I heart my co-curator.

Simon Sheppard just posted this comment on some conservative's blog. I think I may swoon.

"As the guiding spirit behind Perverts Put Out!, let me point out that we rent a multi-disciplinary performance space (which may receive some fed funds, I have no idea, though I wish you guys would settle on whether to demonize the NEA or the stimulus package). Four or five times a year, we rent the space. Big deal. It's truly pathetic to see the GOP moralizers - fresh from tapping its foot in a Minneapolis restroom, patronizing the D.C. Madam, and hiking the Appalachian Trail - trying to reignite the culture wars. Jeez, you people are getting really desperate. What next? Accuse us of hiring illegal aliens to perform? And anyway, the clear implication of Fox's report was just plain untrue - PPO! receives not a dime of federal funds. Seems to me I remember something about bearing false witness in the Bible?"

He also posted a personal statement on the matter here. It made me giggle.

I've said for years that Simon is the best damn writer of the kinds of things I otherwise wouldn't care about that I've ever encountered. And now he's writing about things I do care about.

Fainting couch handy?

I love both responses on his part! :) Do you have a link to the blog where he made that post? Email or message is fine, if you don't want to link to it.
