The Arts Have It

By Sniffles

Here's something else to celebrate about the end of Trump: The Kennedy Center Honors are back.

With certain restrictions, of course: Due to the COVID pandemic, this year's event was scaled back to a White House reception last month. Still, it was more than Benedict Donald and Moose & Squirrel ever did, since they were openly hostile to the arts and knew that they'd be booed, hissed, or socially cut in the best Miss Manners spirit. (Think of Ivanka Trump at the G20, and you get the picture.)

That's okay. Next year, the Kennedy Center Honors will return in full flower, we have no doubt — with a show at the storied venue, attended by the President and First Lady, and masks optional. That's because not only are the Bidens arts-friendly, but they've gotten the nation vaccinated and back on track, thank you very much.

Meanwhile, let's take a moment to recognize these artists for their brilliance: Joan Baez, Garth Brooks, Debbie Allen, Midori and Dick Van Dyke. May they all join us as Kennedy Center alums at next year's celebration. We cats PURR.
