All my heros are cowboys.

Hate to break the news to you, but Wayne was an actor playing the role of a cowboy. How many cowboys do you know that lived in Hollywood?

Only John Wayne.

I'm just curious, are you a conservative or a liberal?

"How many cowboys do you know that lived in Hollywood?"

Tom Mix, for starters.

Ronald Reagan is another.

And so was John Wayne: being a cowboy has more to do with a state of mind than it does with smelling like horse.

And anytime you hear some effete Easterner speak the word "cowboy" disparagingly, you know which side of the fence *it" sits on...
