But Wait, There’s More!
Claude Monet
Strength: He is big on the environment and has a proven record of being able to get up early. He is also a committed atheist, hates collectors, and stupid people. New York, California would be in the bag.
Weakness: He is obsessed with “surrendering,” “rendering his feelings,” and destroys much of what he creates.
Edouard Manet
Strength: He is very good at provoking the bourgeoisie.
Weakness: He comes from money and is big on sincerity. Not good in the year of outsiders and con men.
Vincent Van Gogh
Strength: He wants “to show what is in the heart of the lowest of the low.” He would have great appeal to the working class.
Weakness: He’s not great on gun control.
Damien Hirst
Strength: He has unsurpassed ability to suck up to and then maneuver past the rich and powerful types.
Weakness: He is absolutely shitty in his chosen profession.
Paul Cèzanne
Strength: He has the ability to speak with mountains, apples, and coffee cups. This could help him in West Virginia.
Weakness: He has an intense phobia about being touched. He wouldn’t be good at the rope line.
Camille Pissarro
Strength: Reads books, is a card-carrying anarchist, atheist, and is hostile to all centers of power.
Weakness: He is a flip-flopper in his chosen profession.
Marcel Duchamp
Strength: He is able to play jokes on the ruling class that they never get.
Weakness: He bores easily and thinks shocking people is a big deal. He’d be weak in the fly-over states.
Berthè Morisot
Strength: She is clearly superior to most men in her chosen profession. She lives above the glass ceiling.
Weakness: She has a serious longevity problem.
Salvador Dali
Strength: He has an unrivaled capacity to stretch time.
Weakness: He is a nut case fascist.
Tracey Emin
Strength: She can’t draw a lick but somehow became a Royal Academician of the Royal Academy of Arts. Her talent at defrauding people will make her a favorite with Wall St.
Weakness: She has a habit of confessing everything.
None of the Above
It is always appropriate to have “None of the Above” as an option in every election. Should “None of the Above” win a plurality or more, our Electors have agreed to install Rex the Wonder Dog as president. After all, he has been faithfully waiting for decades and he believes, at any rate, that this is his turn.
Enjoyed your “But wait, there’s more!” list very much – a badly needed dose of humor during this winter of our discontent. I passed it along to numerous friends – painters and non-painters,
Hi Dan. Thanks. I had spent the better part of a week writing a serious blog but in the end it was just
too long and didn’t hang together well. So I thought I would lighten it up a bit. “Winter of our discontent”….indeed! J
Jerry Fresia:
Strength: Puts his skills and knowledge of history into what the world really needs right now.
Weakness: He takes no prisoners!
You have me laughing Karen. J
Cannot agree more! But if I could, I’d vote for him every time!!
Great sense of humor. But mostly, just wanted to say I love the portraiture!
Thanks Daniela – it is a bit of a stretch for me! J
LMAO! But not for the reason you may think. It’s been the best fun conservatives have had in YEARS getting to sit back and watch the whiney, childish left came unhinged. Waaa waaaa waaa
??????
This is great. We have reached the apex of citizen participation. Everyone is mad as hell, ready to pitch in, and thinks the other side is
completely unhinged.
