George Bush VS Picasso

Nobody Flashes

Have you SEEN the self-portrait that X-President George W. Bush painted of himself? Well,  some guy who calls himself Guccifer hacked into the Bush’s emails and found these two very interesting self-portraits. Obviously, the President…is trying to tell future historians that either (1. He can’t take enough baths to cleanse himself of all his sins, or (2 He wants to be the first President to show that no matter how powerful one man becomes, he still has to take a bath. (3…The parts he most admires about himself are his back and feet or (4. He wants Laura to know how very lonely he is. And if you have read me, I have said before, I don’t think Laura and Bush live together anymore. Just like the Clinton’s, they do their events together, act all lovey, and then go their separate ways. But unlike Bill Clinton, George W. is miserable without Laura. I could be very wrong…but…

While many people admire his painting ability, I find it almost…sad.

But that’s just me. On the other hand, we can all compare it to Picasso’s self-portrait…(One that is NOT pornographic, because Picasso did a lot of those.) and I think I would prefer the bathtub, if I had to pick one to hang on my wall…how about you?

Nobody’s Perfect: The Empty Chair VS the Pregnant Woman

Nobody’s Perfect

Art…we are told its in the eye of the beholder. Here we see two comparisons of the latest art projects, one suggested…one actually implemented.

FIRST: Damien Hirst, who seems to think that pregnant women look the best just before giving birth, has set his statue in the lovely town of Devon…and not everyone is happy about it:(Notice his own excitement!)

Hundreds of residents looked with a mixture of emotions today after a sculpture of a huge, naked, heavily pregnant woman with a sword arrived in their seaside town on a flatbed trailer.

It was their first glimpse of the controversial 70ft tall statue by Damien Hirst which has stirred up controversy since he announced plans earlier this year to “loan” it to Ilfracombe, Devon, until 2032.

A report to the council said objectors considered the statue to be “outrageous, immoral, bizarre, obscene, offensive, disgusting, distasteful, embarrassing, grotesque, disrespectful, insensitive, inappropriate, a monstrosity, tasteless, ugly, vulgar and not in good taste”.

Evidently she is standing on a bunch of legal books, so what does the artist mean? Woman should be the arbitrators of the law because they bear the children, and so if not obeyed they will take a sword to your head?

SECOND: This artist wants to put a replica of Obama, on Mt. Rushmore. And being the creative guy that he is, he has suggested…the empty chair.

What do we get from this symbolism? And most importantly, can it be done?

The good news is: I would suspect that many in America would object just as strongly as their Devon counterparts to this obscene gesture placed next to our greatest Presidents, Obama not being one of them.

Nobody Suggests —the two artists get together and set that mother down on that empty chair, pushing her sword with both hands through that great monstrosity called ‘Obamacare’ …which is lying at her feet. And put THAT statue right front of some Catholic maternity ward.

What? Did you think I was going to point out that Obama’s first debate was not nearly as perfect as he can do…but just about as bad as it could be?

Uh…I just did…in my own artistic way!
