Let's really get this stirred up with this little diversion.
This map may cast some light on the subject….
That, and Coakley couldn't provide any last minute earmarks to Fed legislation (read pork ala Teddy) to win the day.
....... if you have to make up a meaning then it is not art.
Who said it? (Or at least to whom it is attributed...)"If they (the artists) do see the fields blue they are deranged, and should go to an asylum. If they only pretend to see them blue, they are criminals and should go to prison."
