Every time you leave the Houston Airport now you are greeted with a colored picture in granite (how did they do this technically) of our mayor, Mr. Brown.

Unfortunately, the cost for this large granite tombstomb with picture cost about $250,000 each. I understand from newspaper reports that there is no way to put the next mayor's picture in there -- to say "thanks" for visiting the airport.

It was a one time deal for Mr. Brown. So he gets a free campaign ad, at Houston's expense.

Yes, I saw the sign once when I had to drive someone to IAH. Thankfully, I always fly Southwest from Hobby, where there is no picture of the idiot...yet.

I was wondering if we were going to be able to replace that photo. Dagnabbit!

He's also the mayor that spent 5,000 dollars to learn public speaking so that he could give a "State of the City" address. I think it was $5k.

But there is a way to remove Brown's ugly mug from that ediface - dyn-o-mite!

The demolition of that abuse of tax dollars would be a good way to kick off the post-Brown Houston renaissance.

They could raise funds by auctioning off the honors to man the demolition plunger.

They could sell raffle tickets to attend the destruction of Brown 'legacy' and pay for at least a portion of the waste he has wrought on the city of Houston.
