The graven image


Friend of mine forwards this pic with the note, 'Jasper, Arkansas, apparently has a different visual concept of God than other folks.' I think this would be the divinity that Lloyd Blankfein spoke of when he said that Goldman Sachs was 'doing the Lord's work.'

Argghhh!

Speaking of robber barons, I found this little ditty in the Smithsonian magazine quite interesting: http://www.smithsonianmag.com/history-archaeology/J-P-Morgan-as-Cutthroat-Capitalist.html

Do give it a look-see. Talk about your modern-day pirates! Too bad this image never found its way to a water tower...

Ah, but Morgan saved the economy. I can't imagine any of our current crop of taking any action for the greater good. It's a wonderful pic, ond there's no doubt that it catches Morgan's nature.

God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Pirate?

Arrrrg! Anonymous pirate here - that's the same pic that was on our water tower in ...adrift forever until they took the tower down. Better post this quick before another of those rollin', rollin', rollin' blackouts hit

See ... it's a conspiracy of the Piratarian sect.
