As far as bully Republican’s go, Teddy Roosevelt was THE MAN! Unlike his rough rider persona, rumor has it he would caw like a crow when stoned. ---

I used to own a Red Ryder BB gun. I probably still do, but I have no idea where it must be. By the way, Robert Blake was Little Beaver in the Red Ryder movies. He was also in **Treasure of the Sierra Madre**. Fancy that. ---

Since it has been speculated that our oil supply is based mostly on the decayed remains of old trees and dinosaurs, have you ever wondered what important fuel source will be left from decaying human beings? Will beings in the 30th century have some “fossil fuels” that spring from human leavings? What will the brand names be, you reckon? ---
