Comments on: Bamiyan Buddhas in Seattle http://chicagoboyz.net/archives/3934.html Some Chicago Boyz know each other from student days at the University of Chicago. Others are Chicago boys in spirit. The blog name is also intended as a good-humored gesture of admiration for distinguished Chicago boys including those pictured above.

Forgive me if I still sound passionate about it but as a Seattle artist I took this act of cowardice personally even though, ultimately, it is Kurt's fight. I just thought it was way too early in the game to throw in the towel. But the years following this have confirmed for me that 1) the wider art community is in no way prepared to defend their own against even the demi-scintilla of a whiff of jihad Islam and 2) hey, bashing Bush is where it's at, baby - safe, cost-free and no repercussions to boot - wheee! 3) Cowards, cowards all, American artists.

I have removed "pissing" from the blacklist, and will not add it again unless (probably until) we receive another spam bombardment featuring this otherwise-useful word.
