A pair of remarkable and creative people were brought to my attention this morning by another pair of remarkable and creative people.

• Jessica Hagy (linked by Tom)
• Catherine Austin Fitts (referred by Jon)

These discoveries map nicely to my passing interest in presentation graphics, my emerging project on US prisons and prisoners, and my emerging passionate desire to flush Hugh MacLeod, whose cartoon creativity is approaching zero, down a toilet with gallons and gallons of the swill he’s been selling (extra points if he hits the septic tank still clad in his hand tailored English suit) and to replace him in the blogtheon with someone good (like Hagy).
