Wow, did Jerry Sandusky write that review?
Bravo on the footnote, Nojo!
@Serolf Divad:
Or it is cruel unintentional irony.

And I thought Newt was the alternate-history writer. I’m sure this book mentions the Xtian Pilgrims were running away from larger Xtian sects in Europe so they could make sure everybody toed the line and worshiped Baby Jesus in the only correct way. No?
I did not know the Pilgrims were elephants. This really puts a whole new vision in my head of the first Thanksgiving. It could explain a lot about how pumpkins became so popular in the fall.
You’ve gotta love the historic accuracy of the symbol of the GOP dressed like a Pilgrim in 1620 waving the flag of a nation that won’t exist for more than 150 years. Top that, Newt!
I understand Steven Colbert is giving them as Xmas gifts this year.
