A facelift for Mount Rushmore

February 28th, 2008

There is going to be a big announcement made at Mount Rushmore South Dakota this spring. Apparently there is someone that wants to put another face on the mountain, the face of Ronald Regan. The fund raising has begun as the sculpting of a face this big is not a small undertaking. It has not been mentioned who the sculpture will be done by although there have been rumors that a local man would be in charge. The official announcement is designed to illicit public opinion about the project. Opinions will be gathered for several months before the final decision is made to authorize the go ahead on the project. Most people thought there was no more room on the mountain for another sculpture but after years of computer models a way was found to actually take some of the removed rock and reattach it therefore making it possible to get one more head up there. There were several suggestions as to who’s head should actually be put there. Al Gore was dismissed immediately as were Bill Clinton and George Bush. Some thought we should wait for Hillary Clinton to become president and put her up there. Obama immediately objected to that suggestion.
