Thought for Today

"The finest works of art are precious, among other reasons, because they make it possible for us to know, if only imperfectly and for a little while, what it actually feels like to think subtly and feel nobly."

~~~~~ Aldous Huxley

Thought for Today

"Governmental aid is a drawback rather than an assistance, as, although it may facilitate in the routine of artistic production, it is an impediment to the development of true artistic genius."

~~~~~ John Philip Sousa

The Real Reason?

Turns out that the bust of Churchill that Obama so disdainfully returned to the British was sculptured by Sir Jacob Epstein – a Jew. So perhaps there was more to the Putz-in-Chief's actions than sympathy with his Mau-Mau grandfather who was arrested and interrogated by the British.

Suggestion: whichever Republican candidate wins the Presidency should ask the Brits if he (or she) could please borrow the bust for the length of his term so that it could be restored to its place of honor in the Oval Office. Each successor President should then renew the request before taking office.

Thought for Today

"Technology is a gift of God. After the gift of life it is perhaps the greatest of God's gifts. It is the mother of civilizations, of arts and of sciences."
