So much for that healthy ceder sauna?

[max americana]

I thought it was a sculpture of Moochelle obama until I clicked on the link. My bad..

The office’s only nurse was one of the 17 people affected by the cedar, suggesting (perhaps) that the wood had gained some level of sentience and was targeting potential threats first.

What the hell does that mean?

[heterosupremacist]

from the article : It took the FBI and the General Services Administration, the government agency that leased the space in the first place, months to get rid of the sculpture. It was finally removed in October, and the entire ordeal was estimated to have cost taxpayers $1.2 million. The FBI and GSA both think the other agency should be on the hook for the expense. Cedrus is currently being stored at the GSA’s fine arts facility in Alexandria, Virginia, and will next be sent to a storage facility in Maryland where it can’t harm anybody. e article :

Sculpture is more useful than the corrupt FBItards anyway.

Red cedar is rough stuff. I built a custom home with 160sq of red cedar shingles. It had 6 round corners that necessitated soaking the shingles to conform to the corners. About a month of that and all the cutting it was years before I wanted to see any red cedar. The tannins are strong and will make you sick.

Move it to IRS HQ.

Why would anyone pay $750,000 for that? Why would anyone pay $1.2 million to get rid of it?

[arl295]

why is our government buying this crap anyways?

750K now up to 1.2 million plus they have to store this chunk of firewood forever....

the madness needs to end

[Sasparilla]

That should be put into orbit to frighten away aliens.

Oxymoron’s for the day

Government - Art

Military - Intelligence

[The Mayor]

Why on earth did we spend so much money to make an office so luxurious? What crap.

[HP8753]

Give it a couple coats of clear coat. It will be fine.

[fruser1]

750k? What a waste!

Hell, I’d only charge 1/2 that and give them one of those glass bowls with marbles and sticks you see at the Dr.’s office.

Where’s the EPA when you actually need them?
This should have been discussed when she submitted the plan for her project. Even when not rooted into the ground, wood is not a static material like plastic or acrylic. Wood continues to develop and change long after all the resin seems to have dried up.

It’s a beautiful piece, grand and formidable.
Alas, it is also a Trojan Horse which has later become a White Elephant. Set it outside in the open air, about an acre away from any walking trail or donate it to Burning Man.

[TXnMA]

How did the "artist" survive making it?

And -- why the heck did the FBI think it had the right to spend so much of our money on a piece of junk for its entry hall?

Da*ned out-of-control, worthless bureaucrats!

Can someone list something the FBI has done right lately?

Looks like a big doner kebab.
