Of course! D.C. needs a statue!

Now why hasn't anyone in Congress thought of this. Lately there has been much chatter about the need to makeover our international image and to regain the trust of the world. The noble folk of Zitiste, Serbia have come up with an [elegant plan](http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/6353659.stm) to negate a bad rep and rehabilitate their town's image as a jinxed locale. This did not go unnoticed in the nearby town of Medja which has taken the idea to heart and now plans its [own statue](http://uk.news.yahoo.com/16022007/323/serb-village-erect-monument-famous...). So by logical extension, our lawmakers need to quit spending their time on all the hand-wringing and resolution passing and rather launch a statue initiative. But of whom? Any suggestions Code0rangers? Bruce Lee works for me.

I thought Philly took down

I thought Philly took down their "Rocky" statue. Maybe the serbs can just buy it.

Or maybe just name something that's already there

Not to be outdone by Serbia, the marketing department of the nation of Kyrgyzstan is renaming the big hulking geographical features of its fair land instead of erecting some puny statue. [Take this!](http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/12/20/asia/AS-ODD-Kyrgyzstan-Santa-C...) North Pole! Perhaps the current administration of the good ole US of A can pick some peak with a banal name (Mt. Snow anyone?) and call it Mount Great Pumpkin! Take THAT al Qaeda! That'll show 'em. Especially since The Great Pumpkin never actually manages to show up and breaks the hearts of little kids. Kinda fits.
