Bush monument set to be unveiled in Houston

HOUSTON - The unveiling ceremony for a monument to honor former President George Bush is planned for early December.

The George Bush Presidential Monument is located in a Houston park. It's a one-point-seven (m) million dollar project.

One of the project's organizers tells the Houston Chronicle that the monument, which will remain fenced off until the unveiling, is a nonpartisan and privately funded gift to the city by civic leaders and private foundations.

The monument's features include a plaza with a wall featuring four reliefs depicting key moments in the 41st president's career, an eight-foot sculpture, timelines, quotations from Bush speeches and benches for visitors.

It's a piece of territory and a state of mind, located somewhere between Mexico and states that aren't Texas. A place where it's legal for the waitress to kill a visitor for putting ketchup in the gravy of Chicken Fried Streak.

"Where the hell is "Texas"?"

Why . . . in the heart of God's Country.

Thanks for asking.

It'll be trashed by the democrats. They do not respect much of anything other than welfare and their millionaire buddies in Hollywood. Figure out that logic...? Talk about inconsistent knuckle-dragging Darwin contestents....

Is it a standard barocco equestrian monument? I shudder to think of modernist sculpture there...

I wonder if that sculpture is the one by David Adickes that has been in various places (including the Continental Airlines concourse) out at George Bush Houston Intercontinental Airport?

I do understand it and I'm also the idiot who brought an associate down to Corpus Christi with me who DID pour ketchup in his gravy.

The waitress told him she could legally kill him for that (which I can say I didn't approve of but didn't think it was a capital offense). She got a very good tip.

I just heard someone say that if you are in El Paso, you are closer to Los Angeles than you are to Houston........... that kind of blows your mind, doesn't it?
