Not an odd budget priority at all. It is resource spent on education.

But if you’re worried about that aspect of the message, perhaps a few hundred people could yoke up and pull it by hand. And have some billionaires playing golf up on top of it. That would be an accurate illustration of the relationship between the tax-payers and the military industry.

Ben Cohen and Tom Kennedy know what it will take to wake up America, something big, bold and in your face. I can’t think of anything that could be a better advocacy project. Spending money on education and educational reform in America will bring about more change. The cost of this project is a drop in the bucket compared to the good that could come from it.

Way back in April, I posted some launch photos of the Topsy-Turvy bus that I shot in Berkeley. I worked for this campaign last year as the CarnyMobile driver, so was glad to finally see this project off the ground. enjoy: HappyFeet and the Topsy Turvy Bus

I love Ben Cohen, but when I think of all the other things this sort of money could do …. toward helping the people we’re destroying in the middle east for instance. Those in the U.S. that need to become aware of the upside-down priorities will never bother with this expensive project at all. Great piece of art though.

Very cool project, but I wish it didn’t need the political justification. If it needs an explanation, then it doesn’t really â€œdramatically depict Americaâ€™s upside down budget prioritiesâ€ Where’s the connection?

And isn’t the fuel expenditure on that beast an odd budget priority?

As a statement, I don’t like it- as a fun project, I say full speed ahead.
