I am HTML impaired, but this article

http://www.jsonline.com/news/metro/may03/139774.asp

appeared in our paper this morning. It is about a picture recently hung in our Milwaukee County Courthouse that depicts not only Martin Luther King, but has offensive Rodney King references, gang references and just plain stupid artistic work of a skull with a bullet hole in it, all in the name of ....yes...."Diversity" and the struggle blacks face.

Big problem is it hangs in a courthouse where justice is dispensed and nothing like tainting potential jurors with anit white, anti establishment, pro gang violence stuff on the wall in an 8' by 16' piece! Thankfully, our County Executive gets the joke, art for art's sake is sometimes very stupid. Any help with the HTML would be appreciated.

Here you go.

Walker pulls mural from Courthouse rotunda
http://www.jsonline.com/news/metro/may03/139774.asp

Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker on Friday directed that a newly hung mural depicting African-American struggles be taken down from the Courthouse's busy public rotunda and moved to a low-traffic area.

Not sure why yours didn't "auto-linkify".

Good job by the county exec. Local FReepers should send send him thank-you letters.
