Ex-mayor erects statue of himself at Michigan home
DAVISON TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — The former mayor of Flint, Mich., who resigned in 2009 while facing a recall has erected a bronze statue of himself outside the gated entrance to his home.
The Flint Journal reports that the statue of Don Williamson in Genesee County's Davison Township, near Flint, is surrounded by six bronze lions.
On the base of the statue are the words: "The Colonel's Inc. Founded by Donald J. Williamson May 10, 1984. His motto 'Success is the best revenge.'"
Williamson says the statue was made 20 years ago and was originally displayed at The Colonel's Inc., the auto parts firm where he made his fortune.
Williamson says the lions were imported by his wife. Of the lion statues, he joked: "Careful, one of them is alive."

@Kushfan  If you've got an itch........
@Kushfan ...and I thought Viagra was the solution for that permanent erection problem.
@WendyTeagarden ......good one Wendy
Dammit... and here I was wondering why they made a bronze stay-puffed statue.
 Probably the only thing this guy can... erect!!!!
I'm sure some enterprising meth-head will soon be rewarded for a little clever late night effort.
@Icarus  Nah. The lions will get 'em
If you are going to do it, do it right! Put yourself on a horse with your sword in hand leading a charge. Don't go with frumpy and dumpy.
Wow. How much bravado can someone be filled with !
Everyone should have one.
@Jamie But cheat on the waistline size next time.
I like it.

I thought it should be shaped more phallic.
 @Icarus He tried but, alas, he failed.Â
