Believe it or Not


Believe it or not: The U.S. Congress was so unpopular during the American Revolution that its detractors named it "King Congress." The name was later shortened to "King Kong." (Uncle John's Legendary Lost Bathroom Reader, p. 275)

I know what all my anarchist friends are thinking: Didn't we kill King Kong?

FEATURED QUOTE

"It is the logic of our times
No subject for immortal verse
That we who lived by honest dreams
Defend the bad against the worse."

-- Cecil Day-Lewis from Where Are The War Poets?
