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.
Where the hell is "Texas"?
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.
Thems fightin words, partner!!!
So cool!! Texas ping.
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....
Texas? Whats that?
(Hey - you axed for it - no?)
Is it a standard barocco equestrian monument? I shudder to think of modernist sculpture there...
Anyone know where in Houston the statue will be erected?
Ping
Hey, that's true. Texas IS a state of mind - totally! Ya gotta live here to understand it.
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.
DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS
Is there room for another?
Ok - so how many Texans are on this list, anyhow?

No, you don't HAVE to be a Texan to get on this list!
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?
