Yes, that’s right – I’m testing something.

Yeah, that’s pretty much all I got for now.

UPDATE:&#160 General, check in, if you please.&#160 I haven’t figured out how to add this to the editor yet, so it’ll have to be executed manually for now, and you’ll want to know the code.

The Department of Ew, Just Ew&#153 brings us this story, which – if you think about it, in a bizarre, macabre sort of way – redefines the time-honored clich&#233 “the shit’s gonna hit the fan”.

“Complex Shit”, a sculpture by the American artist Paul McCarthy, cast loose its moorings and was lifted by a sudden gust of wind from the Paul Klee centre in Berne and carried 200 yards to eventually make landfall in the grounds of a children’s home.

Museum authorities said the work had an automatic safety device that was supposed to make it deflate in the event of a storm – but it failed to operate.

The museum’s director Juri Steiner said Mr McCarthy had not yet been informed of the fate of his artwork, and that he had not yet decided whether to reinstall it in the centre’s garden.

That depends, I’d think.&#160 Does the garden need that much fertilizer?&#160

I’m not quite sure what my feelings are concerning this.

Oh, sure, I’m supposed to wring my hands and say all the right things – “oh, how terrible” – “…such a tragedy…” – “…can’t we all get along?” and other angst-ridden bullshit.

But the fact of the matter is that we simply don’t know enough about what happened up there.

Yeah, we know a bit about the Dem chairman who got killed.&#160 What I wanna know is, what were the political leanings of the gunman?

See, it’s too damned easy to blame this on the Right.&#160 And it’d be too damned easy for me to be snarky and say something like “yeah, just a dress rehearsal for 2009-10”.&#160 What if something else is at play here?

The point:&#160 The murdered was a declared delegate for the Duchess Hilarious.&#160 Suppose the gunman was a supporter of B. HUSSEIN!!! Obama???

Puts a little different spin on it, doesn’t it?

So I think I’ll wait for the details to come rolling in before I say anything else about this.

For now, anyway.
