D'ya think she'd have a hard time keeping a straight face with a biography of Chesty Puller?  :confused:

My cousin's kid was assigned a Black History Month biography and asked who she should write about, I suggested the first Black US Army General, BG Benjamin O Davis. She got the highest grade in the class.

BEG you'll have to let us know who she picks! Lots of great choices! Although I am leaning towards Clare Boothe Luce.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle
