    Comment: Did you by any chance run across an article about an "artist" procuring a dog, chaining it up and starving it to death, so he could paint the progression of the starvation and call it "art." The website was given on gretawire.com and happened in one of those enlightened central american countries and the art was well received by the leaders of this nit wit country.

    Comment: This article talks as if you don't take my tax dollars to fund art it will disappear. If that is the case, let it disappear. Most if not all of the pre-20th century artists were privately funded. We should go back to that. If I want to send my money to the NEA, then I will do so. But if not, do no compel me to participate by taking my tax dollars.

Luxury stadiums are on the rise. A top seat can cost $150,000. Beer costs extra.

VIEWPOINT

The vast majority of Americans are dissatisfied with the direction of the country. So who are the 10 percent who think everything is A-OK?
