Yep! This is exactly what you think it is.
It's a banana duct taped to a wall.
This piece of modern art sold recently for 125 million dollars!
Is this really who we are now?
In a world of such income inequality and poverty.
(In our city alone there are 11,000 + who are homeless)
It's a time when the current president has cut even more access to food stamps and S.N.A.P.
Are there really those among us with so much disposable income that it can justify this?
A big Fuzzy Hug and a bunch of Kitty Kisses to Nancy Pelosi's gutsy reply to a reporter.
A huge Sticky Paw to the supreme court.
If you still think we live in a democracy let me just burst that little bubble for you.
Yesterday SCOTUS decided to halt the Houses subpoena for Trumps tax records.
For now the subpoena is stayed but if the court decides to hear the argument formally and lets the ruling stand, that's a really big deal!
Not only would the D.O.J be politically inclined to be in Trump's pocket, but so would the highest court in this country.
A big fat Kitty Kiss to photographer and film maker, Lauren Greenfield
If you are really in need of a further dose of depression, just watch Lauren Greenfield's Generation Wealth then; ( see art above)
And lastly, a big Sticky Paw to how emotionally vacant we have become:
A soldier spotted at an airport crying was berated with "don't let him on board".
Never mind that this was the reason for his tears.
Now keep in mind that this is the time of year that we are supposed to be a little bit nicer and a little more giving...
Ho, ho, ho.
Have a wonderful weekend!

ReplyDelete... it is beyond comprehension what passes for 'art' these days; and what money as available to purchase it. I share your disgust. Let it not sour a sweet Sunday, though, Noodle darlin'! Hugs and whiskeries, YAM-aunty xxx
So well said ... we need a bunch of those "sticky paws" to apply to quite a few more
ReplyDeletethings ...
OK I need to say this 'Greedy bunch of bastards'. There is plenty of good modern art that will stand alongside the old masters one day but THIS is NOT it. There is too much money in the hads of too few and these people are evil, greedy and thoughtless.
ReplyDeleteI am tired of being nice. Sorry.
But everything worked out well for the soldier - thanks to his fellow passengers and the airport staff at least !
ReplyDeleteWhoever paid for that banana needs a kick in the pants. The help this $ could have provided . . . 🤬
