We need to cut the government spending in HALF as a start
No you guys, this is good. Our ambassador can hide behind it when the locals storm the gates over a cartoon or hideous video.
So now they have an Al Quaida statue and an IRA statue.
When will they have the Stuffed Arafat?
Art is anything that appeals to our sense of the sublime.
Them things—whatever they is—is as purty as a mud fence.
Fools and our money are soon parted.
Are you SERIOUS????? THAT IS CRAP!!!!

Ok, I’m a starving artist carving stone. I will sell this sculpture to anyone for one tenth of that price.
I could have done it for about $30. buy Bricks at Home Depot...
"The government fiscal year was coming to a close....."
You have to know how governments on all levels work when it comes to budgets.
If they haven't spent their year's allotted budget they will indulge in an orgy of spending the last couple months so their next year's budget will not be slashed and will remain the same or more (a COL increase will generally by added to the new year's budget).
You can bet other bureaucracies across the fruited plain are spending like crazy this month to use up the rest of their 2013 budgeted dollars so they won't be cut in the new year on the grounds they didn't need all that money in 2013.

Looks like a pile of end cuts from a quarry, waiting to be hauled off to the crusher.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
This is the same State Department that claimed they didn’t have enough money to provide adequate security at Benghazi, right?
He's most noted for his painting, and this is (apparently) his masterpiece:
Wikipedia also had the following helpful guide to his "work":
Scully's paintings are often made up of a number of panels and are abstract. Scully paints in oils, sometimes laying the paint on quite thickly to create textured surfaces. After a brief initial period of hard-edge painting Scully abandoned the masking tape while retaining his characteristic motif of the stripe which he has developed and refined over time. His paintings typically involve architectural constructions of abutting walls and panels of painted stripes. In recent years he has augmented his trademark stripes by also deploying a mode of compositional patterning more reminiscent of a checkerboard. He has stated that this style represents the way in which Ireland has moved towards a more chequered society. He stated in 2006, "I remember growing up in Ireland and everything being chequered, even the fields and the people."
Shockingly ;-) Wikipedia made no mention of his sculptural greatness...
What an amazing talent! I think this may be the kind of "Cowboy poet" artist Pelosi had in mind with her 0care pitch...
