Images. Ann, with her background in fine art, has all the right creds to determine whether there is anything meaningful in it.

Throw a bunch of resonate phrases together, and no matter how meaningless, they will make sense to some English teacher.

It was the beginning of my shift to the Republican party. I too feel very protective of W. I love his paintings and am so grateful he is having this time to himself. I really like W. and am flummoxed at the crummy people who reflexively despise him. He must have taken a class or has a tutor, because he's too good to be self-taught, I should think. Maybe he just has an excellent book. W. is a fairly deep man. His paintings are certainly better than Carter's poems.Kirby Olsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05952289700191142943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-30827188355462980292013-02-08T14:57:33.132-06:002013-02-08T14:57:33.132-06:00garage mahal--I don't know jack about art, but...garage mahal--<i>I don't know jack about art, but I think W's paintings are pretty good for an amateur?</i><br /><br />See that question mark at the end?
