Wouldn’t the Fairness Doctrine require a monument to Augusto Pinochet next to Che?

Somebody obviously moved the urinal cake I put there before they snapped this picture. Isn't much wonder how his foot got to be that color.

With the socialists in power invest in copper stocks. Bronze statues need a lot of copper. An example is Southern Copper Corp NYSE:PCU

From the Wikipedia article on the statue:

Fremont is considered a quirky artistic community, and like other statues in the neighborhood (such as Waiting for the Interurban), the Lenin statue is often the victim of various artistic projects, endorsed or not. A glowing red star and sometimes Christmas lights have been added to the statue for Christmas since 2004. For the 2004 Solstice Parade, the statue was made to look like John Lennon. During Gay Pride Week, the statue is dressed in drag. Other appropriations of the statue have included painting it as a clown.

My favorite is the one of dressing it in drag! Those people in Seattle are quite nuts. To paraphrase the closing line from the movie "Chinatown": Forget it folks, it's Seattle.

Here's my favorite all-time Lenin statue. The bird dirt is a nice touch, don't you think?

I’m amazed that someone hasn’t sawed the head off that thing by now.

Ugh, that’s disturbing. I could have lived quite well without knowing that, but it’s good to know, thanks. That murderous ba$7ard gets a statue in commie Seattle. It’s disgusting.
