Invisible Art, Invisible Brains

If this turns out to be a hoax, I apologize.

What are these people looking at?

A 27-year-old New York artist has invented something called "invisible art" and she is making millions selling it to people who absolutely must have it. 

A documentary team from the Canadian Broadcasting radio network traveled to Lana Newstrom's empty studio to learn more about her art that isn't there. 
"Just because you can't see anything, doesn't mean I didn't put hours of work into creating a particular piece," Newstrom told the CBC.  "Art is about imagination and that is what my work demands of the people interacting with it. You have to imagine a painting or sculpture is in front of you." 
The most amusing aspect of the story is the image of snobby art collectors walking through an empty studio studiously staring at blank walls with track lighting properly illuminating the nothingness on display. Some of the art afficianados actually stop and soak in the lack of art that is not hanging on the blank wall and tilt their heads in a deeply thoughtful way as if to project their profound understanding of the message sent by the brilliant young artist and her stunning ability to not create anything.  
Newstrom's agent, who is undoubtedly raking in a nice commission by his client's ability to not do anything, says, "When she describes what you can't see, you begin to realize why one of her invisible works can fetch upwards of a million dollars."
This story was not, we repeat, not published in The Onion. 

I wish I had the funds to hire a polling firm to be there every hour the gallery is open, and be able to demand that every person who walks through the door submit to the questionnaire that I get to design.  There will be a string of non-threatening, innocuous questions.  Then there will be these questions:

(#) Would you support tax-payer funding for this art through the NEA?

(#) Of all the pieces you have viewed here today, which one had the most impact on you, and why? Please be very specific.

(#) What policital party or philosophy of government would you describe yourself as being most aligned with?  Again, be very specific.

They came to leave a message

They came to tell the rest of us what we have to do to clean up the planet.

They came to tell the rest of us how capitalism doesn't work, even though we haven't had free market capitalism in this country since about 1913.

They came to tell the rest of us how socialism and communism are the only way to make things better.

They left a monument for us to look at and remember how brave and wise they are for having told us what we all need to do.

What I'd like to do is mix up a huge batch of clear epoxy resin and pour it all over this stuff and let it harden, so that people will be able to see how much actions speak louder than words. 

Also, I'd like for the National Endowment for the Arts give me a few million dollars of the taxpayer's money for having created such an avante guarde piece of art for the public to enjoy.

College Students

I wish I had a transcript of the video that I am linking to on Brietbart.tv.  It's a video of college students who are members of the College Democrats Association giving their reasons why they are Democrats.  Some of the things they say are just flat out incorrect, such as, "we are a democracy, not a theocracy."  Proving that the government school indoctrination has worked on too many skulls full of mush.  Go watch that short video and then you'll understand my comments.

"No difference between a judge and a janitor."  Really?  Can a handful of janitors render decisions that fundamentally transform the country, rob you of your enumerated rights as declared in our Constitution, and turn you into a slave of the State?

I guess  I could have played it and paused it and wrote down all the things that were stupid and wrong, but there are only so many hours in the day, and I don't want to spend any of them screaming and tearing my hair out.

One quote just about shot me out of my chair:  "Government should take care of its citizens."

Red Curtain Of Blood falls across my eyes and steam starts shooting out of my ears.

No, no, no, no, no, you silly, imbecilic piece of bat guano. That's what the idiots in Cuba, North Korea, Venezuela, and other communist countries have fallen for.  The government that's big enough to give you everything is the government that's big enough to take every damned thing you have.  Go live in one of the above named countries, do a thorough study for your doctoral thesis on how those governments take care of every aspect of their citizens lives and then come back and tell us all about it.  Here.  I'll help you out by giving you this link to the latest news on North Korea.

Polls? I Should Care About Polls?

Thank you Mr. Dice for proving what I have suspected for many years now.  If Mr. Dice can go out and do this so easily, what does it say about what the dominant broadcast media say about what the public wants?

Why should I care about what most people want?

Watch this video, and if you have a few real brain cells to rub together, weep for America.
