Goya's black paintings
A collection of images of Goya's so-called "black paintings," which he painted al secco (i.e., fresco) style onto the walls of his private residence between 1820 and 1824 (he died in 1828). It seems likely that he never intended for anyone outside his very private circle (if indeed anyone other than himself) to see them. They're extremely disturbing, dark, surreal, and violent.
Goya | The Black Paintings (E.E. Weems)
A collection of images of Goya's so-called "black paintings," which he painted al secco (i.e., fresco) style onto the walls of his private residence between 1820 and 1824 (he died in 1828). It seems likely that he never intended for anyone outside his very private circle (if indeed anyone other than himself) to see them. They're extremely disturbing, dark, surreal, and violent. This site also has extensive resources (including high-quality, watermarked reproductions) for other parts of Goya's oeuvre.

Agog over Bush's comments on Gog and Magog - James A. Haught - The Charleston Gazette - West Virginia News and Sports
This article seems to have the best account I've seen yet of how the story broke -- first in a university publication in Lausanne in 2007 (in French), then in a couple of French opinion journals. Then the story was ignored. In 2009, a French journalist's memoir confirms the story, in the context of interview with Chirac. Then a few English-speaking outlets pick it up, but not many -- in fact, the Charleston Gazette appears to be the only mainstream U.S. outlet to mention it.

Religion News: Anti-faith, anti-government violence a toxic mix
"If we focus on the groups, we are going to miss the larger picture that the danger is not from the groups like the KKK or Aryan Nations ... but from individuals like von Brunn who act alone,"
Charles Blow, "Pitchforks and Pistols," The New York Times (April 3, 2009)
Charles Blow's take on the rage (and potential violence) of the increasingly marginalized right wing. "My read: They're apocalyptic. They feel isolated, angry, betrayed and besieged. And some of their 'leaders' seem to be trying to mold them into militias." Seems prescient after the Tiller murder and the Holocaust Museum shooting.
