"And the way I feel tonight. I could die and I wouldn't mind. And there's something going on inside. Makes you wanna feel, makes you wanna try, makes you wanna blow the stars from the sky. I can't stand up, I can't cool down, I can't get my head off the ground" The Jesus and Mary Chain from "Head On"

There is something I didn't know about the nurse, she's Jewish. Not that it matters to me as long as she makes with the Goose Step and gets my Dixie cup into my eager hands as fast as possible. But she was slow with the pills this morning and I got worried. No, not that something was wrong with her, couldn't care less about that, I was worried that I was going to have to end up sober as Carrie Nation. Turns out she was dealing with a friend of the family who was arrested on the other side of the Atlantic. The reason for the bust, made me cheer. So I thought I would share it with you.

Yesterday, 41 minutes after the exhibit opened, a German man made his way past security guards to lop the head off a waxwork statue of Adolf Hitler sitting in a bunker at the Berlin Madame Tussauds museum.

The problems that I have with this are numerous. First of all, who was the dick wad that thought it was a good idea to melt down some wax and reshape it to look like the man responsible for starting a world war. Not to mention that the depicted ordered the murder of approximately six million Jews. For those of you with no sense of numbers, it's akin to the complete annihilation of Los Angeles. Yeah. So, the person that commissioned the work, idiot.

Second, why, someone tell me, why was there a need to post a sign in the museum that asked visitors to refrain from taking photos or posing with Hitler "out of respect for the millions of people who died during World War Two." That was necessary? "Honey, snap a shot of me with Hitler, it'll make for a great Christmas card." I understand that there are people in this world that practice hate because of a lack of education, ignorance, or just plain stupidity. Do these people go to museums? I seriously doubt it.

Third, not last cause this list could go on forever, but the last thing that struck me about this story is the subject matter itself. Madame Tussauds is a place where parafin replicas of Michael Jackson, Madonna, Brando, Chaplin, and W.C. Fields are found. None of them tried to exterminate a race, well Michael Jackson has tried to change, from human to alien, but to move through the Thriller stage, to the Like A Virgin booth, then straight into The Fuehrer's bunker? Not the trip I'm interested in. I think I would rather see the Crowd Pissing on David Chase diorama or maybe the Salute to Bulemia Vomitorium. Madame Tussauds, whose new slogan is "We haven't been relevant in 50 years!".

Share what you would like, I have no question for this.
