A great free idea to the WaPo!
The internets are already having all kinds of fun with the Washington Post's new masthead slogan which made its debut tonight in the WaPo's website...
There are already all kinds of theories, opinions and thoughts, ranging from the numerologists' views of "three D's", to loads of funny memes, to another anti-Trumpian effort by the newspaper once dubbed Pradva on the Potomac during the halcyon days of Communism.
However, my good bud and Cuban-American peeps Jeff, who owns the WaPo, tells me that the new slogan is something that iconic reporter Bob Woodward apparently says all the time... cough, cough...
Regardless, in my highly informed and immensely brilliant opinion, the whole thing looks (notice I said "looks") a little kitschy to me... in fact a bit fortune cookie type.
Therein lies the brilliance of what can happen next! And here's my suggestion to the WaPo, intelligently inspired by my fortune cookie analogy: Change the slogan every day!
Then it would really be like a fortune cookie, but because it comes from the WaPo, it would be more serious... cough, cough.
Furthermore, there are no coincidences, and Donald Lau, America's top fortune cookie writer, has just retired after 30 years of fortune cookie writing!
WaPo!
Do not waste this opportunity! Contact Mr. Lau immediately, and entice him with a nice salary to un-retire and come write new slogans for the WaPo! If he declines, make him a one-year offer that he can't refuse, with a mentoring clause, so that he can mentor and train a couple of young, enterprising new slogan writers.
We want Lau! We want Lau! We want Lau!

Program Description
The Hyattsville Community Development Corporation had released a Call for Artists’ designs to transform select traffic signal cabinets in Prince George’s County into public artworks representative of community identity and character. Traffic signal cabinets – the grey metal structures located at every signalized intersection – are vulnerable to graffiti and vandalism. This project will utilize a public art application to address community blight and enhance the visual landscape. Artist designs will be printed on vinyl and wrapped around 11 traffic box cabinets in Prince George’s County, focusing on boxes located in the county’s T.N.I. (Transforming Neighborhoods Initiative) communities This project is made possible through funding from the Prince George’s County Executive Community Partnership Grant and the support of Prince George’s Department of Public Works & Transportation.Sunday, February 19, 2017
A 2004 friend
I always wonder how artwork travels around - I think that this proof sold in New York City around 2006... and then yesterday I get this email:
Dear Mr. Campello. I was fortunate to find one of your prints at an
estate sale here in Florida. I really like the print and was wondering
what the numbers on the back mean. Would you be so kind as to explain
them to me. It would be appreciated. As you can tell, I am a novice at
this and am trying to learn. I have attached a photos of the front and
back of the print. Thank you so much for any information you can
provide me.
