Hommage à Andre Gide

From

http://afilreis.blogspot.com/2010/10/art-as-animal-cruelty.html

we learn that art students are still learning philosophy from Gide and the Marquis de Sade.

From

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/10/13/AR2010101307173.html

we learn that Harry Whittington, the man Dick Cheney shot five years ago, was much more seriously wounded than was reported at the time -- in fact, almost killed then, and still suffering now from his injuries, including a quite possibly shortened lifespan.

One more thing we learn from the article is this:

Cheney never has apologized, publicly or privately.

Let's hear it for performance art and the acte gratuit!
