The quintessential #OWS sign

The #OWS movement, in a nutshell (and the use of the word “nutshell” was purely intentional.) Yeah, we gotta spend more money to “educate” this nitwit so he can make a better sign demanding more money to “educate” this nitwit…

  • Hay ASSHOLE! You could always get a job and pay for your own art schooling! That way you can feel really proud that you paid to get your useless degree all by your big self…..

  • Then he should go back to painting dirty words on abandoned buildings. From the looks of his penmanship sucks and hes probably one of those graduates of an alternative high school where all they did was fingerprint to get a GED.

  • Sign Should say... "This sign would be better if I had any inherent talent!.... That no amount of tax payer funding can ever create."

  • I absolutely HATE the idea that taxpayers should fund ANY artist. I believe there are a lot of politics involved, plus a lot of snobbery and cronyism. Why should taxpayers pay, in essence, to promote the careers of some artists over others? Make your own *&@% career! I believe liberals, as a whole, are in charge of choosing artists to promote - and I think they do it more on a political basis rather than talent. I also believe that if you are a conservative artist, your chances of being "chosen" are quite small - close to 0. Visit my website at http://www.mtartbyrebecca.com. I've made my own career - no thanks to government funding! Also, you can join Montana Conservative Artists on Facebook - it's time we were heard from - enough of the government-funded "art" (read - propaganda)!

    • Your work is excellent, Rebecca. You seem to have an interest in nature. To me too much liberal art today is dark and not that good. A lot of liberal art seems to attack and not uplift. They are free to do this in a free country of course, but it irritates me when they take tax money and dip a crucifix in a vat of urine and call it art. I like Pablo Picasso's quote on bad art vs. good art:"Some painters transform the sun into a yellow spot, others transform a yellow spot into the sun."

  • What was the idiot on the right playing? CO2 drums? These people have deserved the title of being bottom feeding sewer spawn. I hope we don't have to put up with this crap till the elections end. I would hope that if "O" is behind this shit then it would hurt his reelection bid. NO flip-flopping Obamacare Romney. NO amnesty open border anchor baby loving ponzi Perry. YES---CAIN 2012...

  • Ummm, yeah his "argument" is so persuasive... we gotta "fund" a bunch of government garbage programs to create "art" (when the hell did making a sign become "art"?) no one gives a damn to see. This is sound Leftist policy - it's how we got the Chevy Volt!

  • Well, he could soak it in a bucket of Urine...or even better, just wipe it along side one of the soiled cop cars...that would improve it greatly! Oh, and hey...I gave you that idea with not a single dime from the National Endowment for the Arts.
