One of the stranger Christmas windows. The theme is great couples or something like that. Obama and Michele are in the window with Batman & Robin, Anthony & Cleopatra and I forget who else. I have to say, President Obama looks like a stand up comic.
One of the scare tactics that the people (mostly developers) in the group called Clean Gowanus Now! use to persuade the community to be against the EPA cleaning of the Gownanus Canal is to say there are no "funds" in the "superfund". Well I have news for you. President Obama announced today that in upcoming months billions of stimulus dollars are going to be released to create jobs and some of that money is going to be used for Superfund Projects. More reason than ever to want the EPA to clean the canal. "the Environmental Protection Agency will begin or accelerate the cleanup of 20 Superfund sites"
Friend Sabine Aronowsky was out in the streets of Brooklyn with her video camera this past election day. Her doc opens with coverage of Brooklyn Obama Supporters making phone calls on election eve at B.A.M and then hits the streets. Although Obama has won it's distressing to find out that there was only ONE voting machine working in Brownsville and people got the run around to carry out what is supposed to be a basic right and duty as a citizen!
The details:
