Let me just say up front that I'm not an art critic by any stretch of the imagination. I don't know what art is good or why. But I'm kind of blown away by
this picture of a plastic Obama supposedly submerged in Glenn Beck's pee.
I can't stop thinking about it. Not because I'm upset at the artist — Glenn Beck, in this case — but because I think this might, unintentionally, be the most illuminating piece of contemporary religio-political art made in years. I believe that if you understand this photo, you understand just about everything in American religion and politics in the past five years.
