--Douglas Milburn.

Anniversary Issue!
7 Years! 4,500 Pages!
250,000 Readers Per Month!
How has a crazy upstart online magazine from Texas with the word
"mysticism" above its logo and that publishes reams of Swiftian satire along
with beautiful multimedia stuff plus thoughtful cultural and political analysis plus
p----y achieved such success? Beats all git out, dudn't it?
PS, I Love You!
Jason Twinhaft is fed up with old-school film photographers putting down digital
cameras and their software. Result: a hymn of
praise for (ready?) Photoshop.
 MIND POISON
Our handy guide to what the problem is behind 5,000 years of "history"
and how to fix it. Complete with clip-n-save
pocket card.

x 40
Seven years of Magellan's Log, and somehow we've whittled our 22,000 images down to 40 photos. Enjoy.
Kulchur Kwotient No. 810
Amazing how many ways the staff can find to fiddle while Rome burns. Here, for example, is another of our absolutely worthless
little trivia quizzes.
Mysterious Barricades
Retinal relaxtion: a 300-year-old piece of harpsichord music plus 16 photos. Slideshow with mp3 (3:00).
Homophobia in the White House
Editor Doc Cuddy changes a few phrases in George Bush's anti-gay-marriage speech to reveal the depth of hatred, irrationality,
and prejudice hiding behind the president's words.

Publisher's Note:
 Against my
best money-making advice, staff members persist in occasional outbursts of what they refer
to as "p----y" (even they can't call it by name). I keep telling them: The
path to penury is paved with p----y. Do they listen? No. All I can do is alert
the unwary reader with the little death's head, which in this context means: Warning!
P----y Ahead!

Texas
Atonement
Looking ahead to 2009, Jerden Purmort envisions an act of contrition that Texans might undertake
as penance for having given the world not one, but two Bushes.
DADDY
According to H.B.
Kulup, it's always Father's Day, which, as Mr. K.
explains, is not necessary a fact worth celebrating.
What if, in past centuries, there had been in Internet site like Flickr, except it was not
for photography but for painting? Welcome to

C L A R I T Y
One person's clarity is another person's montages. Or even 70 montages, with an
aural overlay of Alkan's delightful, underplayed carnival of a dozen or so animals,
"The Festival of Aesop." Slideshow with
midi (9:05).
Rapunzel Redux
 A pianistic shaman from the
Ukraine
brings hope in troubled times. If your heart needs mending, or maybe a bit of potent
sustenance, we've got just the musical fixer-upper
for you from the fingers of Valentina Lisitsa...
 Hot Links 103
Yes, once again the staff has been fiddling while Rome burns, collecting sites where you too can waste time that
would be better spent trying to fix, well, America.
Invitation to an Illusion
Risking
future employment (see warning, below left), Ceci Lumley ventures forth with ten
lines of non-prose.
WHEREZIT?
 Test your knowledge of these United States
against that of our writers. We've got 19 photos
for you to figure out the location of (he-he).
