Capitol Idea:

Capitol Idea: Matt believes "all government capitols look phallic to somehow signify that the most important 'man' lives here." Having lived in the shadow of Florida's capitol for a few years, I have a better theory. These buildings are phallic because government's primary function is to screw people.

But if you shape a capitol like a vagina, it just. Won't. Fly.

I work part-time for a Senator at the Wisconsin State Capitol. I'll never look at it the same way again.
