Well, I guess you could apply for a grant from the National Council for the Arts —or whatever it is called these days … ..

I’ve been out of the loop for a few days, forgive me if that money was taken out of the bill.

The NCA (National Council on the Arts) were getting 50 million dollars, and I don’t know if it’s in or out. That’s a national endowment, and most of that money will wind up being used for administrative purposes. You can be sure of that. Fifty million is not that much, not when you have all these hands out.

Besides, I don’t have any “Piss Christ” type projects in the que. They wouldn’t be interested in commissioning my new work “A Modest Proposal” since it’s a satire that deals with agenda driven politics and is a metaphor for a anti-abortion point of view.
