...perhaps understandable that we'd be so enflamed by the sight of women's nipples because we see them so rarely. Barbie dolls don't have nipples. Magazines routinely airbrush out nipples on fully clothed (but presumably chilly) models...
...these issues. "Sympathy and subtlety," notes Tom Murray of the Hastings Center for bioethics, "are seasonings rarely applied to political red meat." We have reached a point in our political discourse when candidates are punished less for flatly lying than for changing their minds. You can caricature your opponent, airbrush your record, come close to just making things up and suffer less than if you're caught with a belief that has evolved. The political term for flexible is flip-flopper...
...boxes - one intriguingly marked mug pop - and seven years after the artist's death, the betting is that his retrospective, "Howard Arkley," will be a winner. Arkley's 25-year career connected comic strips and Conceptualism, Surrealism and suburbia, punk rock and Postmodernism - all with the zip of his airbrush, blurring the line between rarefied art and popular taste in the process.

From his Zappo heads to his aborted 1985 exhibition of masked portraits to his fluoro rendition of the Prince of Darkness, Nick...
...Matts released a photo of him and former Minister Ann Widdecombe holding posters reading controlled immigration, not chaos and inhumanity. Unfortunately, in the original, he was holding a photo of a family of Malawian refugees, and her poster said let them stay. He had to apologize for his creative airbrush. Besting the traditional kissing of babies, the Liberal Democrats' leader, Charles Kennedy, produced one, his first son, Donald - and then proceeded to make sloppy campaign appearances in an admittedly sleep-deprived state. And when Prime Minister Tony Blair launched Labour's manifesto flanked by six Cabinet ministers all standing...
