Skeptical reaction meets Bush at UN

Despite an appearance before the General Assembly that was friendlier and more optimistic than any of his previous speeches to it, President George W. Bush still faces a skeptical crowd at the United Nations.
There was no burst of applause during Bush’s speech Tuesday, even when he talked about the world’s common struggles against poverty and disease. And the applause at the end was subdued.
This was in contrast to the warm, persistent applause that met his appearance shortly after the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
Before Bush spoke, Secretary General Kofi Annan gave a stern address warning that even the world’s most powerful countries must follow the rule of law, which many interpreted to be a rebuke of Bush’s actions in Iraq.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
