It's right up there in the second paragraph, above the fold!

What's the matter over there?

I agree that the stimulus was a bad idea. I didn't say anything about theater.

However, I don't think the money was well spent in this case. Why? I don't consider pornography to be art.

"With these stimulus funds San Francisco arts organizations will be able to weather the storm and continue to provide jobs and to generate revenue while enriching people's lives through innovative, high quality programming."
see now?
lol @ to you that porn is a form of art. Guess we could call an art dealer into the local adult book store and put the value on all those dvds

Much to my surprise, you completely missed the point of the post, which is explained in its extended quote of your linked article (the part that's indented).

You agreed with the statement you quoted, which used this case to oppose the stimulus.

That's your right, but thankfully, we don't govern ourselves according to one person's opinions.

And to some people, Michelangelo's David is pornographic. Everyone doesn't have the same taste. Focus, indeed.

The U.S. Justice Department spent $8000 for a drapery to cover a female statue with an exposed breast-Truth!
