A NEW REALITY

The New Paradigm: Radiation Is Good For You

By Elizabeth C.

THE DISASTER AT THE FUKUSHIMA DAIICHI NUCLEAR PLANT HAS POISONED MY APPETITE FOR POINTLESS BLATHER ABOUT CELEBRITIES. Who can care about Mariah's contractions or BritBrit's "hella hot" performance in San Francisco when you have to fret about radiation in U.S. rainwater?

I guess I haven't yet gotten used to the new paradigm: radiation is good for us! At least that's the latest according to conservative Ann Coulter. She can be so blithe: all she'll leave to the world are mad rantings having never bore children. Maybe that's her revenge: making us all think radiation is a good thing. Or, at least, our inevitable future.

Which brings me to Cristabel Christo's artwork above. Entitled "Murky Business," the piece captures in contamination Gothic the blending of two realities. Her art "illustrates extreme mental states, unconventional ideas and elaborate fantasy worlds."

Excuse me while I get used to the new reality.
