Don't make the art people angry...you won't like them when they're angry...

Senator Charles Schumer in Hot Water With Local Arts Organizations -- Vulture -- Entertainment & Culture Blog -- New York Magazine:

"...no stimulus money could be used for 'any casino or other gambling establishment, aquarium, zoo, golf course, swimming pool, stadium, community park, museum, theater, arts center, or highway-beautification project.'"
