Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney enters race: “How is the American family made stronger? With marriage before children. With a mother and a father in the life of every child.

Analyzing the Banksy Effect: “If you're one of those people who are calling Banksy a sellout for selling his work for exorbitant prices, but are interested in making money yourself from your own art, then you should perhaps rethink your views a bit. Here's what we see happening. There are now a lot of people that have money and want to spend it on art. Their entry point into buying “urban art” is now Banksy. They read about Banksy selling his work at Sothebys and they want to be in on the action. But not many can now afford to buy a Banksy piece any more. This is actually a good thing for artists who are talented and want to make money from their art because those people who can't afford ‘a Banksy' are now learning more and searching out and buying work from other talented artists who are part of the movement.”
