Ain’t Arkinsaw quaint? I know the first thing I’d do to show off our state is to run them up to Yellville so they could see the yokels drop panicked turkeys out of airplanes. I know they’d want to go because I’d tell rich and rollicking stories about it at every out-of-state conference I attended.

I hope, however, as much as I find mistreatment of dumb animals funny and as much as I like to hoot and holler at this great sport, I wouldn’t have the blind, staggering hypocrisy to make myself the self-anoninted champion of animal cruelty legislation.
