...Smarts "He's given no evidence up to now that he knows what to do with a brush . . ." Thank you, Richard Lacayo, for the excellent profile [Sept. 15], exposing the factory "art" of Damien Hirst. As much as $720,000 for "spin paintings" that are simply manufactured in production facilities by an army of studio assistants? I think Lacayo's term "product lines on canvas" says it all. Welcome to the Wal-Mart of art. I find it strange that however closely I look at the photo of his new work The Golden Calf, I can't quite...
...long string of con men who found a gimmick and capitalized on it, suckering those wannabes who are more interested in bragging rights than promoting a fresh, honest talent in the art world.

The business leaders bailed out by government this week "are victims," he said, "and the government set it up." Washington underreacted to previous crisis, let Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac spin wildly out of control as quasigovernment agencies while taxpayers piled up unsecured debt in their names. The crisis, he added, was "really fed throughout by government policies...
...Palin ally, Anchorage Republican Senator Gene Therriault, formed an impromptu spin room after French's statement, telling the cameramen and reporters who crowded around him that Oct. 10 was an "artificial deadline" and that the real question of the investigation was already solved in his mind - Palin had the right to fire Walt Monegan because he was an at-will employee. But the other question is still germane: Did Palin, her staff and her husband pressure Monegan to remove Wooten from the force? There's evidence to suggest they did, starting with Palin's own admission that there were over...
