MANIFESTO

I see that Deadeye Dick has apologized for the impolitic remark he made recently concerning inbreeding in the Mountain State.

Meanwhile, West Virginia Senator Robert Byrd (There've been Byrds in that area of the country since the 17th century, so draw your own conclusions regarding the senator's genetic makeup.) has been hospitalized yet again—this time for "lethargy and sluggishness." Perhaps his recent Senate melodrama took too much out of him. At any rate, West Virginia's tourist commission may think of the state as "wild and wonderful," but that's certainly not the condition of its senior senator.
