Is It A Phallic Symbol or….?

The sculptor calls the piece Hope and Renewal

and says:

“In Cambodia, the idea of planting a flower signifies hope and renewal and the flower is a symbol of growth and opportunity,” Garber explained. “So I thought in that area where there are a lot of immigrants and a lot of refugees that it would be appropriate to design something that gives some sense of optimism, of growth or hope, to kind of uplift the community without being too literal.”

Some of the fine citizens of Chicago apparently think it is more phallic than plantlike. Laura at The Sarchasm opines:

I’m not sure I know what the sculpture is supposed to be, but I’m pretty sure it does not remotely resemble any part of the external human anatomy. I think abstinence only education is having an adverse effect on our society, don’t you? What are they teaching kids these days? If you have sex before marriage, your willy will end up looking like THIS!

Yep!
To me it looks like a couple abstract cobra headed golf drivers or croquet mallets and it certainly could be a couple germinating seeds.

What does it look like to you?


Get Thee Out

If you believe in things like satan and possession by evil spirits then you probably need folks around called exorcists. Exorcists might say things like:

“Magic is always a turn to the devil,” said the Roman Catholic priest, according to Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper.
Amorth, who is also the president of the International Association of Exorcists, said the series contains many positive references to “the satanic art” of magic and makes no distinction between black and white magic.
Amorth compared the Potter character to dictators Stalin and Hitler, saying they were possessed by the devil.
“You can tell by their behavior and their actions, from the horrors they committed and the atrocities that were committed on their orders. That’s why we need to defend society from demons,” said Amorth, who has reportedly performed 30,000 exorcisms.

Apparently he is paid or at least fully supported to perform his hand wavings.

This Is The secretary of state??

She said:

“I can tell you that nothing has really taken me aback more as secretary of state than the way that the politics of energy is–I will use the word `warping’ diplomacy around the world,” Rice told Congress in April. “It has given extraordinary power to some states that are using that power in not very good ways for the international system, states that would otherwise have very little power.”
Coming from a former Chevron board member, Rice’s shock is puzzling.

Puzzling??

I think it is quite reasonable to expect the secretary of state to have a clue prior to taking office!


What’s the Point?

It depends on what you are talking about.
For instance, if you are talking about the point comprising all possible time lines for all possible universes then the point comprises the tenth dimension. Here is a great flash animation that will help you understand the point in the first, fourth, seventh and tenth dimensions and what goes on in the other dimensions as well.
You may have much more interesting dreams if you study this right before bed! Oh, there may be some altered states of consciousness in which you can better visualize these concepts.
