Short for Student art, Stuart is a social network for young artists created by ad guy/art collector extraordinaire, Charles Saatchi.

MySpace for the young, aspiring artist-type...pretty cool.

- Set the DVR's to Colbert and O'Reilly on January 18th, because they both should be pretty interesting.
- Heard of Little Mosque on the Prarie? Looks pretty good. Wonder if they'll do any Danish cartoon jokes.
- What's the phrase? Every time a white girl dies, a Fox News reporter gets its wings? Something like that.
- Hey, an article on the whereabouts of the Griswold Kids. Now that's a great idea. Rings a bell, though.
