The paint-pot blues

Today comes the maddening news that the morons who vandalized the Sydney Opera House in 2003 with an anti-war message, will get their paint pot back after all. It had earlier been ruled that the pot and roller would be withheld and destroyed by the Police, as part of the policy against criminals profiting from their crimes (the morons wanted to auction the pot and rollers for charity). As I jocularly blogged at the time, this also meant these implements would not end up in the lefty-friendly National Museum. The curse of Cuckoo strikes again: there is now talk that these sacred relics may well end up in Sydney's Powerhouse Museum. On the other hand, the Police, who evidently have a sense of humour, appear to have also made a bid to acquire them for their museum.

Again, credit points to the Age for reporting these cretins as vandals, plain and simple.
