Why is there scaffolding on the Capitol Dome?

I'd add a nipple ring.

Do you know this for a fact? I didn't look anywhere else for info. I know the guy who did it last time and I would think he'd be involved this time (he isn't) if there was some kind of a problem.

That's what one of the tour guides and a Capitol cop told me when I asked.

Not necessarily. The last round was a restoration and renovation -- and a very good one, I think. This is just a repair job, so I don't think it demands the same sort of expertise.

Is Obama making her damp too? She should talk to Chrissy Matthews!

I only appears to be a scaffolding. It's really a short-wave antenna system with which comrade Doyle will secretly communicate with the Obomofascist regime. UN helicopters filled with Chinese troops will soon arrive to take away your guns. Terk away yer Gerns!
