Kathy Taylor donated $16,000 to create the Tulsa Mayor’s Library, or as I call it, the Look-at-Me-and-Justify-My-Existence Library.

“My family and I wanted to give a lasting punishment gift to the city,” Taylor said.

As if the Borg Cube City Hall, unnecessary downtown ballpark and the $7 million payout from property taxes for a loan that a defunct airline owed the Bank of Oklahoma, weren’t a gift enough.

Located on the 15th floor of the City Hall, tour groups and those who make appointments can view the huge ego collection, rewritten history and angelic photos of Tulsa’s former mayors.  There will also be individual video interviews of past mayors, unless they’re dead.  In that case, Wilford Brimley will step into the role.

At least the homeless will have new material to read.  By now, I’m sure they’ve read everything at Central Library.  Tulsa’s homeless live there during open hours.

I just hope that on opening night there is a huge ice sculpture, positioned with the left hand daintily over the groin, the right hand gently covering the breasts and the hair blowing in the breeze.

Thousands would travel for miles to see the ice sculpture of our most famous former mayor and say, “Wow, Inhofe looks magnificent.”
