The Hall of Fire

The FoxConn 'deal' was a disaster. We can 'thank' Scott Walker for that. Hartford (where the interviewed voter is from) isn't far from here. It's a very red area. It's pretty evident some people don't vote using logic & reasoning, but with emotion and along cultural lines. Trump has created a st...

Wha???

Interesting Dave. I have other games where I've played alternatively made games, making the original easier, but connections still gets me sometimes, as it did today.

Liars gonna lie. Alternate facts. Truth don't matter. What I don't get is why people buy into such obvious falsehoods and misinformation.

My heart breaks for any people, of any nation, of any ethnicity, of any creed (or none) who are stuck in the middle of violence and mechanisms of the 'powers' that be. I iimagine in most conflicts there are a great many people who just want to peacefully get on with their lives. It's often such a wa...

Yay Jude!
After my 2nd guess I had an idea what you're first word might be but there were still quite a few options and I don't enjoy playing whack -a-mole.

If you want a hint:

Oh! Yes, I've heard of the Kevin Bacon thing. If the hint had been 'degrees' I would have thought of Kevin/Bacon.

Today was tough.

The easy answer from where I'm viewing things from is racism. Trump represents old order white male entitlement.

I didn't understand it either (the weird Strand word).

Certainly stylistically, although Dwarves seem to like working with their hands.

My great-uncle (my mother's mother's brother) was a colleague of Jackson Pollock). He was a lovely man but his art left me mostly unmoved. Seymour Boardman How fascinating!! Doing a search for Seymour's work.. there are a few pieces I like. Not that I'd hang them in my home, but I can still appreci...

There were so many variants possible today I had 2 words to try (for a total of I believe 6 possible words) ready to try to narrow it down. Fortunately for me, I choose the better of the two, first.

Jackson Pollock (et al) would be considered abstract expressionism. Works such as his are supposed to set a emotion/mood without being subject to a particular well, subject. Sort of like looking at clouds (in an artistic way).. it is what it is to you, the viewer, that matters. Some may choose to ge...

It is impressive. It's not abstract art as it was well planned & executed and depicts objects/a scene in a representative way. Quite nice never the less.

Whack-a-mole day indeed.
