Good Lord, the "ultimate American dream" is not having a statue of your
likeness placed in Congress.  Nightmare, actually.

The ultimate American dream is clearly having a massive heart attack
while eating prime rib and relaxing in a swimming pool full of cocaine
along with the entire cast of the Victorias Secret Angels retinue
dressed in satin thongs.

Or something like that.

If my statue were placed in Congress I would consider myself trapped in
the halls of the people I loathe the absolute most.  I would use all my
celestial strength to become a ghost so that I could haunt the place,
make the toilets perpetually flush backwards, maybe make a couple of
choice idiots permanently mute, drop a vase on Lauren Boebert's head,
that kind of thing.
