Now don't tell me the wonderful paintings on your profile are not your work but produced in Communist China :-)

What do you think about the marketing of the phony "art student" schlock? I can see, maybe, selling it to rubes in NYC and other major cities but out here in the heartland people are more sophisticated than that.

The speed with which those found with fake visas and fake green cards after 9/11 were deported suggests the fix was in somewhere.

My profile page is blank at the moment, I've been forced to look around for new photo-hosting.

Sounds like sales patter to me. I've heard worse. Furthermore I have a background in high-end retail and I will freely admit I've SAID worse myself.

Anyway, even some of the rubes in NYC believe that the giant-sofa-size painting they bought for $75 at the "Starving Artists" sale out at the Newark Hilton really is the work of an artist down on his luck, and not the end product of an assembly line. Go figure.

Fast and slow are relative terms. I will have to read both articles before deciding whether anyone was deported "speedily" or not, and as I said, today ain't the time. My presence is absolutely required out in the three-dimensional world today, and I have to leave soon.
