"But he added, 'Everybody makes mistakes.'
'Not this bad,' said his girlfriend’s 13-year-old brother, Eric Smyth."
This 13-year-old is the smartest person in Livermore.

But Alquilar, who at first claimed artistic license and said she wasn’t going to return to fix the faux pas because people were being too mean about it Words fail me.
Actually, no they don't. What a moron.

“What’s in a name?” Shakespere asked. Make that “Shakespeare.” Miami artist Maria Alquilar, much maligned for 11 misspellings that popped up in the educational mural she designed for the Livermore public library last year, spent today under the hot sun correcting her mistakes Irony: "Shakespere" was probably the most common way the Bard of Avon wrote his name.

The solution is simple. Spell her name wrong on her check.

not being mean = 6 grand + expenses

Hello! I don't think that's an innapropriate spelling of his name. Of course, we standardize it as Shakespeare today, but it was actually spelled in varying ways at his time, including Shagsper.

Oh, so that's how you do it. Do bad work the first time around so they have to pay you more money to fix it. Too bad it doesn't work that way in the private sector, huh?

Notice the difference in the two pictures? The first one is different than the other one. The benches are different and there are large balls instead of posts around the horrendous piece of crap they call art. Sorry, there is no other word to accurately describe it.
Looks like the library just can't spend enough of the public money when it comes to wasting it on "art."
