"Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please." - Mark Twain In a manner rivaled only by Orwell, Twain always has an uncanny ability to couch enduring truths in a pithy way that speaks across the decades, even centuries. And that great line of his popped into my head this morning as I took in some of the continuing back and forth on George's BFD, about the increasingly pungent issue of public funding for the arts. Tomorrow's public meeting at Trinity Cathedral ought to be interesting. The good news: it will be marked by a very un-Cleveland authentic public participation. I'll be watching closely to see if anyone in that vast gray machinery of the PD even finds out about it, much less covers it (to say nothing of doing so intelligently).Thwack! I noticed Carolyn Jack sitting in the audience, pad in hand. Let me head on over to that quagmire of info and see if anything has appear yet. Never fear, gentle readers. Yours truly got a call from our favorite weekly alt to discuss the broader issue -- the political power of the arts community in Cuyahoga County. Watch for it!
