This begs caustic and sarcastic commentary! Rumor has it that Pat McCrory is under consideration for a Bush administration appointment. For the record, former City Councilman Don Reid is advising all conservatives to voice their concern about RINO Pat to the Bush administration.

What a tremendous waste of tax dollars. No wonder it costs so much to build rail, you have to put useless non-functional pieces of art in the stations now that virtually none of the riders could care less about.

When's the last time you've heard someone on the subway in NYC saying, "you know what, that piece of art is ugly," as opposed to, "where's the g-d@#m train?"

Under federal guidelines, around one percent of the total construction budget must go to funding art for the fifteen stations that will be built along the corridor.

Don't you think that the person who came up with THIS is more deserving of hot tea with Satan than that poor chump who shot himself?

I am outraged.

I want my tax dollars to pay for a light rail system with good art, not this plop art stuff.

Seriously, though, I'm looking forward to driving to the train station, hopping on, cruisin' down South Blvd, walking across South to the Overseas Food Market, shopping, re-crossing South with groceries, getting back on the train toward Pineville, getting in my car, and driving home!

The link to the site didn't have any pics of this so-called "art".

I've seen some public art around Indy, and let me tell you, from the side it looks like a hideously delapidated building, and from the front it looks like a waste of good corrugated tin.

Modern art is garbage - on purpose.
