What are they burning in the fire-place?!
I for one welcome the idea of a Kinkade / Wen Craven collaboration.

“He is, though secretly, and much like you could tell “Paul is Dead” because he was barefoot on the Abbey Road cover, you can tell Thomas Kinkade is dead from clues in this picture.”

When that picture is looked at with an eye for murder clues, even as a joke – that picture becomes one of the creepiest things I’ve ever seen.

In 2006 John Dandois, Media Arts Group executive, recounted a story that on one occasion (”about six years ago”) Kinkade became drunk at a Siegfried and Roy magic show in Las Vegas and began shouting “Codpiece! Codpiece!” at the performers. Eventually he was calmed by his mother.

Is it wrong that this makes me hate him a little less?

MB, I’ll have you know that my great grandfather was a member of the California Club.

That substitutes avocado for lettuce, right?

I swear, straight from Wikipedia:

“15th Century Florence” is George Will’s drag name.
That was funny, beyond question.

That one made me laugh, I admit it. But I just wonder if any self-respecting drag queen can get away with wearing a bow-tie.

Where, oh where are the conservative artists? Where is the Norman Rockwell of our time? The painter of Southern Justice (Murder in Mississippi) is no conservative. George Lincoln Rockwell, however, that's another story.

Didn’t Breitbart himself do some performance art on a restaurant balcony protesting the feeding of starving children?

A tantrum in response to a protest against child conscription in Africa, to be exact.

Speaking of right-wing art, I wonder what Al Capp would think if he were here today? He may have been a reactionary asshole, but I can’t help thinking he would have been too gifted, funny, and irreverent not to take potshots at today’s “conservatives”. If nothing else, the drafting “talents” of Tinsley, Muir, et al might be enough to push a genuine craftsman like him to the other side of the aisle.

Now, if the person on the phone had said “make art that supports Obama or it’s the Death Panels for you” there’d be a noteworthy story here … if Obama’s Organic Fair-Trade Death Panels™ were anything more than a feverish meat-dream cooked up by that smiling twit with the five-pound binder who made a fool of herself on the Daily Show.

Government encouraging artists funded by the government to support it with their talent is “juicing” them? We’re not funny anymore – & that’s funny?

Actually, I’m regularly shocked that anyone can say shit this stupid with a straight face. Well, at least until someone figures out what they’re putting in the water & comes up with an antidote.

I remember when this site was funny – now it is just cynical. Govt juicing artists to paint the government messages — no problems with that here at the funny site. Pimping the govt to keep kids doing tricks — yeah, that’s funny, too. None of these comments are really funny, or meant to be; they’re just cynicism dressed up like a joke. They are “we can’t be shocked — but it’s funny that you still can be” jokes. That’s funny.

aving American Flag + Eagle + Dallas Cowboys + Jesus + Fighter Jets + Marines in dress uniforms + Weeping terrorist attack victims + Cross + White family praying + Twin Towers + Map of America + Race cars + Rays of Sunlight through the clouds + Soldiers in BDUs handing bibles to an ignorant brown people = Wingnut Masterpiece

No hint necessary; working on it now. You’re welcome.

Where, oh where are the conservative artists? Where is the Norman Rockwell of our time? I imagine the conservatives of his time disowned him after The Problem We All Live With-- though it's possible that with common wingnut "thinking" they assumed the titular problem was the child herself.

justme’s O/T@21:28: Now that guy’s a brave soul.

Ten years from now, those teabag-tards will be held in the same low esteem with which we now regard the race-tards who screamed at little black children entering newly-integrated schools in Alabama in the 60s.
