A solid 18-karat gold toilet possibly worth more than $4 million was stolen Saturday from an art exhibit in the family home of Winston Churchill.

The toilet, titled “America,” was created by Maurizio Cattelan. It was on display in a larger exhibit featuring Cattelan’s work at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire, England.

“At first, when they woke me up this morning with the news,” Cattelan said in an email to The New York Times, “I thought it was a prank: Who’s so stupid to steal a toilet? I had forgotten for a second that it was made out of gold.”

    In other news today Rep. Nadler has insinuated that he has the infamous Moscow 'pee tape'.

Yet another...Why didn't I think of that!? moment.
I should have stolen that!

Oh wait. Just found out that the whole thing is bullshit. It was a commode painted with gold spray paint.
There is no gold there. It is the illusion of arte...
I'm sure the thieves are going to have a fun time selling their art.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.
