I guess it's nice how much we care about horses and paintings. But now we know there was all that money, all that media space, and we used it up on exactly one painting and a dead horse.
$34 million dollars was generated from private donations in record time to keep The Gross Clinic at Jefferson. Barbaro the horse had to be put down and it garnered 5 pages of the A section of the Philadelphia Inquirer.
So the next time you trip over a homeless person muttering to himself, think about how warm the painting is. That will make you feel much better. And don't wonder why all the homicides in this city are discussed in the B section. In this town, dead horses surpass dead humans any day.
