It is beyond imagination that anyone could misconstrue the Soviet agitprop in Jay Carney's kitchen as an indication that White House Press Secretary Jay Carney and his wife somehow share the same ideas as the perpetrators of a brutal regime that starved its own citizens while the political elites lived in luxury, abused power, prosecuted the opposition, and ruled the country by means of executive orders.

Next, they would claim that that a neat stack of Chairman Mao's Little Red Books in Valery Jarrett's bathroom is not there merely to serve as an elegant accent to complement the shower curtains; or that the Black Panther Party insignia on Michelle Obama's pajamas isn't merely a bold decorative pattern; or that the black flag of holy Jihad in Huma Abedin's bedroom is somehow indicative of her sympathies towards the Muslim Brotherhood.

Following such flawed right-wing logic, one might even speculate that Saul Alinsky's books on Hillary Clinton's living room mean anything other than an effort to disguise an obscure dried spot that had mysteriously appeared on the coffee table in the last year of her husband's presidency.

According to you, I have to tell you, you have a very bad taste.

[lafinjack.livejournal.com]

Why is it not art?

Just because it's art, doesn't mean you have to like or approve of it.

[madam-shapo.livejournal.com]

As long as you approve it, I'm fine with it.

[lafinjack.livejournal.com]

Why do I need to approve anything?

[madam-shapo.livejournal.com]

You don't, but you are trying too hard.

[lafinjack.livejournal.com]

At what?

[madam-shapo.livejournal.com]

In making the poster an art.

[lafinjack.livejournal.com]

Why isn't it art?

[madam-shapo.livejournal.com]

Don't you think we are going in circles? For the same reason, as the picture I made during a boring meeting. Wait, maybe it is? can you appraise it if I send it to you?

[lafinjack.livejournal.com]

Sure, but I can tell you now, it's probably art.

[madam-shapo.livejournal.com]

I knew it! Your standard are pretty low!

[lafinjack.livejournal.com]

I never claimed to be a philistine.

[madam-shapo.livejournal.com]

You should work towards that, I think you'll enjoy the process.

[lafinjack.livejournal.com]

I've considered it, but it means I'm able to enjoy fewer things, so I didn't.

Look, it's not art because it was created during a time when something unconstitutional took place.

This is why all Americana-style art is deemed good or bad based on Supreme Court cases.

Not art:

Like what? Maybe you don't really enjoy those things, maybe it's just a mirage? Long time ago I thought getting drunk and stupid was a very enjoyable thing.

[lafinjack.livejournal.com]

Well, philistines can't enjoy fart jokes, for one.

[madam-shapo.livejournal.com]

That would a major loss. But they enjoy other things you can't enjoy now, I suppose.

[lafinjack.livejournal.com]

Why can't I enjoy both fart jokes AND British dry humor (possibly also about farts)?

[madam-shapo.livejournal.com]

Because they are opposite. I, personally, only enjoy Jewish jokes.
