I believe one of my duties is to provide a jaded realism to our otherwise cheery existence.  To that end…

Thomas Kinkade, the self-proclaimed painter of light, was arrested on suspicion of DUI.  Both Robert Cargill and Jim West alerted me to this story and provide some amusing coments.  Mr. Kinkade will have a little bit of image rehab to accomplish if he is to continue to be the American evangelicalism’s Bob Ross.

It looks like Heaven & Earth and other Christian novelty stores will need a new go-to faux artist to produce overwhelming amounts of kitschy prints.
