Jeremy is getting the vapors.

Seeing the Nebraska state capitol would probably make Jeremy’s head explode.

I wonder if Jeremy really knows what “phallic” means.

Nebraska’s cool, but when it comes to phallic nothing beats the Washington Monument which is definitely the right prop for the punchline of this script.

The Washington Monument was recently defaced with graffiti. The news programs never said what it was, but I have to wonder if it was done by Trump toadies.

My great-aunt was the kindest, gentlest lady you could want to know. Always smiling, very loving. But when dementia set in, she started dropping F-bombs left and right. Mental decline is horrific and, frankly, terrifying. Dealing with my FIL these days – sometimes he doesn’t even recognize his wife.

Gotta admit, Florida’s State Capital complex is out there as well!

She’s having a major phall.

Words like what? ‘Dreadful?’

Okay, is it just me or does anyone else think the Washington monument would be a cool place for a couple of Nuclear Power plant domes? I mean really, the visual symbolism alone would make it epic.

It’s an obelisk.

Not everything can be Platonic.

Charles Mac Arthur.Playwright of THe FRONT PAGE.Happily married to Helen Hayes.

When h e was on his deathbed from alcoholism in 1955,a priest appeared at his bedside to administer last rites;not knowing he was a confirmed athiest.

When the priest asked a staffer what religion Mac Arthur was,the “dying man” awoke and said—“I’m a phallic worshipper”

No impeachable offense!No impeachable offense!How can the lawyer keep babbling that?"

“Especially since the President left no part of the Constitution unviolated.My Lord,what does it take?What does it take?”

“If only he’d knock over a bank or something.We’d have him then!”

Written 1972.Do things ever REALLY change??

Well, after all, Washington WAS the father of our country.

Or the Coit Tower in San Francisco !!!

“It looks like a g@dd@mn d@ck”

She’s using a phall-acious argument.

…I’ll get my coat. Oh, wait, I’m already wearing it.

Well, it is, after all, the memorial to the FATHER of our country.

Blue origin

She is not wrong

I happened to hear Clay and Buck who said the name of Washington, D.C. should be changed and the Jefferson Memorial and Washington Monument should be torn down because the men owned slaves. I don’t know who is making such a claim but it’s way too much.

I’ve always enjoyed the scene in Futurama’s Momument Park with the Washington Monument next to the Clinton Monument. :)

The Washington Monument has a pyramid-shaped chunk of aluminum at its top.

Interesting timing, considering the vandalism at the monument just this week.

Appropriate for today’s Washington, in a number of ways.

It is definitely phallic.
