DAZZLED AND DISTRACTED
From a conscript in the Army of the Tireless, this photo "found while browsing" and caption for same:
Upon hearing of the ravages caused by hurricane Katrina, President George W. Bush went into immediate action.
He sends this reference, too: "Sans Commentaire, 'cept mebee......wa?" To which we say, "Oy" (Mayan for whoopeee!)
And from way Down Under: Emma Rodgers, of Articulate, writes: This is modern art?
Matthew Collings has issues with what he sees as the public's great charade of pretending to like modern art ... as if we're pretending we get it. I think he described it as a "faux love" or "pseudo interest."
Collings is the noted Brit broadcaster, author ("Blimey" and "It Hurts," etc.), presenter of Channel Four's Turner Prize news coverage, and -- we should have known -- an artist himself.
