                    DRACULA OF CANVAS LAST OFFERING

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, David Bowie and Yoko Ono have sponsored 
Herman Nish's 6-day Orgy Mystery Theater. In the name of art, 3 bulls 
and 6 pigs will be castrated, disemboweled, then eaten by a live 
audience.
  A press release says Nish's students will not only paint with the 
fresh blood of these sacrificed beasts but also their entrails.
  Who is this guy teaching? Jeffrey Dahmer? Ridiculous. If that is not 
enough to massage your Mona Lisa, art critics say this is an 
improvement over this Dracula of canvas last offering.
  My colleagues, this guy decorated beautiful, naked women with the 
bowels of dead animals. Beam me up. What is next, folks? The Lorena 
Bobbitt do-it-yourself art expo?
  This art business is out of control. We have gone from Michelangelo 
and Picasso to Herman Nish and Charlie Kruger. I yield back any body 
parts left after this expo.
