Ladies and gentlemen, behold your tax dollars at work:

Are you shittin’ me ?

It kind of looks like a hacked and mangled up rock version of an American flag.

Pretty lame all around. Bad art, bad decisions.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Glad they didn't pay “market price” for this monstrosity.

[knarf]

PLEASE tell me that is not the sculpture? of note

We couldn't afford security at the Benghazi consulate.

But look what we did buy with your tax dollars.

[Kirkwood]

I have one just like it behind the shed. I’m rich!

Obviously meant to represent America via the flag, the symbolism is actually interesting: a pile of worn out, broken discards thrown together as a crude block with lots of cracks and gaps. Is it a message if resilience or sort of an “e pluribus unum” of national decline, extending Khrushchev’s “we will bury you” to “you are dead but not buried”? As a bonus the form comments on the American mind and government. The artiste must have felt validated to have America pay him to laugh at us.

But a concrete bunker like that might have been useful in Benghazi.

They could have gone to the granite quarries at Marble Falls in central Texas and gotten that type of rock for free.

Hillary!—a perfect likeness.
