Honked off, probably. But not surprised.

On the other hand, some people deserve no respect.

Perhaps debatable in these parts, but I assert that John Adams did more for this nation's founding and early survival than anyone.

For what it's worth, I was unable to locate the bust on this website.

I would not argue, M. Shawn A., but have the mild quibble that Adams was not the only indispensable man.
