At long last, we'll be free from this nonsense! Let's hope the little Marie Antoinettes who run this town won't saddle us with anymore silliness. The bucks blown on the Mink Coat Matriarch's folly could have helped our people at HALO and the Food Bank. Here's hoping a certain oligarchic clan puts its community art projects on hold until our economic crisis is over.
Maybe this event will amuse the folks who are sitting pretty but it's of no use to the rest of us. The richie-poos ought to auction off their thrones at their precious Some-Are-Set-For-Life Club overlooking Money-mutt Square (Then, again, if they let the members' womenfolk in for the special occasion, they'd have to hide the dirty picture I heard they display in their bar.)
Smut and beauty are in the eye of the beholder. Seriously speaking, we don't need anymore community art in a town where most people can barely survive.
