"According to all reports,"
said John, "this McCarthy-Army affair makes
a pretty good television show. But to us poor
people who can't enjoy television, or whose
station never carries any programs except canned
corn and commercials, the Potomac production
seems about the silliest thing in the history of
the United States Government." |

Seeing George W. make a run for the
presidency reminds me of the last election, when
he beat the pants off the opposition. The
headlines just after the election read,
"Liberals Find Little Joy at Polls."
Little Joy was the stage name of a burlesque
stripper. The liberals were mortified to find her
there but had to recognize her presence because
she knew them all by name: "Hi Cuddles, Hi
Peaches, Hi Sweetie." |

A cowboy named Elton Howard imitated
ewes bleating and calves bawling better than any
of the other hands at the old ranch. He had
plenty of time to practice as he worked for the
family from 1946 up into the 1980s. The pastures
he looked after are a slick ledge rock country,
covered with juniper cedars entwined in oak
shinnery and prickly pear cactus. Such
inhospitable terrain for man and his horse
requires all the tricks of the trade. |

Sometimes I think I had the best
possible education. It was in a small, small
world — stable, safe and compassionate. |

I've always wanted to own a winning race
horse but never could afford one. So I bought a
pig instead. Not just any old hog, silly — a
racing pig! |

One of the topics I get saddled with
teaching at the Bobwhite Brigade is
"population dynamics." In six years,
I’ve never felt like I did the topic
justice. |

Biotin, a member of the "B"
complex of vitamins, has received a lot of press
as a cure-all for hoof problems in horses. We
often hear comments like, "The feet on my
horse look bad. I think I’ll get some
biotin." |
