these darn action figures

[Roger Baker]

Well, I tend to think of Ken lay with every pocket pocket stuffed with 
cash dancing with a cane and straw hat in a corus line with his arm 
linked with GWB like in the Jazz singer or music man or somthing.

Why not have LBJ conduct one of his notorious interviews while sitting 
on the shitter (to save time because his time is far more important than 
anyone else's because he IS THE POTUS . One of his interviewers once 
quoted him; "why do you come and ask me the leader of the western world 
a chickenshit question like that?". For uncouth texas LBJ is the 
timeless symbol in hearts and minds worldwide, not unlike the hairy ranger.)

It would be a crime in itself not to have Hoover wear a dress.
