Last week I plucked shamelessly at my readers’ heartstrings. I asked all of you to dig deep into your sofa cushions and pull out a dime that you could mail me to benefit ex-Sen. Larry Craig’s ongoing courtroom commode woes. The “Save Wide Stance Larry” fund was born. Well, I’m proud to report that the lack of economic common sense out there is astounding. No wonder the country is trillions in the hole. Speaking of which, I argued that Craig’s 2007 quest for love in an airport men’s room had provided all of us with at least a dime’s worth of comedy. Even so, I figured that nobody with access to a calculator or even the intellect of Dennis Rodman would waste 46 cents on a stamp in order to donate 10 cents on behalf of one of Idaho’s biggest bozos. What a miscalculation/Doug Clark, SR. More here.
Question: Will you contribute a dime to the “Saving Wide Stance Larry” fund?
