      You'll need a tall mounting block[^] Thank goodness there's nothing better to spend that sort of cash on otherwise some people may think it's a total waste of money in these difficult times.

      Sounds like the only thing bigger than the sculpture is the horse's ass who decided this was a good idea.

            Maybe they should just commission the back end of the horse, to represent the horse's ass that approved the funding.

                            It is an important and necessary part of the economic stimulus plan and proof that the government no longer has faith in those discredited plans of the last eight years.

                                      I detest all "public art". If an individual wants to make art, great; if an individual wants to buy or commission art, fine. But don't spend public funds on it and make me look at it as I drive down the street. Downtown Mesa (AZ), for instance, has a dreadful collection of crap littering its sidewalks. :sigh:

                                        Today's lesson is brought to you by the word "niggardly". Remember kids, don't attribute to racism what can be explained by Scandinavian language roots. -- Robert Royall

                                          You'll need a tall mounting block[^] Thank goodness there's nothing better to spend that sort of cash on otherwise some people may think it's a total waste of money in these difficult times.

                                          What a designer. "Mhmmmmm.... what will I design" "Oh... maybe a horse will look nice" "wait God designed that already" checks to see if God has any patents on a horse "Oh no patents I think I'll enter that idea"

                                          I like work: it fascinates me. I can sit and look at for hours.--Jerome K Jerome<< that about sums me up! When a man sits with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute. But let him sit on a hot stove for a minute-and it's longer than any hour. That's relativity--Albert Einstein << ya gotta love that guy!
