I love the auctioning off by the pound of the crappy WPA art and the subsequent backpedaling by the government claiming that they still owned it after accepting payment for it. I'm sure their newfound touching attachment to the "art" had nothing to do with the sudden increase in value. It illustrates the worth of a contract with the government, which would pretty much amount to zero.
If it benefits the government, they'll tear the thing up, throw the pieces in your face and say, "What are you gonna do about it?"
The piece about the Bread and Roses painting struck a personal note for me.
My grandmother was working in one of the textile mills in Lawrence as a bobbin girl when the Bread and Roses strike occurred. She always spoke with disgust of the Commies who started it ("It was the Eye-Talians who did it" - LOL).
Boy, it's going to take a powerful amount of energy and resolve to undo the long-standing mess we've inherited in what remains of America.
I know, I'm exhausted tracking down just those details not reported and still one will fork off into another directions raising further questions..
Details are what the Left Will DO FOR YOU. Fine example is the Bangor Daily News. Was that always like this? thought it was more conservative before. So found myself posting 2x's over on the Bangor News site--they are fit to be tied over the mural issue..as the governor said: "we don't have anything [better]to do in Maine". No one hated him when he gave them jobs at the growing Marden chain of super stores, or found themselves raving about shopping at Mardens or lowered their taxes in Waterville compared to other cities and towns in Maine, while putting emphasis on education, having been once 11, abuse and alone on the streets. He won only spending $160,000? His opponents spent way more and are whinning over a recall. I read over in the BDNews comments some State Senate Republicans have signed against him on the mural--can't judge a backbone by what's under ones political hat, I guess.
LePage is a survivor when up against the important things in life--but those liberal gnats can be really annoying. You swat, they still return.
Have seen they want to boycott all companies coming to Maine if they meet with LePage--how low are the IQ's of these Mainers??
Funny story on your mom. You made me want to go buy an Italian Sandwich with everything, oil and vinegar...
