Statue of Union

90 feet, 90 tons, bronze, a monkey-faced deity holding a gold mace tail curled like a question mark against the big Texas sky.

Hunaman, Bajrang Bali, the Statue of Union.

Let that sink in.

The Statue of Union.

Because nothing says unity like a cable news comment section having a collective aneurysm.

I stood there in the west heat, mosquitoes drilling into my neck like they were trying to install something.
