Conspiracy of Nuts Elisa Begliante www.mondoexpressionism.com & mondoexpressionism.etsy.comIt's one of those mornings. It's a very loud morning filled with broken glass voices.
And there's this little conspiracy theory I've harboring the last few weeks. Not the Illuminati kind, or are Kennedy, Elvis, Tupac, etc. still alive kind of conspiracy, but more of a conspiracy of dunces, my reconfiguring of Jonathan Swift's dunces of confederacy.
My conspiracy theory isn't much of a conspiracy. It's probably more of a Matrix-based philosophy , but here it is: isn't it possible that the current political morass, the past political morass, and the future political morass is proof of a parallel universe, where we're really hamsters running on a giant wheel, and even though we know we should get off because we're tired and hungry and need to rest, we just can't, because, you see, there's this delicious-looking treat suspended from the ceiling, right in front of our wheel and if we hurry, we'll get it. Plus, nobody's ever got off the wheel. Safely.
So are we the conspirators or the dunces? You decide.
In any case, I'm officially taking a news break until my sense of humor returns (and reason and healthy bias returns to voters and news media).
Comedy Central is allowed and considered mandatory viewing, though.
I found this painting from New Haven artist,Elisa Vegliante,during my early morning snit, and unlike my got up on the wrong side of the bed I've been following politics too closely for my own good "discussion", it is irony-free and humor-infused.
I love art brut and outsider art,(out side of what?). Check out Elisa's painting.
