re: #288 Escaped Hillbilly

Ok, got to admit my ignorance…
I had to look up the Wiki article on him, being afraid to click links I am unfamiliar with too liberally. I was unaware of his remarks re 9-11. It seems he later clarified he meant to say it was Satan’s greatest artwork. That would make sense. I don not know him (or the controversy) well enough to judge his sincerity. But I am willing to allow him the benefit of the doubt as everyone was a little jumpy around then and a quote could easily be taken out of context. Feel free to inform me if I am being too generous.

If I had more consistency, I would have granted him a pass back then on the grounds that everyone is entitled to a gut reaction, and his turned out to be a flash of artistic insight. But I’m not; I didn’t; and I still think much less of him for letting his muse trump his humanity in that instance.

A sample of his art, for your listening bemusement:
