I'd previously mentioned the cranky article in the City Pages about the ice palace, here. Today, in the City Pages there was a letter from a reader protesting, which read in part as follows:

Lighten up, Jim! Yes, the Ice Palace is a pointless spectacle, but as pointless spectacles go, it's a pretty good one: It's one-of-a-kind, visually arresting, and temporary. It's the Buddhist sand painting of the northern tribes.

The Buddhist sand painting of the northern tribes, eh?

I thought that was funny.
