| #9 Cligum. LOL. Pappy. I agree with you. My comment was can't we just have ordinary dumbass spelling w/o calling it art? She would most likely have been funded by the National Endowment for the Arts during Clintons' regime. Thought I saw or heard the other day that NEA was funding something about soldier's stories from Iraq--not sure of the source. |

| #7 Can't we just have ordinary dumbass spelling anymore??? Not if it's part of your job! If I was paying 40K for a half-assed artwork to hang outside a library - a friggin' library - the least one could do was make sure the names on it are correct. S'what happens when you leave public art to the arts & croissant crowd. "My career in public art is over," said the artist... Too bad it didn't happen before she made that amateurish piece of work. |

| #4 Dave D. - Re: the "one lower" - That was my first thought too (thought my experience in the area isn't that extensive :-p). Frank G - glad to see someone's taking my advice and reading the Cracker Barrel Philosopher. Now don't you take all the good stories! :-p |

| #2 "I just wasn't that concerned," she said. "None of us are particularly good spellers anymore because of computers. When you are in a studio full of clay, you don't give it much thought." Now, that's true-blue Loonie Liberal Logic. It just doesn't get any better than that... "When you look at Michelangelo's David, do you point out that one (testicle) is lower than the other?" Oops... spoke too soon. Hon, the reason David's got one goober lower than the other is that some guys are just built like that. And anyway, what the Hell does that have to do with your poor spelling? "My career in public art is over," said the artist... There IS a God!! |
