I worked here for a while living in Virginia.
The $120 million Library of Congress National Audio-Visual Conservation Center consolidates audio-visual collections
from four states and the District of
Columbia into the world’s largest and
most comprehensive collection of moving
images and sound recordings.
The 415,000-sq.-ft. project involves
the adaptive reuse of a former Cold War

Mack: New Sayings from the Old West
Thanks to Mack Hall for letting me publish this.
New Sayings from the Old West
Cinema, like jazz, is an art form that originates in America, and America's optimistic view of herself is best shown in western films. Actors as different in their political views as John Wayne and Gregory Peck found common ground in their depictions of western heroes to demonstrate their love of country.
The shabby revisionist westerns of the 1960s are rightly ignored now, and new generations celebrate America and the themes of love, loyalty, and community with the great films of the 1930s, 40s, and 50s. A few lonely producers still make good western films (Broken Trail comes to mind) about imperfect men and women finding the best in themselves in hard times, and this gives us hope for the future of the art of film.
But imagine the dialogue in films had the good old movies been made as 1960's cynicism and anti-heroism:
"He'll do to ride the river with." / "He'll do to work out at the health and wellness center with."
"We all fought in the war, Colonel." / "We all protested America's evil, fascistic, imperial wars, you militaristic oppressor!"
"Gimme a beer, barkeep." / "Construct me a double-decaf-latte-cinnamon-swish, barista."
"Whatever else the young man is, he's a fine judge of horseflesh." / "Whatever else the young person is, they're a fine judge of postwar Bulgarian existentialist cinema."
"Outlaws!" / "Marginalized and dispossessed agricultural workers with revisionist attitudes towards property rights!"
"Injuns!" / "Native Americans with anger-management issues!"
"Cantankerous old mule!" / "Quasi-domesticated quadrupedal service animal!"
"Senor, we have the finest baths between Mexico City and New Orleans." / "Senor, we feature an exclusive half-day spa experience with all-natural scented candles, a licensed masseur, and a complimentary selection of herbal teas."
"Circle the wagons!" / "Valet parking!"
"Boots and saddles!" / "Designer flip-flops and Corinthian leather seats!"
"She's a purty little filly." / "She just filed sexism charges on me."
"Fill your hand, you (ess of a bee)!" / "I'm referring this confrontation to the arbitrator for resolution."
"They've holed up in that old church at the end of the street." / "They've sought refuge in Swami Abbub's ashram on HeatherWood Lane."
"I'm ridin' shotgun." / "I'm ridin' pepper spray."
"Your fault. My fault. Nobody's fault. If that boy gets hurt I'm gonna kill you." / "Free to be you and me."
"Check your guns at the edge of town." / "Kindly switch off all cell 'phones and other electronic devices."
"I need a grubstake." / "I'm giving you this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to invest in gold."
"Sorry, son, that leg's got to come off." / "But because of the medical lawsuits I have to leave you alone and let you die."
"Ol' Doc Boone's a drunk." / "Senor citizen Doctor Boone suffers chemical-dependence issues."
"Ain't nothin' prettier than the desert cactus in bloom in early spring." / "Did you remember my allergy medications?"
"Hank, where are your spurs?" / "Hank, where are the keys to your Toyota?"
"Hand over that strongbox or we'll shoot." / "Hand over those pretty shoes with the checkmark on 'em or we'll shoot."
"All aboard for Lordsburg!" / "But first we have to wand all of you and strip-search Grandma."
"Bugler, sound the charge." / "Bugler, twitter Washington for permission for us to defend ourselves."
"Chester, I'm going over to the Longbranch Saloon." / "Chester, I'm off for my two o'clock encounter group."
And finally, an old cowboy, a figure perhaps of John Wayne, rides with his son to a ridge overlooking a valley:
"Son, see that old Spanish church? Someday, someone will bulldoze it flat and replace it with a mosque. And over there where those deer are grazing will be a mucho grande gas station selling made-in-China western souvenirs. The trailer park will be over there where those 100-year-old cacti are now, and a motel will cover the Indian burial grounds. The Old West is passing."
"Dad, where will they put the shopping mall? I need a new pair of knee-pants, and a tee-shirt with somebody else's name on it, and the new Monster-Kill-Kill game."

Mack: If they told the truth...
Thanks to Mack Hall for letting me post this!
If They Told Us the Truth…
You are not a valued customer.
Your telephone call is not important to us; if it were, a human would be talking to you.
This is just a few ounces of coffee pretending to be a pound. We don't give a hamster's heinie about the poor farmers who grow it; we just stick on labels about "green" and "fair trade" and charge you more so you can feel good about being sensitive and ecological and, like, y'know, stuff.
We at (name of tractor company goes here) don't make the name-brand tee-shirts and plastic cups and all that other junk you buy; we make tractors. Chinese companies, all ultimately controlled by the Red Chinese Army, pay us to use our name on their shoddy wares so you can wear a funny-looking hat and identify with a corporation that wouldn't care squash about you if it even knew you existed.
Well, yeah, we can paint one of our cars green for you. Otherwise, there ain't no green cars. Cars are four-wheeled machines that run on gasoline or electricity. Some are more efficient that others.
I'm not really the doctor of democracy; I dropped out of college, avoided military service, didn't vote until I was in my thirties, and got away with doctor-shopping prescription drugs because I'm rich. And I got rich telling you how to live. You know, if you think about it, and you won't, the only difference between me and the coffee shop windbag know-it-all is that I pass gas on the radio instead of at the front table.
This organic material is not farm fresh. You bought it out of a store. It was brought to the store in a truck. It was stored somewhere before that. It was shipped to that somewhere from a processing plant. It spent some time in a processing plant. It was shipped to the processing plant from where it was harvested or slaughtered. We print this lie all the time, you know it's a lie, and you aren't offended by the lie. Curious.
Nothing in this café or store was homemade. A café or store is not a home. If you want something homemade, go home and make it.
Made in China by underpaid workers who have no rights, no safety protection, no health insurance, no nothin'. Hey, we're the folks who poison your pets and your children, and you keep buying from us.
We guarantee (that there is a three-dimensional object in this box you're buying from us. Whether or not it is useful, aesthetically pleasing, or well-made has nothing to do with us.).
Unlimited usage (until you reach the limit).
Faster than dial-up (except when it isn't).
You pay us to wear our advertising, demonstrating that you have no sense of self. We love it. In a sane world we would pay you to wear our advertising, and your friends would pity you for doing so.
Our product has a low carbon footprint. Come to think of it, nothing on this planet actually has a carbon footprint at all. How dumb are you to believe our advertising about low carbon footprints, huh?
News alert – which is only the same stuff we've been telling you all week.
I have no intention of changing the culture in Washington. If you elect me, I will become inside-the-beltway just like everyone else who goes there. Now buy my book, don't do any critical thinking, be true believers, assemble in large groups to chant and wave, and feed my ego with your adoration.
It's the must-see movie of the year – and if we tell you that you must see it, you must obey.
User-friendly – hahahahahahahahhahahahahaaaaaaaa!
