Tornado in downtown Atlanta for the first time on record, March 14th 2008 at 9:45pm
The Dalai Lama has an office in Atlanta, at Emory University since being offered a position there last Spring. March 14 of course, was the same day rioting broke out in Lhasa, the Tibetan capital.
"If you read the headlines, the papers, the news, you know that our most hallowed institutions have been shamed by scandals that started with a violation of the public trust.
So this is happening everywhere, not just art, so our respected institutions of art and culture should not be immune from becoming whorehouses...
Maybe the priests were always sucking altar boy dick. Maybe Babe Ruth and Willie Mays popped pills. Maybe museums have always been a money laundering fence for the pretentious wealthy. But there has always been shame as a tool that society uses to police those who shatter our collective social agreements for their own vanity and gain." - Matt Gleason, aka Coagula
