David Wojnarowicz Lives

... and he's still kicking against the pricks from beyond the grave, even after he's been dead for 18 years. And now, another group of shrill religious pricks is shrieking over his work.

The Smithsonian, under pressure from a Catholic conservative group and House Republicans, removed a short video by Wojnarowicz from an AIDS related exhibition.

I don't know if this is testimony to the enduring provocative power of his art, or to the very delicate sensibilities of the same old religious hypocrites who've been around since the days of Caiphas and the Sanhedrin. As far as I'm concerned, these boy-raping, poor-robbing, capitalists-on-their-knees whited sepulchers richly deserve it.

Here's a still photo Wojnarowicz made from the offending video.

Bravo Dave! Don't let being dead stop you from kickin' em right where they live.
