USA Surrenders to Terrorists, Spikes Calatrava Plans

The Downtown Lad is understandably incensed that we are letting the bad guys win. It really is pathetic and disgraceful that some people would rather cower in fear than build a beautiful and inspiring world.

It's much less consequential, but I agree, at least in part, with him on another matter too. I mean you should have a certain level control over your appearance. But if the White House is already so into image control and supposed fashion propriety that they ban jeans, what exactly is the excuse for letting someone represent the US on the world stage looking like this?

It brings up a good question: Which is uglier, the dinosaur sculpture or the love child of Bolton and Janet Reno?

will it still have the capacity to open to admit outside air, weather permitting? i can't find anything about that in my brief perusal, and that was always my favorite feature of the original design.

Supposedly it will still open up. Let's hope it stays that way. It's darn ugly closed now...
