I HOPE they throw the book at him

The news has more or less uniformly sucked as of late, so here's a little something that might cheer you up. I know it brought a smile to my face...

A street artist famous for his red, white and blue "Hope" posters of President Obama has been arrested on warrants accusing him of tagging property with graffiti, police said Saturday.

Shepard Fairey was arrested Friday night on his way to the Institute of Contemporary Art for a kickoff event for his first solo exhibition, called "Supply and Demand."
He was on his way to his first solo exhibit, you say? When they arrested his derivative ass? Mmmmmmmmm...this schadenfreude is delicious.

Now, back to your regularly scheduled crumble of Western Civilization.
