Fair Mess Doctrine

My NARN colleague and co-founder Chad the Elder has long found the State Fair’s “Seed Art” display to be a bottomless fount of material.

This year, far from being an exception, is the mack daddy of ’em all:

Every year there is at least one entry that illustrates the seed and glue community’s seething hatred of the evil and oppressive right, and this year is no exception:

I especially love the twisted little scowl that crop artist Teresa Anderson has applied to Dick’s menacing visage.

One can only imagine the thoughts that must have run through Teresa’s fragile little mind while she created this masterpiece, though I’m quite certain that the notion of hypocrisy didn’t pop up even once during the time it took her to glue down all of the tiny little seeds making up the word “divisiveness”.

My favorite, of course, is the perennial (ha ha, I slay me) albeit very strange seed art picture of sportscaster Marv Albert testing a new set of dentures (inscrutably captioned “Senator Wellstone”) which has been a long-time fixture in the “Seed Art” display:

 

CORRECTION:  I’m informed that the seed “art” picture is intended to be of the late Senator Wellstone.  Not Marv Albert.

  1. Who says the DFL is the party of hate? I do!

    They have to politicize everything. What next? Abu Grave (sp) float in the St Paul Winter Carnavel parade?

  2. Teresa Anderson….imagine getting stuck sitting next to that bitch on a long bus ride.

    “Nice day, isn’t it. Where are you going to?”

    “Any day that Republicans walk to the earth is a day of pain and torture for me. I am going someplace more progressive so I don’t have to breath the same air as the Christo-Facist Hitler loving neo-cons.”

  3. Someone on another blog posted that this hag harbors so much hatred towards Republicans, that she sits all winter thinking about what she can do for seed art at the fair (she did this last year also), then spends huge hours creating the hate-art.

    Yes, what a sad depressing exsistance.

  4. Surely that’s all speculation.

    I don’t think she writes letters to the Strib editor, so we’ve only got her lovely seed art to go on.

  5. Bill C. Good Lord. If it’s her, imagine what daycare is like there….

    Little Child: “I want a second scoop of ice cream”

    Teresa: “And I want us out of this immoral war for oil and Paul Wellstone to come back to life, but some things just aren’t going to happen today”.

  6. Yes, Bill. Someone who makes political cartoons can’t possibly be safe around children.

    Until I read Chad’s comment, I had no idea that the seed art community was of one mind. Hmm. Makes me wonder how portraits of Billy Graham, Mother Teresa, and Ronald Reagan ever got in the show.

  7. Did you see the one of Franken?!?!?! You know the kind of art that comes from the hive mind… I know… the American people know it.

    Regarding political cartoons… you’ve seen Ted Rall. Not just his so-called cartoons, but his picture. That’s proof that hive-mind cartoonists can’t be allowed near children because of potential moonbattery.

  8. Yes, Bill. Someone who makes political cartoons can’t possibly be safe around children.

    Someone who makes political cartoons like that is not someone I want caring for and teaching my children, thank you very much.

    How intolerant of me? When it comes to my kids, you can take your tolerance and firmly implant it where the sun don’t shine.

  9. Bill, you didn’t say that you wouldn’t want to have her take care of your kids, you just issued a blanket “yikes” as though she were raising pit bulls for a dogfighting operation.
