The small town (Chicago) artist went to the big, bad city of New York to protest during the Republican convention.  Not accustomed to city ways, especially and era of during Republican dominance, said artist went to a Chinese restaurant where she mistook a chopstick for food and chomped on it. Hard!
 
Crack! No more tooth! 
 
Back in Chicago she couldn't afford tooth repair.  Although a college graduate, she is an artiste, you see, and thus didn't buy anything practical like insurance .  And so her friends threw a fund raiser tooth fairy ball. The suffering of the tsunami victims did not deter their gala.

At least she didn't blame Bush for this——yet——and didn't ask the government to fix her teeth.  There is hope.
