The Marilyn Statue #3 - a photo on Flickriver

            Let's see, now.

The Mayor sends his kids to private schools as he eviscerates the public schools and fires and demoralizes teachers and staff.

Chicago's outlying neighborhoods have been walloped by foreclosures, especially Bronzeville, Englewood and parts of the west side. Even before the 2008 meltdown, entire blocks in these neighborhoods were vacant, without a building left standing.

Chicago lost nearly 200,000 people between 2000 and 2010. It has lost nearly a third of its population since 1950.

Speaker Boehner allows the Tea Party to bring our country to the brink of default so they can score political points against President Obama. One of the Tea Party's leading hypocrite nut jobs, Rep. Joe Walsh, who publicly called the President of the United States a liar and has been lecturing him about "fiscal responsibility" for months, is revealed in a lawsuit by his ex-wife to owe $100,000 in alimony and child support for his 3 children.

So children glimpsing painted-on panties on a fully-clothed statue of an actress who has been dead almost 50 years is the least of our problems. Good Lord, the MPAA censors (who still did the "ladder test" on the cleavage in actresses' costumes in 1955) allowed this movie to be seen by anyone with 75 cents to get into the theater. If those children have brothers and sisters and their parents accidentally left the master bedroom door open, they've probably seen (or heard) much more than Marilyn cooing as the breeze from the subway sends her pleated skirt airborne.
