Apparently this has been around for a while, and I missed the boat. In case you haven’t seen it, though, click here to make the little pipecleaner man dance for you. It’s fun!

Sam Brownback, Off Course to the White House
There’s a lively discussion over at Crooks and Liars about Senator Brownback’s latest moral declaration. All I can say (besides what I said on the comments thread) is that I’m glad he’s making so many theocratic statements now, so we don’t have to worry about him becoming president and surprising us. I wish they’d all be so open (keep it coming, Huckabee! You’re falling behind Brownback!) so we’d have a crystal clear picture of who’s going to respect the Constitution if he’s elected. It’s bad enough that they’re already elected officials somewhere, we don’t need any more presidents who don’t see the line between fantasy and reality.

Grounds for Sculpture
Yesterday we spent several hours with our dear friends wandering Grounds for Sculpture. We had made a couple of trips before to Storm King Mountain before, and it is quite lovely, but GfS is stunning. The art is all over, both out where you can see it, and hidden in unexpected places (so if you see a break in the foliage, you have to take a look!), and the gardens are incredible. Here are a couple of pics:
No sculpture here, but it’s just so darn pretty.
Water figured heavily in a lot of the work. This isn’t part of the water garden exhibit, but tucked away in the middle of a whole maze of works.
Lots of the sculptures encompass the landscaping as well. There was a lot more in this exhibit, one of several that were 3D renderings of paintings. We all had some fun becoming part of the scenes!
Must go back again. . .must. . .go. . .back. . .we tired out before we got to see everything, and it was well worth the trip.
