He Appears!

Oh, blessed are we to be graced by such a magnificent manifestation of His Noodliness. Never have His meatballs looked so succulent, His noodles so, er... noodly.

A word from her whose hand was blessed to be guided in the construction of this awe-inspiring depiction of Him:

"We are lucky enough to live in a country that allows us, its citizens, the freedom of speech. I have chosen to put up a statue of the Flying Spaghetti Monster to represent the discourse between people of all different beliefs. The many faiths, ethnicities and backgrounds of Cumberland County's residents make our community a stronger richer place. I respect and am proud that on the people's lawn, the county courthouse, all of these diverse beliefs can come together in a positive dialogue. Here, we are all able to share the issues close to our hearts whether it is through a memorial to the soldiers killed fighting for our country, the Statue of Liberty honoring our nations welcoming promise to all, a group's fight to stop homelessness, or powerful symbols of faith. I greatly treasure this open forum between everyone in the community."

That's a very nice effort at a non-controversial dedication, but stand by. The bat-shit crazy religio-nuts will soon be coming out of the cracks in the walls, hair on fire and wielding screaming live monkeys.

Perhaps some Slack would help. Mind you, Bob® isn't one to share power, but I'm certain a mutually beneficial financial arrangement could be agreed upon.
