This sounds like trouble

Today’s Washington Post has this:

A powerful federal arts commission is urging that the sculpture of Martin Luther King Jr. proposed for a memorial on the Tidal Basin be reworked because it is too “confrontational” and reminiscent of political art in totalitarian states.

The U.S. Commission of Fine Arts thinks “the colossal scale and Social Realist style of the proposed statue recalls a genre of political sculpture that has recently been pulled down in other countries,” commission secretary Thomas Luebke said in a letter in April.

By law, no project like the memorial can go forward without approval from the commission, the federal agency that advises the government on public design and aesthetics in the capital.

The sculpture makes Dr. King look like a strong forceful man (who, thank G-d, has just had his line extended, finally, through Marty) completely possessed of the Individual Sovereignty unique to the radical Whig experiment that is America and through his martyrdom (his killers not yet brought to justice make him and JFK the two prophesied “unburied martyrs”) now extended to the complete spectrum embodied in E Pluribus Unum…fulfilling an aspect of the ancient dream for humanity, and more particularly us, that is America’s destiny.

The pansy Bush-appointees want him to look a Beta Male like the Closet-queen-in-Chief and all his cohort who committed 9-11 to send us to false war, and whose fathers killed Dr. King.

Don’t waste your time on Will Jones. The man is a lunatic. I used to try to reason with him, but when I found out that he was a Cynthia McKinney supporter, 911 conspiracy theorist, an Obama acolyte, and a defender of the Wrong Reverend Wright, I gave up. In short, he’s nuts. Enjoy Will for what he is and have a couple of laughs. Peace.

Church,

Your calling him nuts, while you peer out your blinds taking notes on your neighbors and rooting for riots. You sir couldn’t carry the jockstrap that holds the nuts of a fine American like Will. Peace @ Legumes.

I will not go into the Ru Paul supporter burning is BMW 7 series, while illegally burning trash in his front yard. Yes, I watched him do it. Yes I laughed and took pictures. This Ru Paul neighbor of mine is an idiot. I wanted to document his stupidity. Most everyone thinks it is funny. Libs and others, mainly fellow Ru Paul idiots, do not. O.K.

That does not change the fact that Will Jones, jock strap or no, is an idiot. Republicans should track him down and ask him to star in an Obama commercial. Anyway, why are you taking Will seriously? Perhaps you, HiJacking Wackolibhack, are as crazy as Will.

If you are concerned about riots, how about you guys excercise some self control, and behave like adults at your convention?

P.s. Mrs. Churchill, she’s a decorator, would be offend by the assumption that we have mini-blinds. She calls them plantation shutters.

I apologize to the Mrs. and I’m sure she has excellent taste in all aspects of her life except husbandry.

Wacko, look up “husbandry.” I am trying to save you from your ignorance. Husbandry has nothing to do with the selection of a spouse. Libs will get mad at me for highlighting the ignorace of a poor, underserved, verbally challenged Democrat, but my intentions as a pure and fair as the Democrat primary process. Peace.

‘Swill,

I am aware of the definition of animal husbandry. I made a highbrow joke that you and your neanderthal tribe can’t rap your tiny minds around. You sir, are a pig. Therefore, your an animal and when you procreate you create swine. Hence animal husbandry. Don’t bring your flaccid penis to a sword fight. DM, rarely do I speak to effete f* like you, but please stay were you belong in the minor leagues molesting collies. Peace.

It is Bush’s that Churcill makes liberals mad and forces them to steal names without properly blaming Bush. It is Bush’s fault that liberals cannot pull of a name-hi-jack. It is Bush’s fault that the liberals look lame and Church is the man. I hate Bush for making the left look like rookies. I hate Bush

If you consider that high-brow comedy, then you make my point for me. I think you ran to a dictionary and them attempted to be clever. Son, this is chess not checkers. You should try harder. Peace.
