The Oprah Statue


Aerogarden Free Trial

Controversial American sculptor Daniel Edwards latest work ‘The Oprah Sarcophagus’, is a very full-figured sculpture of Oprah Winfrey - and that’s where the likeness begins and ends.

The work casts Miss Winfrey in bronze, as a nude, full-breasted woman with generous child-bearing hips.

However, it bears little likeness to the billionaire media mogul, save for the head of curly hair that fans out around her.

Instead, the artwork shares an uncanny likeness to the coffinette which held the body of Egyptian boy king Tutankhamun.

She has famously battled with her weight - but according to this tribute to the queen of daytime television, it appears to be a battle lost.

Edwards, 42, says his piece pays homage to the closest thing America has to a living deity.

The artist’s pieces typically address celebrity and popular culture in ways that have often stirred controversy.

No way!

Wow, I went out looking for UFO’s again tonight but all I could find was some global warming! Just kidding, just couldn’t think of anything else to post tonight!

Surefire way to save the environment!

Ok, no more debate needed. I have the ideal way to save our planet!

No doubt you have heard all about global warming and climate change being blamed on human activities. Humans this and humans that. Gosh, humans must be the worst thing to ever happen to this planet! I cannot take this too light hearted, as I am a human and apparently I am also helping to kill the planet. For this I apologize, but rather than make excuses, I have devised the perfect solution to the ‘human problem’. Now, if the term ‘human problem’ sounds earily like hitler’s ‘Jewish problem’, it is intentional. No, I am no fan of the nazi party or hitler, but sometimes the solution to climate change starts to mimic the solutions hitler had in mind for his ‘Jewish problem’.

How can I equate the two seemingly very different issues. Just research the nazi movement of the ‘30 and ’40s. Citizens are told that Nazis measures against the Jews are reasonable and defensive — but there are also hints of what was to come. Hmm, sounds a bit like what we are being told about climate change. “we must make new laws to control people”.

The following list is from the above link, but the words jew and jewish have been replaced:

Legal Measures to Solve the human Problem

  • humans are prohibited from owning shops, mail order firms, or branches, and from owning an independent craft firm. They are further prohibited from offering goods or business services at markets, exhibitions, or trade fairs of any kind. A human can no longer be a factory director, a leading official, or a member of a cooperative.Shops, mail order firms, and branches owned by humans are to be closed down and eliminated. Only in particular cases can human firms be aryanized. The same is true for human craft firms.human commercial firms and the associated property, as well as wholesale operations and industry that are human because of the degree to which they are under human ownership, can be de-humandified. Important patents and commercial secrets must be transferred to non-human control.

    humans in the German Reich may no longer own or control property. humans stocks must be turned in.

    humans with German citizenship, or humans without a nationality, are prohibited from acquiring, selling or disposing of items of gold, platinum, or silver, as well as precious gems and pearls.

Far fetched? Probably, but is it really much different from some of the modern proposals to solve global warming? Laws that punish certain groups of people for the sake of the greater good! Some will say that the proposed legislation on climate change is aimed only at large industry. That is the way it is supposed to be heard. But who actually works at these large industries and will be hurt by the proposed changes? It is the little guy trying to earn a living. It is the consumer who drives the economy. Will it stop CEO’s from retiring with multi-million dollar bonuses - No. Will it cause people looking forward to a decent pension to be hurt - yes.

So, the point of this far fetched rambling? Incentives are key, not more taxes and legislation.

And the only true answer to the ‘human problem’? No more humans!

Report: Green tech could save Feds nearly $275M per year

Few issues I actually agree with in the green movement. This is a good one!

From the time I was a small child, I’v heard “if your not in your room, turn the light off!” Sounds like a very simple concept to me. I have actuall used that line quite often for the last 20 or so years with my own children. But what does it really mean? When I heard it as a child, was it meant to be a way to save the world from climate change? Nope, it was said to save a few bucks! Genius. If we want Americans to save the planet, don’t legislate us into oblivion, save us our hard earned money! Works every time. Especially when it will be those of lesser means that would be hurt the most by more green legislation.

Show me where to save a dollar and maybe I can save the world!

Green Money!
