Stimulating

A couple of months ago, a chunk of the stimulus money voted by our congressional banditti magnanimous government was spent on laying down an artistic, geometric design on the street outside of my agency. It looks like the tracks of a giant monster truck, and seems to be made of some kind of rubber or polymer-based material; it was supposed to be permanent, but it's already coming apart.





Hey, guys, money well spent.

    Would have been cheaper and more permanent to get some young bloke doing circle work on the pavement....

    What was the name of that 'artist' so we can track him down and beat a refund out of him after we take over?

    But, you see, you unkulchured "tax" "payer" rubes, the work's very impermanence is part of its artistic appeal.

    Of course they could have conveyed the same thing simply by painting winged bags of money on the pavement.

    Ah, conceptual art, eh? Hadn't thought of that.

    And I thought the taxpayer funded "art" in Canberra was bad...

    You should see what's outside my building. I refer to it as "the jolly green giant's wedding ring", supposed to do fancy light thingy at noon on the summer solstice, or some such shit.

    Does it? Well, not so you'd notice. There seems to be a tree in the way.

    Probably why them rubes at stonehenge used the winter solstice, huh genius? And maybe cut down a tree or two. Just sayin'...
