White Box benefit
Aaarrrgh. I can’t help myself. I said I was going to try to concentrate on politics a bit less after the election, but I’m not succeeding.
OK. Here’s a non-politics post, except for the fact that White Box is one of the few non-profit art spaces that still has the nerve to do political shows.
We attended the benefit last night, and picked up some works by:
Michael Meads — We already had 3 photos by him. There’s an opening tonight for his new show at Nikolai Fine Art on West 22nd Street.

Corporate Media
This is an interesting page from the Media Reform Information Center.
Number of corporations controlling the vast majority of all news media:
I guess the Republicans are waiting until the number is one — and it’s Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News — to stop whining about the “liberal media”.

NYC turnout – record low
From the NY Times:
New York City registered what may be a record low in voter turnout on Tuesday, with an estimated 34.2 percent of registered voters casting their ballots. The last time city voters came out in similarly low numbers was in 1990, when 38 percent of registered voters voted. New York State may also have reached a new low with an estimated 40 percent of voters casting their ballots.

Another reason to ban religion
After the teacher-parent council decided to allow a Gay-Straight Alliance to meet at a high school in Boyd County, Kentucky, 420 of the school’s 990 students boycotted school.
Those 19 kids in the GSA are very brave.
Here’s a another nice bit:
The Rev. Tim York, a Baptist minister and president of the Boyd County Ministerial Association, said the association is planning a community rally against the gay-straight alliance on Sunday.
“The community is really upset,” York said about the alliance meeting in the school. “There’s a moral issue here that’s brought us to a place of discussion.”
That’s like all of the “religious” people in my home state of Arkansas who couldn’t be bothered to help all of the hungry or homeless people that needed help, but they couldn’t wait to protest restaurants serving alcohol, or “special rights for queers”.

Remain calm?
Two test positive for bubonic plaque.
They’re from New Mexico. Another reason not to visit “fly-over” country.
