Gospel Kitsch – or Kitsch Gospel
My son (who writes this magazine with me) has both a greater appreciation of Art and of the Gospels. He can point out yard art in rural America that qualifies for kitsch.

Letterman on Bush, McCain, Palin, and Clinton

Art, Craft, Capitalism, and Pirating

Goofy Hillary Clinton Video
Son,
The Clinton campaign has this horrible video. I don’t know who made it but it has all of this upbeat music and people dancing against the backdrop of war and global warming and homelessness.
