    No bull

    I find it fascinating that people who view themselves as liberal (i.e. salon readers) suddenly become Bill O'Reilly when it comes to art. There are a few comments here, that placed in a different context, would sound a bit, I dunno, rightish. Or at least wouldn't sound out of place ranting on talk radio. ("I'm just a regular guy and I'm sick of these elites...").

    I'm not saying you are required to like Jeremijenko's work, or ideas, or apparently her lifeestyle, but let's get some perspective here. Just because you think something's bullshit doesn't make it so.
