1. If you like diagrams of political intrigue, check out Mark Lombardi's work

He was an artist who used to live in Houston before moving to NYC. He died in 2000 (hung himself just as his work was really gaining recognition). He drew charts that made "visual poetry out of dirty secrets".

In one drawing, "George W. Bush, Harken Energy and Jackson Stephens":

"James R. Bath appears in the upper lefthand corner of the 16 1/2" x 41" piece of paper. The spatial syntax of Lombardi's drawings—which map in elegantly visual terms the secret deals and suspect associations of financiers, politicians, corporations, and governments—dictates that the more densely lines ray out from a given node, the more deeply that figure is embroiled in the tale Lombardi tells. Thirteen lines originate with or point to James R. Bath, more than any other name presented. Among those linked to this obscure yet central character are George W. Bush, Jr., George H.W. Bush, Sr., Senator Lloyd Bentsen of Texas, Governor John B. Connally of Texas, Sheik Salim bin Laden of Saudi Arabia, and Sheik Salim's younger brother, Osama bin Laden."

I don't know if there's any mystery to his untimely death, but the amount of information he had amassed on the * family and their dealings around the world was staggering. His drawings are beautiful, too.

2. Great Graphic!

These interconnections show that the BFEE is no different from any other ethnic mob; the capos of this particular mob just happened to have ancestors who came over on the Mayflower, so some misguided Americans think this lends them an aura of respectability. The crimes of this particular mob have been more detrimental to the people of the world than those of all other ethnic mobs combined.
