oh i’m sorry, i thought we lived in america
what the fuck country is this? i wasn't aware that we had sacrificed the freedom of expression along with everything else in the name of national security. i mean, isn't that what art is for? to evoke emotion? apparently that's no longer acceptable. i would love to find out who the idiot that threatened to take the artist to jail was and on what grounds he was basing his threat. boo to the art gallery (in new york of all places) for caving and closing the entire exhibit - stand up to the man you losers, you don't have to roll over just because they're bigger than you.
read this too, that is, unless you voted for bush and don't want to know what's really going on in the world:
(a little hint: this whole iraq thing goes back a lot farther than when osama and sadaam pulled off 9/11 together, so does iran, so does israel/palestine, and so does afghanistan. why don't you ask your government what made them think that they could install a government in iraq when it didn't work for them anywhere else?)

I must say, I have to agree. It’s all a bunch of bullshit. We’ll never truly be free. They just tell us that we have more freedom than others and expect us to think we’re perfect. America is a bunch of bullshit. You made an excellent point.

You can email Chelsea Market at info@chelseamarket.com. I found that email address at thisisnotover.com (tagline: We’re liberal as hell and we’re not going to take it anymore!)

I can’t get thisisnotover to load completely, so I’ll post my question about the Turn Your Back On Bush protest (the third post down) here: won’t the police find out, and apply some sort of loyalty test at the barricades? I know I could never say, “No, honest, I’m a good patriotic born-again army-worshipping American who just wants to cheer her duly elected president” without barfing on the nice patrolman’s shoes.
I will be protesting the inauguration somehow. Go to gaudynight.blogspot.com to vote on how I should do it.
