The Last Ten Days: G.W. Bush's Contribution to the Arts

As we enter the final days of the Bush administration, let us pause to reflect on the significant contributions this administration has made to the arts. While John Kennedy's administration merely supported the work of other artists -- introducing us to the likes of Pablo Casals, Mahalia Jackson, Jerome Robbins Ballet, and Robert Frost -- members of this administration were involved with the Arts in a more direct and personal fashion. Though the creative endeavors inspired by his presidency or authored by his cohort constitute an ephemeral legacy, study of them may inspire you, gentle reader, to higher pursuits.

I present, at the rate of one per day for each of these last ten days, the top examples of this artistic powerhouse.
