Emotionally intense images of retired Philadelphia police captain Ray Lewis - who has joined the #OccupyWallStreet protests - being arrested by the NYPD.
Captain Lewis has been outspoken against the NYPD's wrongful use of violence against peaceful protesters.
From what I have seen, Ray Lewis' conduct defines honor, bravery, and dignity.
There is a media blackout on images of his participation in the protest, and on his arrest:
It's proved impossible for me to get this shot of former Philadelphia Police Cpt. Ray Lewis being arrested, published anywhere. I was adamantly rebuffed by the Philadelphia Inquirer, NYT, local NY papers, and Newsweek, before even looking at the photograph. One of the only published photos of this paradoxical and intense event is located here at the NYC Observer:

Make this viral and they will come.
Ray Lewis gets 2 posts this morning, because this needs to be seen. I'm not even sure why, but this pair of photos made me cry hysterically.
oh my god. so much props to this man. this country has turned into utter fucking insanity.
A brave man. A hero.

This is Pam.
Whenever there was a new STAR WARS movie, Lucas would (of course) release the action figures (and other toys) first. This gave nerds like myself some time to speculate as to who, say, Sio Bibble* was before seeing the movie. In an effort to recreate that magic, I'm going to post images of some characters from my new book. Some will be important characters whose lives will change dramatically by the end. Some will be background characters who do not have any dialogue.
Collect 'em all!
*Sio Bibble was an elderly governor of the planet Naboo. You can understand why they released his action figure before the movie came out because obviously no one bought one when they saw what a dull, unimportant character he was. Thanks, George!

Will religion play a role in the 2012 election?
The proof is in the pudding.

Sigh.
I hope Romney is the Republican's choice so we can have a Muslim/Mormon run-off!
