Audacity of POTUS

Were you born anywhere from 1973 through 1988? Do you think you are Generation X or Generation Y? Well you are not. You are GEN44.

So I slated those years to reflect those aged 24 to 39 years old. Why? Because Obama just named you after himself.

From Obama's website:

Gen44

Welcome to Gen44, the official under-40 fundraising program of Obama for America—created to cultivate and empower a rising generation of leaders for the Democratic Party. Are you Gen44?

If you were really the under-40 generation, wouldn't you be GEN39, or GEN<40? Why does slating you GEN44 mean you are named after Obama?

Because he is the 44th POTUS.

Arrogance. That is something a king would do. But since a no free speech zone can be declared around the vicinity of a politician, he believes Congress moves too slow so an executive order is in order, and he has never had a real job, is it a surprise he acts like he is king?

Where have all the George Washingtons gone?

Marilyn Monroe's White Lace Panties

In Chicago a 26 foot tall statue of Marilyn Monroe was erected recreating the subway scene from "The Seven Year Itch." It looks like it is beautifully done, but nothing is left to the imagination.

If you do a search on the web you can find several examples of other artists recreating this scene as a statue and yet still keep the tease factor intact. Does a tease factor keep a piece exciting? Even after you have checked a piece to find out you do not get to see what is hidden, do you come back to the piece to get teased?

The 26 foot Marilyn just puts it all out there. Since you get to see what is usually hidden does this statue become a bore? Does it lose its enticement after the first view? Would you rather be teased?
