...Republicans in the administration and some outside advisers. Emphasizing Bush's greener conservation measures, they say, means playing on the turf of environmentalists. If the message is that America must face up to its energy shortage, then the White House shouldn't shrink from that. Democrats are going to paint the administration as extremists on the environment anyway, this arguments goes, so why not try to use the weight of their attack against them?

In sync to the thumping of their little Blue Man drum corps, the paint-faced, ubiquitous performance artists hurled paintballs into each other's mouths, one after another after another, spitting out the paint into brightly colored patterns on white sheets...

But genius tends to be unpredictable, and a puzzling thing about Vermeer is that artistically he had no real progeny and no certain parentage. Nobody knows who taught him to paint, and his influence on younger Delft artists is too slight to bother with. He did no teaching, and no one imitated him. Moreover, most of the other Delft painters in his time (with one striking exception) pale by comparison with...
