I just saw Lindsay Graham on Cspan, and he's short. Some joker on Yahoo said he's 4'6", that can't be right, can it?

1. Why must we always insult the short
One french dictator nearly conquers Europe and the rest of us are living with the ill will for centuries.

6. Napolean wasn't actually short. He was 5'6", which wasn't too short back in his time.

7. I care deeply. This is Science, man
I'm constructing a senatorial height chart to hang on the wall of my study, so I can plot voting patterns by stature. This is in no way to be construed as a slam against the vertically challenged.

4. Babs Boxer is famous for being short. They have a "boxer box" for her to stand on by the lectern.

9. 4'8.5" ? we're all a lot shorter than we used to be, and to get us...
home, to get ALL of us home, that's what you have the privilege of doing at Duke of Madness Motors here at the edge of the New World
Order Freeway. That's Duke of Madness Mufflers, where we're always welcome to meeting wives...and strangers, and discounting everything that remains, every day. From noon til noon.

HELLO dear friends, this IS Alister Crowley, owner and operator of Duke of Madness Motors. And you know, dear friends, there's a whole lot to see in this town of ours. KIDS? What ABOUT the kids? Bring 'em on down and we'll fit 'em each out with a robot of their own so they can get out and see it too.

Thank you.
