Smithsonian’s dinosaur hall to close April 28 and won’t open until Americans accept a 50% tax increase.

I hear the Helen Thomas exhibit is supposed to be spectacular once it re-opens.

Perhaps a few RINO Republican wax figures should be added.

Five years?

That's the government for ya!!

At the rate we’re going under comrade Obama, in 5 years AMERICA may be extinct.

During which, EVERY dinosaur we’ve ever heard about will be renamed to a more pleasant sounding, non-violent name. Additionally, we will all be treated to NEW government-sponsored research that the dinosaurs were all vegetarian and any meat-eating aspects about them can be attributed to rabid, right-wing purported ‘scholars.’

But the dinosaur experience, Johnson said, “won’t be as rich as we presently offer ..."
Sooooo, after 5 years and $48 million the museum won't be as good as what they have now.
Your confiscated tax dollars at work.

[mware]

Always one of my favorite halls to visit at the Natural History Museum.

[PLMerite]

Man, even the dinosaurs are gettin’ laid off...

FTA: But the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture, which broke ground in February 2012, is expected to open on the Mall in November 2015 after fewer than four years. That museum will be more than 10 times the size of the dinosaur hall, whose makeover will take five years.

10 times the size? Will they have a figure Booker T as big as a T-Rex?

[Truth29]

By then America will have been remade in the Venezuelan model and only the party faithful will be admitted to the new Dear Leader Hall.

[Organic Panic]

5 years and 48,000,000 dollars. Yea right! 12 years and 2.4 billion dollars later and it might be completed.

[Smokin' Joe]

In the grand scheme of things, five years isn’t much time; after all, some of the fossils on display are well over 100 million years old.

Hmmm. The pennies I was going to pay my taxes with are made of metal atoms far older, so a 30-50 year delay is peanuts by this line of thought.

I guess when we have a dinosaur living in the big White House across the way, priorities will change.

What they’re really doing is updating their “settled” science

You can still enjoy the rest of the museum and take the virtul tour from home
