"I'm not that much of an artist. I'm just a person who cuts out paper, or finds old photographs that I see at the swap meet and throws them up on the wall. I like to play around with cutting objects and putting them in the same moment, maybe I present them as little collages."

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.
