Well you have this kind of problem where you can't express the human condition without expressing the human condition. Republicans can be anti gay and anti big government and anti special interests and still, Cheney can have a gay daughter who gets a job in the federal government because her father is Vice President. Nothing is ever simple.
The thing about Bacon is that it isn't really good for you but it is kind of tasty.
Boise, Idaho - For 66 years, two murals depicting the lynching of an American Indian have hung in a now-abandoned county courthouse in Idaho's capital - reminders of the bloodshed that accompanied America's westward expansion.
Starting in 2008, the Idaho Legislature plans to meet in the old Ada County courthouse while the state Capitol building is renovated. And lawmakers, historians and Indian leaders disagree over whether the murals should be preserved as history or removed or covered up as disturbing and offensive.
"They should be painted over," said Claudeo Broncho
of the Shoshone-Bannock tribe, whose traditional territory included Ada County.
Others want them to remain as reminders of injustices committed against Indians.
"The shame is not on those who painted the picture, but on those who refuse to acknowledge our history for what it is," said
Preservationists said they will fight attempts to remove the murals, among 26 in the building that are products of the Works Progress Administration Artists Project, a Depression-era program that put artists to work.
People entering the courthouse will have to walk past the murals as they climb steps to where the House and Senate will meet.
Race relations in Idaho, home to the white supremacist Aryan Nations group up until 2004, have been a sore spot for years.
