A Piece of Political History
While I was in Chicago, I could not miss the opportunity to visit the Jason Farbman monument(at least that's what Jason Farbman told me). It was erected in 2003 by his faithful political followers. Being members of the green party, they were of course short on funds. Luckily one of them had the bright idea to raid a nearby orphanage and steal all the lego blocks. They used the toy building bricks to construct one of those most realistic depictions of Mr. Farbman in his campaign days, and they called it "The Benchsitter". Here I am with the famous statue!!!

I'm sure someone out there (?) will call me an egotist for being the first to comment on this...
1. You look completely disgusted to be seen with my statue. I know this look well from you being completely disgusted to be seen with me.
2. I understand why there's a bird on my head, but is that a nest between it and my hair?!?
yes that is a nest between it and your hair. apparently the builders believed that if you had been sitting on a bench, you would've been so committed to sitting on that bench that not even a chicken nesting on your head and laying eggs would've gotten you to move. i think it really speaks volumes about your character as a politician. also, i think the cracked egg on your shoulder was at one time bird poop, but somebody thought it took something away from the power of the statue
