two things

1.  i am unabashedly obsessed with george w. bush's paintings

there are so many reasons why that this topic will probably need it's own post.  before i launch into a wall of text about art culture, aesthetics, the internet, social psychology, fame and personal/impersonal identity let's move on.

2.  if you're going to call yourself a yogi can you please watch this documentary first?

i don't like telling people what to do and far be it from me to play cultural appropriation police, particularly in a realm as ambiguously nuanced as the relationship between americanized yoga and eastern religions, but it's tough not to cringe when a chick in lulu lemons inadvertently compares herself to an ancient saint just because another chick in lulu lemons told her the definition of the word 'asana' once at the YMCA.
