PC makes it to museums...Nat Geo mag is doomed
No doubt muzzies.
They must have heard Bill Clinton was on his way for a visit.
I didn’t know John Ashcroft was a Egyptologist.
Not nearly as horrid as our very own Smithsonian refusing an exhibit extolling the American Dream offeredas a gift to the museum by very wealthy self-made people. Smithie is big on slavery exhibits though.
“Sorry, had to play devil’s advocate”
Wouldn’t that be “dead-guy’s advocate” ?
Oooh, baby, I just loved dried up 2700 year old husks. Mmmm...mmmm.
I agree with you.
Once again GMTA
Then they’d better start covering up the various bog bodies in museums, and Otzi, the iceman.
Too late! Have you read National Geographic lately? It has bought into AGW big-time! Al Goracle probably sits on the board. In their Traveler magazine they lambasted the museum dedicated to Kalashnikov, snarkily implying America was just as bad since we had a firearms museum (great place in Virginia by the way). The beauty of some of the old weapons as well as the dioramas at the NRA museum are quite a step above a hall dedicated to one weapon in Russia. So, Nat Geo is PC big time.
I was going to answer him as well; sorry for the thread jack. I bought Nat Geo subscription about 10 years ago for my then 8 year old daughter. This was prompted by my love for them as a kid. My grandmother had every issue in a closet back to Perry at the pole (which I still have).
A new crew had come in and every EVERY article had some nasty anti-American, anti-capitalist blather in it. Front to back. Oh, plenty of advertising still, wouldn’t want to starve or anything. I cancelled after two years and told them explicitly why.
Back to mummies and their letting it all hang out.
The British weapon collection is on semi-permanent loan from the Imperial War Museum in Great Britain. They have tens of thousands of pieces that are taking up vast amounts of storage space, so they loan out as much as possible to keep their overhead costs down and to give folks in other countries an opportunity to see some of these fascinating weapons.
I second your sentiments - unfortunately, my subscription is a gift from my dad, so I still experience the sharp rise in blood-pressure each month when Nat’l Geographic is delivered.
I have no idea where the crew came from but they’ve infected some fine periodicals like The New Yorker, Smithsonian, and Travel and Leisure. As a design and construction professional, I have noticed these folks have overwhelmed any possible opposition to or questioning of Al Gore’s AGW groupthink.
The NRA’s American Hunter magazine had a wondeful tribute to Charlton Heston; you certainly don’t see that anywhere else. Along with other hunting and auto publications, that’s about all I read in non-news periodicals.
Thanks for the heads up! The Imperial War Museum is great; definitely a recommendation if you’re in Britain.
