We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.
I was thinking the same thing. I had to look up this painting on google as I was almost certain it was fake. Mebbe this Stupid Cupid is the inspiration for AEN?
This picture hangs in the Cleveland Museum amidst a bunch of really dreary 18th century things. You come around a corner and there it is, right in front of you. People stop and gape and smile a lot.
