They failed. Somebody in the future will find their bones and try to figure out what kind of diet they had, meanwhile we’d better figure out how to move forward without them.</p>http://paolo.valdemarin.com/post/2058070597http://paolo.valdemarin.com/post/2058070597Wed, 01 Dec 2010 00:19:06 -0800<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="711" data="http://www.flickr.com/apps/video/stewart.swf?v=71377" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"> <param name="flashvars" value="intl_lang=en-us&photo_secret=bb5af16d7f&photo_id=5172013075" /><param name="movie" value="http://www.flickr.com/apps/video/stewart.swf?v=71377" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.flickr.com/apps/video/stewart.swf?v=71377" bgcolor="#000000" allowfullscreen="true" flashvars="intl_lang=en-us&photo_secret=bb5af16d7f&photo_id=5172013075" height="711" width="400"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>Went to the San Francisco Cartoon Art Museum museum last night, to see Economist political cartoonist Kevin “Kal” Kallaugher’s <a href="http://cartoonart.org/2010/11/drawn-from-the-economist-the-editorial-art-of-kal/">exhibition</a>.
