I'll support George W. Bush fully if he revokes Frank Gehry's citizenship, returns him to Canada where he can manage a Canadian Tire in Moose Jaw for the rest of his life.

Here's a response to Jonathan Lethem's open letter to Frank Gehry regarding the Atlantic Yards project in Brooklyn:

Every major urban architectural development should be subject to popular criticism, but in this particular case the critics may be trying to slam the door on a truly positive and exciting proposal. New York City needs Frank Gehry's artistry!

New York needs Frank Gehry like a fish needs a bicycle (sorry, Gloria).

Like George Pataki needs another asshole.

Like Mike Bloomberg needs to be shorter.

Like NY needs another hack poser.

(I could go on all day.)
