Donald Trump has drawn ‘first blood’ in the search for his incoming administration's senior arts role - by tapping up Rambo legend Sylvester Stallone. Sources have told DailyMail.com the president-elect sees Hollywood icon Stallone as the perfect choice to make art great again.

National Endowment for the Arts needs to be defunded immediately. Why the heck are we having to supplement “the arts”? Why not supplement bubble gum and lamp posts?

I always think of art as sophisticated and classical...
Of course we're getting rid of the ...... division with the leaving of O & M.

Sometimes you have to kick people upstairs to keep other things from happening.

If we're going to have ANYBODY who oversees the National Endowment Of The Arts, it should be an expert on endowment.

Good, that means no more crucifixes in jars of urine masquerading as art, paid for with federal dollars.

Now that you mention lamp posts, we may be needing quite a few more to accommodate all those drained from the swamp.

“Cop Land” and “Rocky Balboa” were supposed to be pretty good, and he’s been in the director’s chair and behind the screenwriter’s desk for quite a few decent films.

During WWII, pro-our side movies were promoted and funded and were effective. Hollywood itself was for our side, not the other side.

Dolly would be a great choice ~ Dolly Parton has the résumé, and experience to get the job done ~ and everybody fears her because they are intimidated by her massive GunBoats! HA!
