		<description><![CDATA[Daniel,  
 
I really like yours, it&#039;s just right. It&#039;s really arresting; as I look at it, I hear the words of Hillary, an evil rasp of a whisper, as she told the Dad at his son&#039;s funeral that the regime will get that person who made that video. This picture reveals the lie. Lurking, smiling, the destroyer seeking whom he may devour.  
 
The Devil despises the Virgin Mary.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I took a look at most of the art that&#039;s linked in this column, and much to my non-surprise, it&#039;s all disposable rubbish, incontestable junk,  and pretentious  artsy-fartsy crap that any trained chimpanzee could produce on a $1,000 spending spree in Lowe&#039;s to assemble the tools and the &quot;medium.&quot; It&#039;s the same non- and anti-objective anti-art that is produced by alleged artists who get NEA grants and &quot;fellowships&quot; from the likes of the MacArthur and Guggenheim Foundations and other private cultural outfits. The art, however, reflects the &quot;vision&quot; of our Mideast policymakers: abstract, incomprehensible, and in defiance of reality.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;The New York Times reported in 2009 that Art in Embassies spends about $4.5 million a year for permanent art acquisitions; chief curator Virginia Shore said at the time that artists and dealers support the program via favorable pricing; for the embassy in Beijing, an outlay of $800,000 yielded works with an appraised value of $30 million.&quot; 
 
Oh come now. I&#039;m sure this came out of NASA&#039;s budget anyway, so we&#039;ll just test the improvements in self-esteem to see if that mission was accomplished.  And besides, even if NASA only wasted money elsewhere on revisionism about Islam, isn&#039;t the implicit policy of 0&#039;Bama&#039;s administration to put Muslim self-esteem and religious feelings above all else both domestically and globally? Paying for guns, planes and ammunition would only help that when we give those things to Egypt or other &quot;peaceful&quot; 0&#039;Bama buddies. ]]></description>
