INFURIATING! NEA Seeks Artists to Push Obama’s Agenda!
and just to sweeten the deal, well make it sure its legal for you all; your finest hour is at hand; lets toast to Leni!
And if you think that my fear regarding the arts becoming a tool of the state is still unfounded, I leave you with a few statements made by the NEA to the art community participants on the conference call. This is just the beginning. This is the first telephone call of a brand new conversation. We are just now learning how to really bring this community together to speak with the government. What that looks like legally? bare with us as we learn the language so that we can speak to each other safely
Is the hair on your arms standing up yet?
no, because Im not surprised, but my skin is crawling.
