Once again Cucinelli makes a fool of himself. This time by being utterly scandalized over the bare breast of Virtue on the state seal. It is amazing how terrifying basic anatomy is to some people.
For every complex problem there is a solution that is simple, elegant, and wrong.


Paradox

Oh, for the love of God. I live in Virginia, and I am really growing tired of that guy. He was elected to deal with more important issues than an exposed breast on a seal that most folks don't even pay attention to in the first place.

desert ashes

I'm just... slightly flabbergasted.  Things like this are such a waste of time better spent on more important issues -- not for here, just to clarify, but I'm upset the media focuses on this or gives it any attention at all.  Yeah, what he did was a stupid thing to do, and likely done for the media attention.  I can't help but think he did it for any other reason, or he's too soft headed to realize that a classical work of art has had no ill effects for the past couple centuries.

make me forget
how to breathe

leave me with the
taste of your sin
they will lie about you, insult you, hurt you,
betray you, injure  you, set you aflame and
watch you burn. but they will not, shall not,
c a n n o t, destroy  you. because  you, like
R o m e, were built  on ashes, and you, like
a phoenix, know how to rise and resurrect.
