I guess there is more than ideological reasons to cut arts funding. I can't wait to see all the cutting and slashing when he gets back in. Please excuse the violent language.

...Last week, the U.S.-installed Afghan president, Hamid Karzai, revealed he had asked Saudi Arabia to broker peace talks with the alliance of tribal and political groups resisting western occupation collectively known as the Taliban.
