This is one bureaucracy that needs to be done away with....immediately. I was surprised to see that Trump was considering someone to head this up - I thought he’d get rid of it in the blink of an eye.
Let Soros fund it.
LOL!
theater people can be really obtuse
Where’s PETA?
Since Sly Stallone turned down the job, maybe Red-Green could do it. I know he’s Canadian, but he knows Art.
PhDs and student loans for this nonsense! Really...cut the money off.

Public TV at least does some decent stuff. The other
night, a documentary was shown about the Korean War and
the horrible conditions of both the Chinese and American

mountains - toes freezing off, feet turning black from

The Chinese forces had it worse than the Americans; no
helmets, no warm clothing. - Public TV can also be a bit
loopy, too, sometimes.
The dog is having a blast. The sheep are confused but they are always confused. Are they supposed to be the audience?
