Things Really Are Bigger in Texas
This item from John McCaslin's column caught my eye this morning:
"Dear John," reads the "Dear John" letter from Houston.
"In light of your political coverage area, I am writing to you regarding ... Barack Obama's inauguration and to introduce you to Presidential Park and Gardens ... scheduled to open in September of 2009. The park will feature 43 larger-than-life statues of all the United States presidents ... and the Obama sculpture is currently in development with plans for completion by Presidents Day.
"The presidential sculptures are all at least 18 feet in size and weigh an average of 7,000 pounds apiece."
I don't know about you, but this columnist can't wait to travel to Texas and lay my eyes on an 18-foot-tall, overweight replica of Chester A. Arthur.
Chester Arthur, heck. I'd like to see William Howard Taft.
