[AGL] Monuments to bad taste

[Fontaine Maverick]

Okay, when Walt and I went to Houston about four years ago, Clark took us to 
a place he called the Presidents Heads museum. It was not a museum, really, 
but giant sculptures of every president - in a big lot in Houston somewhere 
(maybe near the beer can museum/house?). I got a picture of Clark standing 
in the shadow of Lyndon, but I cant find it. I have since looked for a 
website, but could not find it either. Maybe you know.
