Geez! Who did he use for a model, Chuckie Schumerde?

Ah, yes. We can display artwork of the paperhanger, but avoid at all costs the mere hint of anything Christ-like. Now I understand....too well do I understand.

Nice to see the way in which Hitler communicated with his master, Satan, inmmortalized in art.

Society art seems so dull and vacuous. Give me a can of spray paint anytime baby.

This was in Germany. You would still find a crucifix on the walls of many classrooms there. Christmas is called the Holy Nights. There is no alternative liberal term. The standard greeting in Bavaria is Gruess Gott! That's said in the same place an American would say "Good Afternoon"- so in effect you have lots of people running around saying "Greet God" or "Greetings to God" to one another. That's the way it is.

``Please let Hillary win'' - excellent!

I believe Monica Lewinsky posed for the sculpture.

Hitler is not art.
