I have to stop reading these, because every time there's an animal mentioned I want to adopt it. It's a miracle that my menagerie doesn't already include various birds, livestock and animals with small hands.

Oh man, an alligator-in-a-hammock tattoo is the best idea I've ever heard as well. I might have to steal that one for myself. I know, I'll put it right next to my donkey-playing-golf tattoo. Its gunna be sweeeeeeet!

The flamin' Federalist Papers were anonymous, for crying out loud. And so were the Anti-Federalist Papers. Guess what? Both sides were filled with negative statements. Somehow the republic survived.
