Oh boy, we're going to the Texas State Capitol!
-There it is! Wow!
-Have you ever seen anything so humongous, guys?
-It sure is pretty.
It actually pales by comparison to the Wisconsin State Capitol on an aesthetic level. On the inside of the dome is nothing but a wall of portraits of former Governors--nothing compared to the architecture and painting in Wisconsin.
In its ugliness, the floor of the House of Representatives conveys sheer power. Everything points in one direction.
Even the cameras on the walls, even the portraits gaze to the center.
But outside, a little cupid learns how to masturbate.
Oh, wait, he's attacking an eel between his legs. My mistake.
Ultimately, the Texas State Capitol pays tribute to the family and the nobility of guns.
A mother holding a baby is actually in honor of the "Texas Pioneer Woman."
And we are reminded that it is war that keeps our government standing.
-Let's go, guys, to the Capitol!

Again, great pictures! The floor of the House of Reps really caught my eye. Everything points in one direction. Including the school marm.
And when was the last time they cleaned that rug? It looks disgusting!
"a little cupid learns how to masturbate. ...

There's a difference?
Thanks again, Jennifer.
wickedpinto: My point is that the very fact that the "Pioneer Woman" is pictured with a child in her arms says something about what they think of women. If there were a sculpture of a "Pioneer Man" and he was holding a baby for no apparent reason, that would seem pretty strange. I assume the message is that women should achieve greatness through becoming mothers.
What can I say, Chris, you've outdone the previous post. The comments are so funny, especially the "my mistake" line. And the cultural observations so true.
I like your capitol meme. When will you be visiting Helena? Montpelier? Raleigh?
