Non Sequitur

Though I do think of the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center as pretty failed in its attempt to add vitality to the Federal Triangle, AND dislike how Republicans try to name everything in DC (a city that disliked him as equally as he disliked it), AND seems like yet another neoclassical marble mausoleum I really do love this little sculpture in the plaza. Its a stylized flower. Very stylized. I love it. At the very least, the RRBITC (awful acronym) has the miraculously hilarious saving grace of the irreverent Capitol Steps. Think pre-1995 Saturday Night Live replete with the delicious political humor. Lovely.
