Arts and state

 

I’ll bet comic strip artist Cathy Guisewite hasn’t been to any tea parties lately. If she had been, her April 11 strip (as seen at ArcaMax Publishing) would have had a longer list than:

  • the wall street bunglers
  • the nasdaq knuckleheads
  • the oil company crooks
  • the mortgage company schnooks

But it’s OK. Her comic strips usually have more than enough words as it is.

 

Next thing you know, Hollywood is going to “coordinate” a message promoting marital fidelity — the straight, monogamous variety — in its movies and TV shows.

The above is the comment I posted in response to an article titled “Part II: Obama Controls Your Televison Set — Search and Ye Shall Find…Left-Wing Advocacy

 

I was concerned when I saw the lead headline on the Sunday Kalamazoo Gazette: “Can the arts community survive?” It’s an article about government funding for the arts.

Then I read more closely and realized that it did not say, “Can the arts survive?” Whew.
