New museum

Tuesday, August 19, 2008

Dear Editor,

The Museum of Democracy, I am pleased to announce, will soon be built in Norris Park. Through a generous benefactor (whose name I can't remember) has given me a check for $1 and 95 cents. With this stupendous sum, they will change the oil, wash and wax, and even give you a lube job.

If this isn't freedom, then what is?

The Museum of Democracy will have only one central feature: A 90-foot-tall ear. You get what you pay for.

Steve Stramel,

McCook

  • I speak a little Stramelese. I believe the Giant 90 foot ear is George Bush's ear. The statue is George's way of saying "Evil doers beware I hear everything"

    The $1.95 Steve talks about is the price of the bottle of fine wine Steven consumed, befor gracing us with his latest masterpiece.

  • Let's all (the taxpayers of McCook") chip in and give Mr. Stramel $300,000 for this idea. Don't expect him to actually spent it on anything productive. He might be able to have a nice vacation in Mexico.
