Nope. That'd be John Wayne. Funny how you inserted rigid in that description. Very telling. ;)

Nine dems aren't acting vafrously
Here they're on a bull running spree
Chased by the heifer
(Looks like a zephyr)
Not one seems able to break free.

I've been to a funeral service that turned a simple eulogy into a business op. That was a vafrous and pathetic abuse of a memorial.

Bogart can't hold a candle to Sean or Paul Newman. Heck he didn't even live long enough to compare him at their ages.

I thought for sure you'd have posted Mel! They're running The Patriot on TV as much as Braveheart lately.
