 John Stossel is almost single-handedly responsible for whatever credibility ABC News has maintained since Brit Hume left for FNC.  Read Ethan Wallison's review of his new book, and see if it's not something you want to buy for your idiot relative to read.  
"Stossel is basically a Libertarian (he prefers "classical liberal"). He is also, as the book's title suggests, the "scourge" of liberal media. From his network perch, Stossel exposes viewers to a universe of depredations undertaken in "the public interest." It's an underground economy of lawyers, activists and other professional busybodies who enrich themselves (and one another) while harming the very people they purport to help. Journalists are the indispensable abettors. The only people who don't get to participate — ordinary taxpayers — pick up the tab." - NRO review of Stossel's book, "Give Me a Break: How I Exposed Hucksters, Cheats, and Scam Artists and Became the Scourge of the Liberal Media...

It's been my contention that Norman Rockwell was 50 times the artist Picasso was.  If somebody creates a program that allows me to generate one of Rock's pictures in 2 minutes, I may change my mind.

Wrong. I'M 50 times the artist Picasso was, and Norman Rockwell was 100 times the artist I am.

And I don't even do art anymore.

Right again Roger.

Picasso was a communist and the ultimate con artist. He hated Americans and took joy in cheating us.

The former head of the Art Institute in Chicago told me this story:

Mayor Daily (the original one) commissioned Picasso to create a huge sculpture to put in front of a new city building in downtown Chicago. Picasso (who hated Daily) wanted to play a joke on him. So Picasso created the most hideous, the most ridiculous sculpture model he could think of and sent it to Chicago. Mayor Daily took one look at the model and turned red in the face and became very angry. But he accepted it because he was scared of being called a hick by the art world.

Picasso was amazed that his model was accepted. He had second thoughts about it because he thought the sculpture would ruin his reputation. But the scam was too good to pass up and he allowed a huge black sculpture to be built from the model. It is still standing today and is quite famous.

After that, Picasso mass produced thousands and thousands of art pieces and sold them for big money. This junk art made him very rich.

As a communist, Picasso thought it was his duty to rob and pillage Americans. He succeeded beyond his wildest dreams.

Picasso was also a woman beater, so there was at least some good in him.

Just kidding.

I've always said Picasso created Cubism because he couldn't draw for shit.
