The latest display of ignorance, but with a glimmer of hope, from our leader: “It’s a very good bill right now. Premiums are going to come down substantially. Deductibles are going to come down. It’s going to be fantastic healthcare. Right now Obamacare is failing. I shouldn’t say this to ou...

Honey, I shrunk the inhabitant!

Is there any mention in the text of the debt owed to Wright and his Usonian designs?

Blame Obama. He just endorsed Macron!

Stuff's (Oh, Kremlin?...) getting out of hand:

I don't think Mies used the corner window in any of his brick houses. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haus_La ... aus_Esters

In the cropped black and white photo, the Erdman prefab house almost looks more like vernacular Pueblo than Wright.

My friend, Susan Bernofsky writes today: " "Pre-existing condition" is just an evil way of saying that you've been battling an illness for longer than just yesterday. This is language designed to imply that it's somehow a moral failing to be ill. Whoever thought up the idea that peopl...

Tom- I thought the same thing until I looked closer. If you look at the west (left) side of the plan, you'll see that the photo is showing the family room and kitchen. The fenestration (different windows on the prefab) matches that wall. The living room is inside the sloped roof portion and the uppe...

Do we trust AARP? "...AARP, the advocacy group that represents seniors, warned that the Upton amendment "would do little to mitigate the massive premium increase for some of the most vulnerable Americans" which they estimated could spike premiums by as much as $25,000 for those who ru...

I bet that permission for some reason wasn't granted by the Foundation. It would be in the interest of Schumacher to have Wright's name attached for marketing purposes. The new whiter versions are not an improvement, in my opinion. The turquoise, blue and gold in the original fabric has now been red...

Good news! Maybe your letter, SDR, played some small part in swaying the state agency towards reality. If the purpose of a museum dedicated to Wright's work would be to further perpetuate this bogus myth, then it should be stopped. It seems they have enough material to create a small, rural museum b...

How can you possibly claim that the "not to the level of ideas" and people with whom you disagree are UnAmerican and non American?! Isn't that the definition of McCarthyism? If responding to any of my ("childish") posts wastes your time, then please don't feel the need to bother....

Wow, Mccarthyism lives on at Wright Chat.

UnAmerican isn't satisfactory, it's now NonAmerican. You have just dismissed about 80% of the African American population, as well as at least 30% of the entire population. Good one, Roderick!
