Blue Husky Art Installation

This is an Art Installation done by three of my brother-in-law's students. It is just fabulous and I had to share.

Below is what my B-i-L had to say:
This is the largest project to come out of any class I have ever taught. It's almost a city block long, inside a new but unfinished urban space. Three students from my Installation Art class – David Fields, Chris Wright, and Will Young – used light, air, and many square yards of very thin plastic to create a phenomenal watery effect.

Banning Food

Chefs Call Proposed New York Salt Ban 'Absurd'

This attempt to ban salt is spectacularly stupid. How stupid is spectacularly stupid? It is as stupid as trying to ban restaurants from using water to cook with. It is as stupid as trying to ban restuarants from letting customers use knives because they might cut themselves. It is as stupid as trying to grill as steak without fire. Does this salt ban extend to cheese, bacon, or bread? Does this salt ban include pickles? Dumb. Stupid. Idiotic. ARGH!

Dear Democrats in Congress

The great state of Virginia has just voted to refuse any healthcare plan that requires the mandatory purchasing of healthcare. 35 other states also have similar bills pending.

If ANYTHING indicates the American people's wholesale rejection of Obamacare that is it. 36 out of 50 states are preemptively banning Obamacare before you even have a chance of passing it.

How do you think the elections in November are going to go for you in those 36 states? How will you be able to look at your staff, knowing that your vote cost them their jobs?

You will be throwing away your own political career and damaging those of your staff for a law that will be challenged on Constitutional grounds almost immediately and is being rejected by the vast majority of states.

There is no win here. Stop.
