… that Mount Rushmore was America’s grandest outcropping of kitsch.
No, no, they’d say! I went there in the fourth grade with my family and we all thought it was awesome!

WE HAVE GOT TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. If it takes a Go Fund Me page; if it takes bake sales all over this land, my lord, all over this land; if it takes sacrifice sacrifice and more sacrifice, this has got to happen.

Will it be as great as Carhenge? No. But it will be great.

We went there in — pretty close to the fourth grade — and it wasn’t there. It was completely fogged in (out?). From the main overlook we couldn’t see anything but fog.

Some years ago there was a TV commercial for a Jet Ski. The setting was the eight graders “What I did on my summer vacation” presentations. The presenter has professionally done pictures of himself riding his Jet Ski, flying over wakes, bouncing on waves, making tremendous amounts of noise and spray and flying through the air.
The camera pans to the next kid who has a plastic model of Mount Rushmore and a look of dread and despair.
