YEG to AFC

     As the new year, 2011, rapidly approaches, the health of the economy here in the United States remains questionable, even though some news outlets have recently suggested there may be signs of some improvement in sight.  We can only hope this be the case rather than some empty journalistic mechanism to generate more spending for the sake of inflating holiday retail sales.
     In the meantime, Art Fag City, a website that focuses on contemporary art, and claims an equivalent relevancy to that of the American painter, Eric Fischl, along with recently being cited by The Village Voice as one of New York City's most substantive blogs, seeks additional funding between now and January 1, 2011.  AFC's goal:  to generate $5,000 between now and New Year's day in order to continue operating.
     So since that curious spirit of giving is upon us, this author encourages readers to engage in some year-end giving to AFC's cause.  But remember:  donate only if you think it can fit within your personal financial budget.  Who knows?  If you donate enough money to AFC's cause, aside from making some dildo grow longer, if you're a painter yourself, AFC just might decide to give you a free smock to wear when you paint your pictures instead of artwork to hang on your wall.
     Here at IRR, and within the grass roots literary movement, OLA, the combined mission here is to encourage the promotion of American art, whether good, bad, cosmetic or profound.  And for some of our more highly visible segments of contemporary American culture and thought, more money automatically means more political power and influence, regardless of talent.
