I have decided to become an artist. Above is my Etude #1: “Broccoli en Nastro Adesivo”. I am willing to part with it for one Million…Dollars US, or Euros – your choice. (N.B.: I am not selling the Broccoli itself – just the picture of it. I have already eaten the Broccoli – this approach is a first in the Art world.) We are cutting out the middlemen (the Sotheby’s, etc.) so you get a really low, low price. What? You think this is crazy? Have you read the news lately? That’s what’s crazy: *Don Jr. has been appointed to an advisory Board of a Drone company…because of his ‘expertise’. *The oncoming ‘administration’ says it is going to place tariffs on imported goods…to help reduce costs…*The tattooed and over-sexed guy who knows nothing about running an organization is about to be Secretary of Defense…*The man who is going to run our Health department is a vaccine denier and has other serious psychological problems, to say nothing about a worm having lived in his brain for a while. He also will get Fluoride out of our water – at last!…*The richest man in the world has bought himself a seat next to the next President of the U.S….he has twelve children with one wife and 2 partners and a big drug habit and might be in charge of everything for a while…*Vance will be one heartbeat away from the Presidency, which means Theissen will be one heartbeat away from the Presidency. *Pam Bondi could be our next attorney General…her big wins as a prosecutor were: Prosecuting the baseball player Dwight Gooden for violating his drug probation for substance abuse… and for taking a $25,000 illegal contribution to recuse herself from the Trump University case. Her first big-time sponsor was Sara Palin. *The oncoming President of the U.S. thinks Climate Change is a Hoax…he has taken millions (billions?) from the oil industry to help them keep their run going…*Almost all of the current Cabinet picks would not pass a Security Clearance check. So?… The onrushing U.S. President threatens to Pardon the Jan 6th convicted rioters…and he threatens ‘Retribution’ (Revenge) on all attorneys who worked on cases in which he was named as a defendant. So you think my asking 1,000,000 Dollars, or Euros for a photo of a piece of eaten Broccoli is crazy in these times?
Some quotes:
- “Whom the Gods would destroy, they first make mad..” -Attributed to Sophocles, “Antigone” 441 BC ( my question here is: Are the Gods in process of Destroying President Elect Trump, or are they trying to destroy me?)
- “Right to the end/Just like a friend/I tried to warn you somehow/You had your way/Now you must pay/I’m glad that you’re sorry now -Song, “Who’s Sorry Now?”, by Bert Kalmar & Harry Ruby, 1923
That’s a wrap…and a fond “Hello” to Jill…wherever you are…
