A notorious gangster has won the right to force prison officers to call him ‘Mr’.

There were witnesses, including the doorman. Chapman just stood there, gun in hand, until the cops showed up. Then he admitted to the shooting. He’s a true lunatic, violently insane.
This author is pulling straw out of his ass and claiming he’s spun it into gold.
There is a move underway, I have read, that would halve prison sentences if criminals admit guilt immediately and avoid long trials.
I’m all for that, as long as they meet Mr. Bullet-to-the-head at the end of their sentences.
That’s the world today and my problem is I’ve grown naive in the extreme, cos I want a Norman Rockwell world. Or at least an America that reflects that. Sad though that it never really did. Or did it?
Norman Rockwell did indeed paint reality in his time. When I was a kid, I could still go down to the local drug store/5&Dime soda fountain. I was a Boy Scout. Etc. He painted a picture of a kid at the doctor’s office that still makes me laugh because that kid looks like me, and the Doctor looks like our family doctor in the 60’s.
Norman Rockwell painted snapshots of reality. To the total horror of Blake Gopnik.
Seems Gopnik is distressed that the Smithsonian removed a video showing ants crawling over Jesus.
Whats Sad is some dumb ass publisher took the bait and paid the clown for this drivel.
It amazes me that there are ppl out these who will view crap like that gopnik creep and call it art.
I haven’t got it in front of me and anyway I wouldn’t put the photo up here if I had, but someone else pushing another “envelope” trying to be “edgy” with opera, was in the news.
The producer or whoever has staged some famous opera but made things a bit up to date and edgy. He has an actor (they aren’t singers, are they?) wearing some kind of devil looking mask, and a tee-shirt with a huge Jesus picture on the front. Meanwhile, he’s got a woman in front, bent over holding what might be a rail and he’s performing what you expect by my description. And that’s accepted as art rather then the degenerate slop and grime that it is. And those that are critical just don’t understand what the artist is saying.
Some of us do and we aren’t fooled. Not even a little.
