What are they going to shoot them with? Rubberbands?
I thought guns were for all practical purposes outlawed in the peoples republic of Massachusetts.

That's a pretty obscure word, going back to Middle English.

You've probably heard about George Smathers' "redneck speech":

Are you aware that Claude Pepper is known all over Washington as a shameless extrovert? Not only that, but this man is reliably reported to practice nepotism with his sister-in-law, he has a brother who is a known homo sapiens, and he has a sister who was once a thespian in wicked New York. Worst of all, it is an established fact that Mr. Pepper, before his marriage, habitually practiced celibacy.

Supposedly, this horrified rural Florida voters and they rejected Pepper in the Democrat primary (which was the real election in Florida at the time). Pepper did win in the subsequent primary, in 1952.

However, the speech never actually occurred. It was dreamed up by reporter, and reported as fact by Time magazine. The campaign denied it, and the reporters covering the campaign confirmed it was a hoax, but it never went away.

Sorry, too early in the morning and I need to change the lens in my glasses.

Pepper subsequently won in 1962, not 1952.

First they come for the Noose. Then they come for the Elk. Then they comfort the Shriners.

They run up and down the street here in our neighborhood and they ate my sunflowers a couple of weeks ago. They eat everything in sight.

Tell the MA moose hunters to come down to GA and hunt deer. We are lousy with them.
