Bone-Qweesha Jones: "In this summer's political climate, what's hotter than July? The answer is: August, baby! And the nation is sizzling in a debate over health-care reform.

"Never in my life have I seen so much misunderstanding, anger, spite, backbiting, pettiness and hypocrisy. The eyes of the world watch in awe, witnessing a fear ridden nation bicker and fight about who should have decent health care. And I've never seen so many folk fired up about bringing their guns to an event where the president is. What is the motive? If somebody isn't careful, a shot from that gun will be heard around the world, resulting in some grave consequences—if you know what I mean.

"Welcome to 'Qweesha 2009' special report on Ghetto Science TV. My guest is missing toe artist, Brother Sylvester, the LeRoy Neiman of the Ghetto Science Team. He has just completed a series of controversial art works titled 'Fun with Puns: People Showing Their True Colors.'

I presume that your series reflects your perspective of the recent health-care reform town-hall meetings and rallies."

Brother Sylvester: "Right."

Bone-Qweesha Jones: "Please share with the viewers your most controversial works."

Brother Sylvester: "My first piece is titled 'Angry People Living in the Pastels.' The next piece is titled 'Etching for a Gun Fight at the Town Hall Meeting. And the last piece is titled 'Fearful, Angry People in Watercolor.'"

Bone-Qweesha Jones: "Art imitates life, again. Hmm."
