'Anti-American' art to be yanked
This article was just posted to GD by otohara. I thought it might have an interest here, too. I live in the neighborhhod and plan on letting my City Council know how I feel aobut this decision. It's sickening.

"LAKEWOOD - City Manager Mike Rock late Friday ordered an art exhibit some considered unpatriotic to be removed from a city-owned building.

The decision came after three council members issued a joint statement calling the exhibit "anti-American and anti-military."

I sent her a not and hope she shows them on her site some day. Here is her site. The work is beautiful. http://members.aol.com/gaylalemke/lemkeindex.html

1. Thanks for posting this. I missed it earlier.
Her work is very good. Too bad the council members are such plebeians.
