The Albert Memorial
Over the years, it's been sneered at, laughed at, and shrigged off. Admittedly, it's a bit precious and, frankly, over the top.
But just compare it to the massive temples Americans erect for the "men of the people" nation-cult, and you might feel a bit better.
After all, no one thought of carving his face into a mountain. It takes a republic to be that hubristic.

The Frank Gibson Incident
There's one thing I don't understand about THIS. While it's important that as much hell be raised as possible about the behavior of the police, I don't understand why there's not more of a fuss about the fact that there's a twit of a magistrate being allowed to stay in office.
