And Now, A Message From The State Of Indiana...

This veteran has seen some authentically strange things in his lifetime, such as a non-conservative conservative winning a presidential election, the laziness of fellow lefties, and now, censoring of established classical art. David and the Venus de Milo, along with a few other statues, have been ordered off the lawn of an Indiana yard art business. According to the Associated Press and SFGate.com, "Indiana's obscenity law prohibits the display of nudity where children might see it..." says Frank Butler, county zoning inspector. However, Indiana state law also allows exceptions for pieces that are of artistic value. So, the Venus isn't passing for art these days?
Also, in some more pressing news, the Quad-City Times and AP published a piece today about how our favorite senior citizens, the AARP, are against the President's social security replacement [plan]. According to the article, six out of ten members are against the President's proposal. Six out of ten? Is that all? Anyway, the veteran, as always, fully supports the fight to fix social security as opposed to RUINING IT, which seems to be the basis for the Bush [plan]. The full article can be found at the Quad-City Times.
