And now it is time for Art.
"Armed robbers have stolen the iconic Edvard Munch painting, The Scream, from the Munch Museum in Norway.
Two masked thieves pulled the work and another painting, Madonna, off the wall as stunned visitors watched on Sunday. "

I can't believe I'm just hearing about this. Apparently, I've been living under a politics-heavy rock for the last week. This makes me so sad. And also makes me think about the admission cost for MoMA
when it reopens. Sick. Charging the public $20 to see some of the most important art in the world is ethically just as wrong as stealing it away altogether. No one should have the right to make the experience of these works a priveledge that only a few are able to enjoy. Right now I'm thinking about the fact that in my lifetime, I'll probably never see 'The Scream' in person. And I'll probably only be able to see the MoMA's collection a couple of times.

Hm. It becomes more clear every day, why I am not a Republican...
