There wasn't any Republicans in Washington's day. No Republicans, no Boll Weevil, no income tax, no cover charge, no disarmament conference, no luncheon clubs, no stop lights, no static, no head winds. My Lord, living in those days, who wouldn't be great?
Will Rogers
Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today it's called golf.
Will Rogers
