That's what Leo LaPorte says and it does seem to be very accurate, indeed!

So, on my blog, this blog you are reading now, the ronnie republic...........I keep getting all of these comments.

They are crazy comments that do not make any sense......as if the creator does not have a command of the English language.

Right, they are usually on the topics of Bill O'Reilly or Sean Hannity.

Seriously, I do not have clue about what is going on.

So I read this on Google and I just keep following their advice.........I keep marking these comments as spam.

Leo said Google is so good at filtering out--what is spam and what is a legitimate comment--and also this applies to e-mail, Leo added.

I always listen to Leo's radio show......the tech guy.......and it usually comes on Sat and Sun on various AM radio channels across the country.

Once in a while I listen to it on the internet........just google it and you can easily find it.

Yes, it's true.......I love Leo and Larry King and Snoop Dogg........It's just who I am.

So, what's the up-shot of this whole thing.........Google puts all of these crazy comments on spam........and they do not show up on my blog.

Bill O'Reilly
bill seems annoyed about something
Good job, Google, for filtering out this trash.......and thank you to Leo LaPorte......my Sunday man.

Do you have a tip for the ronnie republic radio round-up.

Please comment or send me and e...........love to include it in my blog.

Do you think Bill O'Reilly or Sean Hannity or Fox News is trying to hack this blog...........what do you think?

Thanks for your time reading the ronnie-re.....we need contributors.
ronnie.......he's always trying to look like Snoop

Yarn Bomb: Wichita Style--Millie the Millipede at the Ulrich Museum WSU

Forty Years/Forty Stories:  Celebrating The Ulrich Museum, Millie the Millipede and Wichita State UniversityYarn Bombing at the Ulrich Museum of Art at Wichita State University

Hello Wichita:  File under discovering the Ulrich Museum....the unique charm of Millie's yarn bomb outfit.....and the welcoming vibe and peaceful grounds of WSU.

Millie is busy every day welcoming everyone into WSU at the 17th Street entrance--surrounded by flowers and students and visitors and inviting all of the people and all of the children to see her Ulrich Museum situated just past her smiling face and her shoes and socks........yes, she has socks created by the yarn bombers, too.

You really have to come and see it........

The yarn bomb of Millie the Millipede, the giant brass sculpture by Tom Otterness, puts everything into real time......the display is current and temporary.....it's community....it draws the neighbors in by its' unique beauty and curiosity alone.

But right now, Millie has a really cute, colorful knitted outfit......she is so stylish in her pastel springtime stripes.......

Millie shouts welcome to every passer by--come over and see me--touch me.......

Her charm is inescapable--and she knows it.

Obsessed with Millie, the yarn bomb and the Ulrich........so honored to find out more information from Jessy Clonts Day......the PR Manager at the U:

I feel like WSU and the Ulrich is a very friendly and welcoming place.....how would you like to be perceived in Wichita.
We would like to be considered as the regions source for modern and contemporary art, and that we connect viewers with artists and artworks that reflect our world today.


Are you a public museum.
Yes, we are a public museum! We offer free admission to our galleries, and our 76-piece Martin H. Bush Outdoor Sculpture Collection is always free and always open.


Who can go to your museum........what ages.....is it just for the students of WSU
We encourage anyone and everyone to visit the Ulrich. We offer free admission, parking, and group tours. We also offer bus reimbursement to schools to make field trips easier for educators to plan.


Who runs your museum......who do you answer to......who makes the decision about what art work or expositions will be there.  

The Ulrich Museum of Art is a part of Wichita State University. We do have a staff who runs various departments of the museum, led by our director, Bob Workman.


How and why did you get started with the yarn bomb
Yarn bombing is a type of street art that employs crochet and knitting rather than paint or chalk. It’s a worldwide practice that only seems to be growing in popularity. The Ulrich tries to stay at the forefront of the art of our time, so in spring of 2012 we organized the yarn bombing of around 30 sculptures in the Outdoor Sculpture Collection. The project was overseen by Kristen Beal of Harvester Arts, and the group of volunteers worked through the summer to install the show in September 2012. That yarn bombing was up just over two weeks, and we saw thousands of people come through campus to view them. 

This year we celebrate our 40th anniversary of the Ulrich with the exhibition Forty Years/Forty Stories. Throughout the three galleries on our second floor we highlight the art objects, people, and stories that have shaped the museum since its opening in 1974. The yarn bombing was such a memorable story that we enlisted “Millie’s Knitters” to yarn bomb Tom Otterness’ Millipede (affectionately nicknamed “Millie”) once more. And once more, Millie has received lots of attention! 


To me the yarn bomb makes everything seem so homey welcoming and beautiful........it makes it seem like part of the community and it is fun and I usually do not get that impression about most museums.


Also, how much time does it take, can anyone join their group..........

Millie’s Knitters" is a private group of long-time friends who gather weekly to knit and spend time together. Many of them happen to be Ulrich members, which is how we were able to connect with this group this year. 



Also......do you want to talk about the courtyard and fountain......I love the fountain and my dog gets a nice drink of water every time we walk over there.
The courtyard of the museum came about in a renovation in the mid-90s. At that time the museum commissioned Texas artist Jesus Morales to create three granite structures around the museum entrance: Granite LandscapeGranite Weaving, and Fountain Wall, all made in 1995. The fountain is a gorgeous feature that we love being able to share with the public. In fact, just this afternoon we hosted a reception for the WSU Honors College in the courtyard, and they took a group photo in front of the fountain. And of course for maintenance and upkeep, we turn off the water during the winter months. The water was just turned back on April 25.
