May each of you have the heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute works that will leave the world a little better for your having been here. -- Ronald Reagan

National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) Get Stimulus Money to Stimulate

Ah yes, the stimulus package, Porkulas I. Supposed to stimulate the economy, which it hasn't; but part of the money is going to stimulate something. It's going to support "Thundercrack! "the world's only underground kinky art porno horror film, complete with four men, three women and a gorilla." Of course the "gay and lesbian film house," which showed "Thundercrack!" will get some stimulus bucks. Gotta support the "arts" don't ya know.

There is money going to support museums, orchestras, and the like; but tell me again how even this gins up the American Economic Engine? They are producing what, or providing what service?

Let's see, how else can we jump start the economy (six months later with no results so far)? Ah, here you go; San Francisco's CounterPULSE, has a "long-running pansexual performance series", and they invite you to "join your fellow pervs for some explicit, twisted fun." The name of this rollicking fun time, supported by printed or borrowed tax money, is called "Perverts Put Out".

NEA spokeswoman Victoria Hutter: "Our review process is very comprehensive — we take great care with applicants and with grantees." "It's a thorough, rigorous process that they all go through, and we're proud of the projects that we've been able to support."

So lets all take our kids to see the government supported "The Symmetry Project", which apparently Ms Hutter approves of, of a dance piece by choreographer Jess Curtis. The show depicts "the sharing of a central axis, [as] spine, mouth, genitals, face, and anus reveal their interconnectedness and centrality in embodied experience." I even have a hard time reading that!

I guess in the name of consistency this would be a parenting suggestion from a “well-trained and competent staff” member visiting your home under Section 440 of the ObamaCare bill. Maybe the competent staff member can get you a free pass to "The Symmetry Project"! It's government sponsored, just like the government visitors to your home to ensure you are using the latest cognitive, language, social, emotional, and motor domains…modeling, consulting, and coaching on parenting practices; [and] skills to raise your child.
