"Power, money, persuasion, supplication, persecution -- these can lift at a colossal humbug -- push it a little -- weaken it a little over the course of a century; but only laughter can blow it to rags and atoms at a blast.
Against the assault of laughter nothing can stand." -Mark Twain

"The political and commercial morals of the United States are not merely food for laughter, they are an entire banquet." |

Title: "Charles Pickering"

Notes/Comment From Sam: |
||||
 | After placing a wreath ceremonially on Martin Luther King, Jr.'s grave, President Bush appointed Charles Pickering to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals. The appointment had been filibustered for months by Congressional Democrats, who objected to Pickering's questionable past. Pickering was accused of racism and supporting segregationist platforms in his youth. Bush ended up using a congressional recess to successfully appoint Pickering.
