5 Gothilda Furstenberg seems like a strange name for a hound dog.

Anyway, interesting portrait. The old lady in the family homestead, the family shield and spears on the wall behind her.

9 Oh that's pretty. It looks better when embiggened, the home page size makes her face look a little out of focus but it isn't.

I bet she was a hottie in her day.

11 Carl Larsson often painted the people in his village or people in his family. She seems stern, but it looks like her dog loves her.

12 The more news that surfaces about Parkland, the more it sounds like the families of the dead have a real damage case against the school district.

15 We have some "-----hilda's" in our family. Some Bertalina's too. And an occasional Ivar. Furstenberg sounds more German actually.

Posted by: grammie winger - God Loves You, Don't Be Stupid, at February 20, 2018 09:30 AM (fD4nI)

16 My sense is that Furstenbergs probably had servants.

Moar piercings and a mohawk would finish the look.

36 Painting was done in what, 1891?

I imagine she's been sitting there since 1834 waiting for Gustav to pick her up and take her to the junior prom. He never showed...the bastidge!

Still, she clings to a faint shred of hope, one ear tilted to catch the sound of the doorbell; because really, what is the alternative?

He does, except being a Swede he also drew naked girls, which is an improvement. There's one where he's painting the naked girl outdoors and his wife is in the background keeping an eye on him.

Andrew Wyeth never let that happen.

64 I mentioned on the thread below that my old Tea Party friend I ran into at the Bolton dinner last night was a staffer on Trump's campaign here and can't say enough great things about him. She did get to spend time with him in small meetings. Said he's gracious, good-natured, and extremely smart.

Oddly enough, she doesn't trust Mike Pence. At. All. She believes he'll stab PDT in the back.

Interesting conversation.

Anyhow, I'll be hiding from her, since she's determined to get me to work on our gubernatorial campaign.

There's something just off about the vase, and the column in the back is slanty. I have an old girlfriend who's a trained artist and she looks at my stuff and says "I can tell you're left-handed". Which is not meant as a compliment.

In his self-portrait in a mirror he's painting left-handed.

91 A little research...Gothilda Furstenberg (nee Magnus) married Pontus Furstenberg, who ran the family textile company. Her family was loaded, and the couple became serious patrons of art with an extensive collection; the Furstenberg Gallery in Gothenburg is named in their honor. No doubt that's why this painting exists...

Sometimes, the stories are as fascinating as the art.

She was also a founder of the Goth movement. A real head banger.

Thanks for the reminder !
Gonna go do that right now ! (in spite of all the ice !)

"305 Cheeseheads, you might want to get out there and vote in today's primary for WI Supreme Court Justice. Screnock, of Sauk County, promises that he will try to be "non-partisan." Not that I think his promises are worth a bucket of spit, necessarily, but the other 2 in the race, Dallet of Milwaukee and Burns of Madison, aren't even pretending that they will be anything by leftist activist judges. Burns is especially vile - he has called Trump a "dog" and promised to do everything he can to fight conservatives.

If Screnock faces a more conservative judge in the general, I'll vote for the conservative. But I don't want the 2 Commies anywhere near the state Supreme Court. Get out there and vote because the moonbats in Madison sure will.

I'm hoping the two leftists will split the vote and Screnock will win, but let's not take a chance, OK?

Read the memo appointing him. It says and any other matter...

But it also says that he has to seek approval to do so from the AG. But of course the AG has recused himself from campaign issues. So that would mean Rosenstein. EXCEPT - this is not a campaign issue.

It would seem that Mueller would have to ask permission from Sessions to go beyond his charter when it is not campaign related. Did he ask? Did Sessions approve?

Wow - Timon's TinyUrl won't work either. I wonder if there's something wrong on their end?

278 Jay Z is a fan of Ace of Spades. In fact he claims to own it?

With Ace of Spades Austin Dillon winning the Daytona 500, it turned out to be a pretty big weekend.

280 I should know this but who initially gave Mueller free rein to investigate everything and anything he pleases? Did PDT have to sign off on it?

281 @280 Rosenstein.

Actually I went back and re-read it - no permission necessary for matters arising from the investigation.

283 "It would seem that Mueller would have to ask permission from Sessions to go beyond his charter when it is not campaign related. Did he ask? Did Sessions approve? Posted by: blaster

idk, but imo Rosenstein/Mueller/Comey ARE the deep state dirty cops with a very long history of Clinton cover-ups. All congress was way too happy to have Mueller coming in to be ABOVE Trump in authority. (essentially)

Grassley/OIG had their thing underway in 2015, which may or may not be the softer side of deep state. (as opposed to the Clinton/CFR/Soros side).

The best hope is Mueller took some immunity deal and is once a marine always a marine gonna make things ship shape to clear his tarnished name. manafort may have infiltrated Trump's campaign as did other of Hillary's "Russia plants" ...

But until they agree to send me the daily presidential briefings I have to guess. But the situation may still be fluid. imo

284 The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has yet again been caught exaggerating 'global warming' by fiddling with the raw temperature data.

Why do we have NOAA? They're wrong 90 percent of the time.

285 Mueller is now investigating Trump campaign meetings with the Chinese.

With all due respect, having your locale on one of those "best" lists is the kiss of death if you like things as they now are. The kitschy tourist places and associated trade will overrun you shortly thereafter, followed by denizens of D-run big cities. Then up go your home prices and real estate taxes and the next thing you know, you're priced out of your own town.

I've seen it happen to locations on Lake Superior associated with my family, aided and abetted in part by family members who tout having gotten on such lists.

No thank you. Go away.
