LoBaido is awesome. I demand to know why this man isn't getting NEA money if Karen Finley still does.

I'm sure this art will have help being banned with help by the ACLU soon after somone complains that the American flag is offensive to them.

So far as I think Bush seeks justice over revenge, it sounds good to me.

The Left finds its artistic voice in the urine-saturated dribblings of Andres Serrano. The Right has found its own in the works of Scott LoBaido.

I know which I'd prefer hanging over the sofa in MY den.

Just the other day I read about some kook award-winning artist in Europe who is male, but dresses like a little girl.

Looks to me like today's artists need to be outlandish so they get the attention of the press.

That would be Christopher Lee. I can see that, but it's mostly the outfit.

To me it looks more like John Forsythe (Blake Carrington from the old Dynasty TV show).

Kinda strange, but better than a crucifix in a jar of urine. Or the Virgin covered with elephant dung...

Actually, I'd like to see more strange expressions of our point of view. Some of them will be just plain strange, but others may be really gripping.

One of the problems, of course, is that anybody who didn't hate the US, Christianity, orthodox Judaism, and just about anything else the left despises, had no venue to show anything, anywhere, anytime. Time for this to change.

They'll say since you can understand what it is that it really isn't art.
