Can’t have any more of those pictures of Mohammed floating around, now can we?

Guessing he will police the arts to keep them ‘socially acceptable’. or something like that.

Unbelievable.

And almost blind - guess he won’t know much about how to establish policy for the visual arts. Guess he can just say “if it offends 90 percent of Americans, it’s great art.”

“Dale, a partially-blind lawyer ...”

Well, he’s at least as qualified for the post as the other cabinet members are for theirs! /s

Kareem Dale, a partially-blind lawyer

In other words, somebody who can appreciate modern art.

Maybe we will be so lucky as to get state opera houses where The Marriage of Figaro is performed by an all nude cast wearing Nixon masks, just like what the German Minister of Culture pays for.

The symbolism is perfect, but due to political correctness cannot be pointed out by anyone in public!

Don’t worry. This does not concern those clinging to God and guns. This is for the new intillegencia. You know, the more privileged members of the ruling class.
