's church on the Capitol Rome
      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. At the foot of the steps is a 'marvel' unseen for centuries, an ancient apartment house or insula of the first century A.D. brought

      The Senator's Palace Rome Capitol
      Today, the Senator's Palace resting upon the Record Office of two thousand years ago is the city hall of Rome. The Forum and the Palatine are venerable shrines, but empty of modern life save for tourists and workmen busy returning to the light more remnants of the ancient city. But on the Capitol the gold and purple city flag still flies above the Palace staircase when the council is in session an

      The Capitol was the head of the world
      The medieval mind could play all the more freely with the Capitol because destruction had overtaken it so completely; its very disasters afforded a clear field for fancy. By the middle of the twelfth century the typical medieval description of the Capitol in its glory appeared in the Mirabilia urbis Romae, the standard guidebook to the pagan as well as the Christian 'marvels of Rome'. The entire h

      The Capitol Rome
      'This hill with its leafy crown,' wrote Vergil of the Capitol two thousand years ago. '. . . is a god's home: my Arcadians believe they have looked on Jove himself, while his right hand shook the darkening aegis and summoned the storm clouds.' It is a little hill, this, to have been a great god's home and to have ruled the world. Its highest peak is about 168 feet above the plain at its western fo

Second, on a trial basis, we’ve lifted the requirement that readers be registered and logged in to comment on Capitol Annex.

      Capitol presorvation, the overlooked part of trading
      Capital preservation is one of the most important things to consider when you are trading. You may have a system that works, but if you lost all your money on 1 trade you cannot make money with your system. This is probably one of the most overlooked aspects of trading. The market can be very volatile at times. No matter how good of a trader you are the market will always give you surprises. A 200 point down day in the S&P can be followed by 300 point gain in the S&P. It can be stressful for someone trying to time the market. It is for this reason that many people believe that you cannot time the market. They believe buying and holding a corporation is the only way to actually make money in the stock market. In fact there is actually a theory out their called the Efficient Market

      Is Hillary Clinton part of an elite New World Order cult on Capitol Hill?
      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

      Murder Capitol?
      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

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.

      Capitol Hill: Don't Dare Ask Us To Write The Word God!
      Capitol Hill regularly honors citizens for their service with flags flown over the Capitol complete with a letter of authenticity and personal inscription. However when Andrew Larochelle requested one for his grandfather, he was in for a surprise. It was requested by Andrew that the certificate of authenticity accompanying the flag read: This flag was flown in honor of Marcel Larochelle, my grandfather, for his dedication and love of God, country and family. Apparently this was too much to ask from a congress where the Democratic Party reigns with majority. The Architect's office, citing its own rules, returned the certificate with "God" omitted.The word "God" is carved into the walls of both chambers of Congress. In addition, The Architect as the custodian of the Capitol currently maintains several religious symbols in the building. Yet apparently it not politically correct to write it upon the request of a citizen.On Thursday, Rep. Michael Turner (R-OH) demanded that Capitol

One issue that's got our attention about Blackwater is the firm's ability to leapfrog a number of much older and well-established US firms in Iraq. And that's got us interested in Prince's Republican political credentials.Along those lines, a few details about Prince to help frame tomorrow's hearing.Erik Prince is 37 years old. He founded Blackwater in 1997 with money he inherited from his father, Edgar Prince, the head of Prince Automative. The elder Prince and his wife were major Republican and conservative activists and funders. And Prince himself co-founded The Family Research Council with Gary Bauer and apparently provided the key early funding for the group.According to Bauer, "I can say without hesitation that, without Ed and Elsa and their wonderful children, there simply would not be a Family Research Council."Prince's sister, Bet

      In a hand-written flyer fresh off the copy machine, the Arizona Capitol Times announced a keg party to mark the departure of longtime editor, Karen Fullenwider. The flyers were distributed around the Capitol building and being passed out by staffers overheard saying “Dude, keg party Friday, be there.”Additional copies of the invitation were seen being run off by House and Senate interns on various copy machines. The flyer states that the Capitol Times is hosting a “Little fiesta to say ‘adios’ to Karen.”Karen Fullenwider recently announced her resignation from the Arizona Capitol Times citing concerns over the growing number of social events hosted by the publication. Dolan Media, the new owner of the Arizona Capitol Times responded to her allegations saying, “Karen just doesn’t really know how to party.”Kegs, chips, and dip will be served at the event.

      Photographers looking for new ways to ignore the Capitol Executive Tower
      The Arizona State Capitol building and its copper dome topped with “Winged Victory” has long stood as a proud Arizona landmark since its completion in 1900. The Capitol Executive Tower that looms behind the copper dome has a tradition of its own: being avoided in pictures.After many years of taking pictures of the historic State Capitol building from different angles to avoid including the tower in the shot, photographers are exploring new and creative methods for keeping the unattractive building out of the frame.“In this day of digital imaging and modern cameras,” said Todd Phillips, a graphic designer and photographer, “There is no limit to the ways we can avoid that ugly thing. I provide images for local politicians, lobbyists, business groups, you name it, and I always hear the same thing: Dome – yes. Tower – no.”“I like to Photoshop a playful puppy in front of the tower,” explained Madeline Soenso, “People are willing to suspend belief about the existence of

      Chingy Signs With Def Jam; Speaks Out Against Capitol
      Chingy Signs With Def Jam; Speaks Out Against CapitolChingy has signed a new deal with Island Def Jam and will release his new album "Hate It Or Love It" before the end of 2007.The new deal and Chingy's rejuvenated media exposure is a result of reconciling with Ludacris and the DTP camp. After a bitter split from DTP following his debut album, Chingy reconciled with the camp at last year's Billboard Music Awards. "Our reconciliation started last year at the Billboard Awards in Las Vegas," Chingy tells Billboard.com. " The whole situation was a misunderstanding because no one ever really talked [it] through. And as the days went on, it got worse. So, we settled it all at the Billboard Awards and left all of the differences in that room."Chingy is also speaking out against his former record label Capitol. "I don't think Capitol really knew how to work urban artists," he says. "They're really stuck on pop and they didn't know how to market me. I ain't knocking them because that's w

      Nekkid at the Old Capitol: Say it isn't so, Ethel!
      By now y'all've heard about the sheriff's deputy who was treated to an exhibit -- but not of the museum variety -- by a Hollywood woman on the steps of the Old Capitol early this morning. If you don't know about it, click here.Now let's get something straight right here from the start: No matter what you may have heard to the contrary, it wasn't me. I ain't from Hollywood, and I dare anybody to ever accuse me of being from Broward County. That's a good way to make me really flippin' mad, that's for sure.You know, Tallahassee is not known for adult entertainment, thank goodness. That type of thing just doesn't have much of a market around these parts. We don't want it here. Still, though, folks who've lived here for a long time ain't likely to get all worked up about some gal from the southern end of the state shakin' her groove thang in public.That's probably because ...Click here to read more at Tallahassee.com and to post a comment

      Baltimore: Murder capitol of America and my new home
      [singlepic=29,150,240,,right] I suppose I should start out with a little back story as this is my first blog post about my life. Ten days ago I returned from a year and a half living in rural El Salvador. I initially went with Peace Corps but had a “falling out” with them. The bureaucracy wasn’t what I had expected and I wasn’t too sad to be disassociated with them. Before that happened though I met a certain young lady, namely Christine Carey from Spokane, Washington who was also part of the “falling out”. I’d go into the details of what happened if it weren’t so convoluted, bizarre, and infuriating that it could take up several posts on its own. Frankly, I’m also just tired of talking about it. The separation from Peace Corps would end up being for the best as I wasn’t particularly keen on spying for the state department anyway. Since Christine and I weren’t ready to go home we decided to stick around and do what we came to do...

Now I knew that the boss lady had ordered a LOT of stuff the week before vacation but it was way more than I expected.Box after box two coworkers and I unpacked boxes filled with office supplies, paint brushes, beads, pipe cleaners, games ... it sorta felt like Christmas!At lunch I came home to change clothes because I had already broken a good sweat. A quick peanut butter sandwich, a gulp of coke, my 100 bill bandanna tied around my head and zap I was back, hard at work.Why must I work? My hubby (the Mexican-nickname) laughs at me constantly because I tell him that my life has turned out a fluke. I'm not supposed to work! Lots of people say that but I know it. I was supposed to marry an extremely rich man and live my life sitting on my ass getting my nails done every other week, shopping every day, traveling a couple of times a month,

      The Saintly Capitol
      By Erik Hare The history of shenanigans in Saint Paul includes more than just the usual sleaze. As the capitol of the state, the legislature is another way that we can make our own fun. And they certainly do their part. There are many strange stories that come from Capitol Hill, but some of the most interesting include the Capitol itself. Twice it has nearly been taken away from us, but each time events conspired to save it. The first time was in 1857, before Minnesota was even a state. The Territorial Legislature governed an area that included Minnesota and the eastern part of the Dakotas. It was a wild place that was developing rapidly, and nearly everything was up for grabs. The town of Saint Peter was being laid out along the Minnesota River in the fertile land that would later give us the Jolly Green Giant. The streets of this frontier town were wide and grand because they had a bold idea – they would become the capitol. All they needed was for the legislatur

      Sen. Jim Webb(D-VA) Finally Admits he owned the gun his Aide Carried into the Capitol Building
      Back in March Sen. Jim Webb’s aide was arrested for carrying a weapon into the capitol building. Of course the senator denied giving his weapon to the aide. He also wouldn’t say whether the gun was his. Now he has admitted the gun was his. RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Sen. Jim Webb finally admitted he owns a gun that an aide was arrested for carrying into the U.S. Capitol complex in March. Webb previously had refused to say whether the gun was his, although his senior aide - Phillip Thompson - had told police the weapon belonged to the Democratic senator. “It’s my gun,” Webb told the Richmond Times-Dispatch in a recent interview. But how and why it was in Thompson’s possession remains unclear. Webb said he didn’t give the gun to Thompson, “nor did I ask him to do anything with it.” Thompson was arrested on an illegal handgun charge when he carried the loaded pistol and two loaded magazines in a briefcase into the Russell Senate office buil

      On Capitol Hill, a Warmer Climate for Biofuels - Washington PostExcerpt:"The energy bill now under consideration in the Senate would bring that horizon a lot closer for the ethanol industry. The proposal includes requirements that the use of biofuels -- part corn-based ethanol and part fuels made from other feedstocks -- climb to 36 billion gallons by 2022, more than six times the capacity of the nation's 115 ethanol refineries.While many other provisions of the energy package remain controversial, opposition to the biofuels mandate has all but evaporated in Congress, a situation that would have been almost unthinkable just a few years ago. And though environmental, industry and farming groups can point to numerous unresolved concerns about biofuels' effects and feasibility, the ethanol lobby has never been stronger."http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/06/14/AR2007061402089.html?hpid=topnews

      Capitol Hill Broadcasting NetworkHey everybody, I’m James Kotecki, a political commentator on the Capitol Hill Broadcasting Network. I want to thank Alex Hammer for allowing me to tell you about the site and how it’s contributing to Politics 2.0. CHBN.com is a video-sharing site specifically for political videos. It’s a place where politicians, candidates, lobbyists, interest groups, voters, and political geeks like me post videos for a politically-savvy audience, and to make sure their videos don’t get lost among Spanish soccer matches and lip-synching under-age girls. I believe that CHBN will become an important part of the political dialog in this country, so if you have a political video, sign up and upload it. Check out my videos on the site here. I’d recommend this one in particular.

      Taking Back the Capitol
      So… I went over to Take Back the Capitol! to check out what’s billed as a liberal grassroots video campaign to supposedly help the Democrats win next week. It’s an interesting video… no harm in watching it, but it doesn’t really say much. It’s a montage of a bunch of folks offering sound bites for a couple seconds saying things like they need to take back the capitol and get the Republicans out of power, with the obligatory comments about the evils of Iraq thrown in. If they’re trying to create buzz, or just get folks to vote based on sound bites, I guess it meets that purpose. If they’re looking to engage voters who want to spend a minute to look at facts… move right along, not much to see here. (this is a sponsored blog post)
