Chinese Art



Sculpture by Chinese artist Chen Wenling entitled "What You See Might Not Be Real," and it's on display at a Beijing art gallery. The bull represents Wall Street. The man? It's jailed financier Bernard Madoff.

A guy was walking down the street talking to himself so someone gave him an old non-working cell phone to use. After that he seemed normal.

The Year With No Christmas Stamp?

Click on the 42 cent stamp above for a complete line of their current 44 cent stamps. You will find the usual stamps for Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, the Muslim Eid, but no Christmas. They have always had the "mother and child artwork" type in years past for the season but seems maybe not this year. Oh yes, they do have the winter holidays stamps of snowmen etc. I emailed the USPS over a week ago asking about this but so far have received no reply.
