Forget the marble pillars, this time there will be a giant 16-foot sculpture of Obama made out of 15.5 tons of sand at the Democratic National Convention. Building a giant sand sculpture of a living leader might be considered a bit tacky with its worshipful implications, but building one during a hurricane in South Carolina is in particularly bad taste.
But if nothing else, at least Obama has found one “Shovel Ready Project”. And this isn’t even the creepiest giant Obama sand sculpture ever made. The winner of that particular competition is still Sudarsan Pattnaik with this nightmare made out of sand.

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
`My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away".
"Ozymandias" - Percy Bysshe Shelley
I thought of that poem as well.
Shows how stupid the Dims are. Once they realized this sand statue would be the butt of their idiocy, they decided to take it down.
Sorry Daffy.
I didn’t see your post.

If any of the workers on this monstrosity are freepers, listen. There is only one thing to do. Go up on the scaffolding when nobody’s looking, unzip your fly and do the necessary. The DNC is officially insane. Only a well-placed golden stream can save us all from it. Or maybe it would be better to just build it, let it be filmed and shown publicly, and scare the bejeebers out of everyone so they’ll vote for Mitt. Never mind. Keep it in your pants.
No. Sand is GOP racist code (see code book thread) for saying that The One is an Arab. Think about it.
“Why it’s Molech! Sacrifce your unborn babies to this idiot idol”
Oooh, goody! Will they have a wild orgy to attend the sacred rites?
His horrible smile is laughing at us! “You were stupid enough to elect me - I do what I want and nobody is stopping me..hahaha” - diabolic laughter.
No, I found it at another website with Google image search.

Obozo was a “giant” once and they hope now to restore that perception.
Big big fail coming.

Wonder how much the Army Corps is going to spend trucking the *used/abused* sand back...maybe they'll take it NOL to build some more levies.
IOW, the Dims will reap all of this negative publicity, have been forced to float a transparently bullsh!t cover story,
be out a few tens of thousands of campaign $, all w/o any tangible 'benefit' whatsoever !
LMAO
Wizard of Moz(lem).
Wonder if someone will find out whose idea this was in the first place and what was the process/who was involved with the decision to take it down.
I know the rumors that they planned the sidewalk display to be a butter sculpture are greatly exaggeratyed.
