I'm sure everyone is as impressed as I am with the new Cindy Sheehan Memorial (an honorarium you’re supposed to receive after you are dead, but I digress) however, as an artiste, I couldn’t help but feel the work didn’t quite do her justice. After all, Cindy’s oeuvre has been so important. The contributions she has made to our culture are incalculable. For example, just when you thought you’d never have to lay eyes on another foul-smelling, anarchist traitor in Birkenstocks, along comes Camp Cindy. Just when you thought you’d never have to listen to Jane Fonda’s seditious ranting for as long as you lived, along comes the 67 year old actress’s vegetable oil fueled, anti-war “Peace Bus”. Haight-Asbury meets menopause powered by soy. Good stuff.
No, Cindy deserves more. I have, therefore, taken some of the most “important” contributions to modern art and transformed them into my own testament to Cindy. Think of it this way, Cindy's work is as important to modern culture as, say, Marcel Duchamp’s "Urinal" or Andres Serrano’s celebrated "Piss Christ". She has started a movement ("Opportunistic Pinko's Making a Living Expoiting their Dead Children"). She deserves this award.
