45 Nice work . . . but I'm not sure about the characters in it. Which one is the charlatan? The Stephen Douglas lookalike on the platform? And he looks like he has plenty of adoring fans, judging by the women looking up at him and the child (or midget) practically praying to him. I'd guess the people in the foreground walking away have seen through his line of bull?

A foretelling of the American people seeing through the nonsense of the recent Coof Hysteria, maybe?

54 It is a well-done piece in that it portrays what the artist wants" social commentary with a bit of humor. The colors are pleasant, never jarring, and there is plenty of detail for the viewer to notice. It does give the feel of a political cartoon from an earlier time. Interesting.

Yeah, Longhi was Venetian, and those are masks, popular at Carnival time so others didn't see you debauching yourself.

The masks were an improvement over the earlier strategy of just poking everyone's eyes out, the so-called "Venetian blind".

Looks like the black community really wants Val Demmings to be the nominee against Rubio.

Ag commissioner is some state senator who looks pretty GOPeish against some organic farmer who looks like he should be playing for ZZ Top.

203 I stayed in Venice for less than a day. It's filthy and overcrowded and very expensive. Then I saw a wretched, dead hobo woman sprawled out on some steps, while everyone just stepped over the corpse. I decided at that point to get back on the choo-choo and go somewhere else. I think Genoa.

And as soon as it opened, tourist started slipping on the glass and busting their assess.

Wind turbines do not kill birds to any significant degree, perhaps 140,000 to 328,000 a year, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. By contrast, more than a billion birds are estimated to be killed by cats every year, and millions more are lost to vehicles, etc.

But that's irrelevant. I made a suggestion that I thought would improve things. And I gave reasons. That's all.

All of it's great. I enjoyed Strange New Worlds, but as usual The Orville blows Kurtzmann out of the park. There's one episode that strongly appears to be endorsing de-trans-ing even though I'm 900% sure Seth MacFarlane would say it doesn't.
