Art Appreciation



The engraving is entitled "The Exuberant Executioner". Sanson, the executioner at the guillotine set upon the site of a statue to Louis XV, displays the head of Louis XVI to the crowd.

The Capitol in the background is not Blunder Dome in Washington, DC, as much as we might want it to be.

The liars, cheats and megalomaniacs in Washington will sustain themselves, Lady Di, until we come for them...figuaratively, of course. Or maybe not.

Odie, Obama's Cheka is watching. On second thought, screw them. They know where to find me.

Louis got a bad wrap, TM.
