Wiki--You are embarassing
A First Lady does NOT 'assume office'! There is NO office re: First Lady.
This Southside Chicago bimbo is only called First Lady because she is married to Obama, the geekness of all presidents.
To say she 'assumed office' might mean she was elected--but certainly not by me and others!
And...she is NOT a fashion icon...never will be. Just a Southside Chicago bimbo with a bad right eye and terrible tatooed eyebrows!
Did he never hear of 'teleconferencing'?
You goofy schmuck! Firing up AF1 when you could do it by teleconference!
Whatsamattah? You want to get away from MO and the kids that badly?
Or...is it just another photo op with 'tar balls'?
Oh, and BTW, is Mexico doing anything re: the crisis in their Gulf? Calderone? Beuller?

Nursery Rhyme Becomes Truth?
Jack SpratCould eat no fat,
His wife could eat no lean;
And so,
Betwixt them both, you see,
They licked the platter (of America) clean.
He has lost a considerable amount of weight, as she gains it.
STRESS in the White House?
In the marriage?
Chicken-shite?
Obama postpones Asia trip as oil spill continues
Is he afraid to 'go back home'?
There's an old saying, "You can't go back home again."
The Os tried it last weekend, by returning to Chicago for the first time since Feb., 2009. And what we saw were pictures of a not-very-happy family.
It's not 'Art' and it's just STUPID!
If anything, it's 'craft', but to situate this piece where they intend?...
...of course, we know Mayor Dick'em Daley's a buffoon...
...Chicago is still a 'prairie town' full of corruption...
...Barack INSANE Obama LIES, through his teeth...
...will Blago take him down (HOPE and CHANGE?)...
...Rogers Park is 'static and bland' (at http://www.rp1000.blogspot.com/)...
...Bill Morton owes me $1,425...
...Obama is 'furious' (and probably will go golf to end his fury?)...
...Michelle is a 'fashion icon' (not with a butt like that!)...
...the Pakistani grocery man said the Koran does NOT condone killing...
...Mohammed was a pedophile (and Islamists deny this fact!)...
...I said, after September 11, 2001, that it would all 'come down to religion'.
... I was right.
Many years ago, a philosopher, Frank Jordak, stated, "Art is the instantiation of the universal." 'Instantiation' refers to what is happening immediately, now. And 'universal', of course, suggests exactly what we live in--the universe that we know. Art, therefore, becomes a 'fleeting thing', which brings us back to the 'EYEBALL'.
If Mayor Dick'em Daley had any taste, other than that in his mouth, (from Ron Huberman?) he would VETO this so-called 'work of art'. But he'd rather talk about shoving a rifle up a reporter's butt!
If you don't like THE TRUTHS I say, CLICK OFF!

Macca: Cheap shot at Bush, nothin' but praise for Obama
Sir Paul McCartney's cheap shot aimed at former President George W. Bush at a White House event on Wednesday has prompted House Minority Leader John Boehner to demand an apology from the Beatle. McCartney literally gushed over President Obama throughout his East Room concert.
“Getting this prize would just be good enough, but getting it from this president…” McCartney said letting his praise trail off as if there were vast volumes left unsaid. The prize McCartney was given is the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song, a lifetime achievement award bestowed by the Library of Congress.
McCartney ended the evening taking a baseless cheap shot at former President George W. Bush.
“After the last eight years, it’s great to have a President who knows what a library is,” McCartney quipped.
When did decorum go out of style?
“Like millions of other Americans, I have always had a good impression of Paul McCartney and thought of him as a classy guy, but I was surprised and disappointed by the lack of grace and respect he displayed at the White House,” Boehner told HUMAN EVENTS. “I hope he'll apologize to the American people for his conduct which demeaned him, the White House and President Obama.”
McCartney is the third recipient of the Gershwin Prize. Hailing from England and having earned no university degrees of his own, the Beatle may not know W. was the first American president to earn a master’s degree in business administration. (The fact the MBA is from Harvard really irks the left.) Not to mention Bush is married to a librarian.

Sir 'Pall' is dead to me now...I want to burn the CD's.
Paul, we loved the music, but you are one piece of shite, pandering to Obama.
Tend to your own life, and leave 'polly-ticking' alone!
Go write or paint something NEW, auld wither!

The Sullivan Center
Sorry, I'll still call it 'Carson's'! I shot these last Sunday.
Louis H. Sullivan's initials are prominent!
The scaffolding has been removed on Madison, to reveal the Carson, Pirie, Scott original canopy.
Canopy detail, primed and ready to be painted gloss black!
A little bit of history:
The Sullivan Center (formerly known as the Carson, Pirie, Scott and Company Building or Carson, Pirie, Scott and Company Store)[4] is a commercial building at 1 South State Street in Chicago, Illinois. A Chicago Landmark, the building was designed by Louis Sullivan, built in 1899 for the retail firm Schlesinger & Mayer, and expanded and sold to Carson Pirie Scott in 1904. The building was part of the Loop Retail Historic District. It was used for retail purposes from 1899 until 2007.
The building is remarkable for its steel structure, which allowed a dramatic increase in window area, which in turn allowed more daylight into the building interiors, and provided larger displays of merchandise to outside pedestrian traffic. The lavish cast-iron ornamental work above the rounded tower was also meant to be functional. Sullivan designed the corner entry to be seen from both State and Madison, and that the ornamentation, situated above the entrance, would be literally attractive. The building is one of the classic structures of the Chicago school.
The ornate decorative panels on the lowest stories of the building are now generally credited to George Grant Elmslie who was Sullivan's chief draftsman after Frank Lloyd Wright left the firm. When Elmslie left the firm himself the same distinct intricate scrollwork panels left with him and appear in his own designs; and Sullivan's style proceeds elsewhere.
The Carson Pirie Scott building was briefly featured in the 1988 horror film Child's Play, as the place where Andy Barclay's mother works. Carson's signage can be found during the scene where Karen Barclay buys the Good Guy doll from the homeless peddler.
In August 2006, the parent company of Carson Pirie Scott (Bon-Ton Stores Inc.) announced that after the Christmas 2006 season, the department store business in the building would be closed. There were no immediate announcements as to what new use the building will be converted to. Carson's closed the building in February 2007.
The 600,000-square-foot (56,000 m2) building, now renamed the Sullivan Center, is currently in the midst of a redevelopment by Joseph Freed & Associates, a real estate developer based in Palatine, Illinois.
A 2001 report put the budget at $68.9 million.
Current tenants include School of the Art Institute of Chicago and Gensler.
Circa 1909: The Carson, Pirie, Scott building, decorated for the 100th birthday of President Abraham Lincoln.
Think anyone will do that on August 4, 2061?
Just askin'!
