Earlier this week, John Hinderaker reported on the pro-communism Minneapolis puppet troupe, In the Heart of the Beast, receiving $25,000 in federal stimulus cash.
But $25,000 is just a small fraction of what In the Heart of the Beast has received from the Minnesota State Arts Board in grants since 2002:
2009
$ 37,480 (2009 Institutional Support)
$ 4,763 (2009 Arts in Education Organizational Support)
2008
$36,927 (2008 Institutional Support)
$4763 (2008 Arts in Education Organizational Support)
2007
$44,409 (2007 Institutional Support)
$3650 (2007 Arts in Education Organizational Support)
2006
$44,409 (2006 Institutional Support)
$3650 (2006 Arts in Education Organizational Support)
2005
$27,750 (2005 Institutional Support)
$4260 (2005 Arts in Education Organizational Support)
2004
$29,430 (2004 Institutional Support)
$4260 (2004 Arts in Education Organizational Support)
2003
$50,693 (2003 Institutional Support)
$5665 (2003 Arts in Education Organizational Support)
2002
$52,705 (2002 Institutional Support)
$5900 (2002 Arts in Education Organizational Support)
A total of $360,714 in state funding since 2002 (the Minnesota State Arts Board website only lists grants going back to 2002).
That is a lot of long sticks and red fabric.
The left loves their puppets. The left loves dipping their snout into the public trough. Come to think of it, that would make a great puppet show. Hmmmm, we may have to start the Fraters Libertas Puppet and Mask Theatre.
