And What Would 2020 Be Without …
This. It’s in Utah and that wasn’t even a contested state. It’s on public land. It didn’t happen on its own. It’s 2020, dude, and there’s a damn monolith in the desert.

Welcome to The World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.
My name is Susan DuQuesnay Bankston. I live in Richmond, Texas, in the heart of Tom DeLay's old district. It's nuttier than squirrel poop here.
I am honored and privileged to know Miss Juanita Jean Herownself, hairdresser extraordinary and political maven. Since she does not have time to fiddle with this internet stuff, I type her website for her and you can read it if you want to. If you don't, she truly does not give a big bear's butt.
A lot of what I post here has to do with local politics, but you probably have the same folks in your local government.
This ain't a blog. Blogs are way too trendy for me. This is a professional political organization.
It’s not a monolith, dammit, if it’s not made of stone.
1BillR … you are one of several pushing Monolith=Stone
The Guardian, however, writes:
“A monolith is technically a geographic feature made of stone, while this slab appears to be made of metal. Merriam Webster’s dictionary, however, allows for a looser interpretation of monolith as “a massive structure” and it is the word used to describe the structure director Stanley Kubrick made famous in 2001: A Space Odyssey.”
So, if you don’t want this to be called a monolith (and the same objection goes along with “obelisk”), what’s a good word for it?
2I’ve seen a photo of this thing. Must ask:would mamma want this in her house? Answer: No! Not just No! but hell no! This is not some sort of art performance. Its a junk dump-off!
3They cut off the video just before the high-pitched, piercing noise began…
4People apparently are now checking over old Google Earth photos and notice the structure has been there for several years now.
5Yeah, it’s someone’s work of art. It is kinda cool though.
6Not even welded and polished.
7It’s just … RIVETED.
With human-made rivets!
And just like that, whoosh, it’s gone. Cue Thus Sprach Zarathustra.
