I keep getting outraged emails asking me if I have plans to protest over an alleged flagrant violation of the First Amendment. (see: Ailing City Museum Cancels Funky Furniture)

Nope. Not gonna do it.

Why? ‘Cause the news reports are becoming so innacurate it’s silly, folks. It’s like performance art – a giant game of telephone.

Before you try to shout me down, like many otherwise uninvolved artist/friends have, keep in mind the fundraiser was largely my responsibility so I might have at least a vague idea what’s up. Sure, I’m in the dark about some of the stuff that’s going on, I’m sure, but no one’s Constitutional Rights have been violated, of that I’m certain.

My neverending headache did make it onto my fave show, Countdown, last night:

And number one, the city museum of Washington, DC which has cancelled an exhibit called funky furniture. They thought it was supposed to depict furniture. In fact, it included a painting that was a takeoff on the masterpiece ìOlympiaî by the impressionist Manet that was a painting of President Bush naked. Need some wood?

Yeah, so that’s why I’ve been missing. Again.
