Art used to represent mankind's highest aspirations. Today, it represents the lowest.
Most recent examples include a German artist, prize-winning Gregor Schneider, who
is
actively
searching for a volunteer willing to die for his - that is, Schneider's
- art.
Another example: a controversial artist is accused of
chaining up an emaciated dog and starving it to death "in
the name of art." One man's art is another man's murder, as shown by a series of
sickening videos posted on the net showing a man who claims to have deliberately
infected thousands of women with AIDS.
Not to be outdone, "Basic Instinct" director Paul Verhoeven will say that Jesus
was probably the son of Mary and a Roman soldier who raped her during the Jewish
uprising in Galilee. This will be part and parcel of
Verhoeven's upcoming biography of Jesus. Jesus.
Gee, I'm feeling awful dirty. How about we skip to all the unreported
Good News:
Ben Stein's new movie,
Expelled, the pro-intelligent design documentary,
made
history as it opened last week as the widest and one of the most commercially
successful releases for any documentary film. Take that, Michael Moore!
Brazil discovered what could be two of the world's three biggest oil fields
in the past thirty years. Large enough to help the Western Hemisphere's reliance
on Middle East crude. Whoa, baby.
Speaking of the Middle East, a good indicator of how well the war in Iraq is going:
Mike Werner, chairman of C3 has been sold
a 50-year lease on a 50-acre swath of land which sits adjacent
to the Green Zone. Disneyland is coming to Baghdad. Bet you didn't hear that reported
by the old media.
Speaking of media silence, did you know that, despite suffering 4,000 deaths in
Iraq, annual
military causalities overall during the first six years
of the Bush administration are well below the average for the 26-year period starting
in 1980?
South Carolina Senate passed a
public prayer bill. Backlash grows
against the housing bailout and best of all, the
ax could fall on as many as 30 editorial people
in the New York Times first-ever firing of journalists in its 156-year history.
Gee, that must mean the gray lady isn't immune from market forces. Hmmm.
Schadenfreude:
House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, is fond of pandering to the religious crowd by quoting
a particular passage of scripture. This passage, however, is
nowhere to be found in the Bible and is "fictional" according
to biblical scholars. (For government school attendees, this means she deliberately
misused the Bible in order to fool people.) For shame.
It turns out that Father Earth, Algore, used a
computer generated image from the 2004 science fiction blockbuster
"The Day After Tomorrow" in his
"Inconvenient Truth" movie. For
all those that are attending government schools, this means the famous shots of
the supposed Antarctic ice shelves in Gore's film are fake. Much like his whole
message. As
further verified by more and more scientists warning of a coming ice-age.
Even Greenpeace founder Patrick Moore says
there is no proof of man-made global warming.
Meanwhile, useful idiots continue to use the manufactured crisis to further their
own pet agendas. Picture Paul McCartney. He's out there
urging the world to go vegetarian in order to fight global
warming.
Logical people have long been aware that global warming is just a (very successful)
tool used to fight evil capitalism. Once in a while the truth actually tumbles out,
which is what happened at the U.N., when
Bolivia's leader called for ending capitalism to save the
planet. Oops. Speaking of:
Oops:
Algore is
ducking and weaving as more and more people are wising up
to the fact that the very real food crisis, which is starving people in countries
less fortunate than ours, has been caused by enviro-idiots who are responsible for
food being made into ethanol instead of feeding a hungry world. That's more than
an oops, that borders on criminal murder.
Imagine: Food riots have
erupted around the world. Five people died in Haiti, probably
the first of many casualties to result from being 'green.' Riots also broke out
in Egypt, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Senegal and Ethiopia. Pakistan and Thailand have
had to deploy their military to protect fields and warehouses. In America, we're
merely experiencing huge food price increases, with several large food retailers
starting to limit sales of rice. Thank-you, AlGore.
More oops as it turns out that Obama's official
fundraiser is tied to the Islamic terrorist group, Hamas.
The Obama campaign quietly removed the offending terrorist from its official website.
Same thing happened to the Obama campaign's
official blogger, Sam Graham-Felson when it was revealed
that Sam has written for a socialist magazine, hung a communist flag in his home
and is a fan of Marx. Both have since vanished down the old memory hole.
Essential Trivia:
New York internet shoppers take note: sales-free Internet shopping
will end in five weeks, thanks to rewritten state rules
that force Internet retailers to collect sales tax.
AT&T warns
that without substantial investment in network infrastructure, the Internet will
run out of bandwidth in just two short years. Speaking of warnings, Americans should
take note of Britain. They're suffering from a
"why bother" economy because its benefits culture, high
taxes and poor education system leave many people lacking the motivation or capability
to succeed.
In keeping with my desire to leave you with a smile on your face, I'm including
a somewhat racy joke, courtesy of contributing editor, CaptBob:
After a relaxing bath, Monica Lewinsky was looking at herself, nude in a mirror.
Her frustration over her lack of ability to lose weight, was
depressing her. In an act of desperation, she decided to call on God for help.
"God, If you take away my love handles, I'll devote my life to you," she prayed.
And just like that, her ears fell off.
Till next Monday,
