In front of the Old City Hall in Boston, there's a bronze sculpture of a donkey with one plaque on a nearby column and another embedded in the ground. The plaque on the column describes how the donkey became the symbol of the Democratic party when Andrew Jackson was labelled a "jackass" in 1828.
I tried to get my co-worker to stand on the other plaque, but he said he didn't want to be in opposition to the donkey.
