"Karen Finley" (born 1956) is an American performance artist, whose theatrical pieces and recordings have often been labeled obscenity/obscene due to their graphic depictions of sexuality, abuse, and disenfranchisement. She was notably one of the NEA Four, four performance artists whose grants from the National Endowment for the Arts were vetoed in 1990 by John Frohnmayer after the process was condemned by Senate of the United States/Senator Jesse Helms under "decency" issues. Finley is currently a professor at the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University.

I will be looking at the FCC content restrictions on Howard Stern.

I'm sorry to see them go.

I'm suggesting that [Bush] is Saddam Hussein, the evil-doer.

What I wanted was to explore various different levels of the comfort-crisis aspect of the nation. It's like Greek tragedy; [Bush and Stewart] are feminine and masculine versions of us. There's humor in it, but I think their transgressions are most important -- are their attempts to organize their pathologies: for George, the psychotic, and for Martha, the neurotic.
