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.

Ha, that is funny. And great shot as well... Something about the exposure that's really fitting.
