"Tommy"

From Chris Berry:

This picture from April 5, 1995 shows then Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich along with Senate Majority Leader Robert Dole on east side of the US Capitol. In light of post 9/11 security measures - along with the influence of groups such as PETA - I suspect a photo opportunity of this nature is more than likely a thing of the past.

At the conclusion of last nights basketball games and the news from Lybia, I went to bed with plesant thoughts of the Lockerbee Bomber being re-apprehended and his rehabilitive process transferred to Git-Mo.

When King Tusk (Tommy) was featured with RBBB, George Hanneford said to me, "Tommy has worked every major Shrine date at least twice and now that he is on Ringling with their publicity machine the American public will be seeing him for the first time."

King Tusk and Tony the white tiger. The only valid animal legends in the history of modern circus. The rest were just elephants and felines in the era of King Tusk and Tony.

I agree Bugs Bunny and Wiley Coyote were just a pair of smart asses.
