Someone should make a film out of P.J. O’Rourke’s “Parliament of Whores”, update it to include the Recovery and Reinvestment Act and then pitch it as a “horror” movie.

I went to Fox News to look for this story. I was greeted with the No.6 story (Megan Fox talks about Crazy Sex) and another story, “Bikini Battle for the Ages” with suggestive teaser pics.
Amen, indeed.
I won’t attempt to define what “art” is, since everyone seems to have a different take on it. But I do believe in Liberty, and this so-called “art” is nothing but License, which is an abuse of Liberty. To spend a single taxpayer dollar on it is a shame and a travesty.

that seems to total about 100 grand. so does that mean that the the other 987 billion are OK I think that % is outstanding. That 100 grand is certainly much less than a penny a person and I would be happy to send anyone a penny to ease their personal pain. Just post an address
Although I have an art background – generally I don’t think the taxpayers should fund the arts – outside of education. Whether it’s avant-garde art or opera. It’s it’s good then people will pay to see it. If it’s rubbish – as most of it unfortunately is – then why prop it up? Money should be spent on infrastructure, technology & education. Not entertainment. Why arts needs is less restrictions but no handouts. See Bruno – is it offensive/porn – maybe to some – but at least Sasha Baron Cohen doesn’t need handouts.

@John ryan: First of all John Ryan, the total of the bill was not $987 billion, though the cost does rise with borrowing.
Second, that’s $100,000 going to porn that isn’t going to help families impacted by the recession or children.
Do you have something against families and children?
Hey, was Barry’s mother auditioning for one of these stimulating jobs?
