Museum of Bad Art
Website of the Day: Museum of Bad Art
As much as I can appreciate a one-of-a-kind print on Etsy or at the MoMA's Color Chart exhibit, I'm no art snob. I like it all — including stuff that's not quite Louvre worthy, and I've found where to get my fix of it: The Museum of Bad Art!
MOBA, the deliciously ironic acronym, houses an online collection of art that's creepy, odd, and just plain bad, as well as works that came from great artists that inexplicably ended up bad.

Some new administrations tiptoe through it unscathed; others are less nimble, and bombs explode. “It’s an old maxim that you can build a billion-dollar highway that’s the biggest pork barrel in the world and no one will say anything,” said William Seale, a White House historian, “but if you’re in public office and you try and change your desk, you’re going to end up on the front page.Bumbling Burglar

LUXOR, Egypt - The linen wrapped mummy of King Tut was put on public display for the first time on Sunday — 85 years after the 3,000-year-old boy pharaoh's golden enshrined tomb and mummy were discovered in Luxor's famed Valley of the Kings. Archeologists removed the mummy from his stone sarcophagus in his underground tomb, revealing his shriveled leather-like face and body. "The golden boy has magic and mystery and therefore every person all over the world will see what Egypt is doing to preserve the golden boy, and all of them I am sure will come to see the golden boy," Egypt's antiquities chief Zahi Hawass told reporters under the intense Luxor sun.For frugalists, bargain hunting is a lifestyle
