Davy Crockett, Taxation, and... Bears?

ESPN reported the five-year-old tenth great-grandson of Davy Crockett killed a 400+ pound bear. The irony here is that Davy Crockett himself (legend has it) also killed a bear at a similar age.

Crockett, Representative from Tennessee, perhaps delivered the best, and today, most ignored, speech since the institution of the Union.

Not Yours to Give

And as CNN's Wolf Blitzer pointed out one Congressman's vote against awarding Rosa Parks a gold medal, one can only wonder how far we've come as a nation.

Hopefully this kid will continue to take after his descendants. We could sure go for another Davy Crockett.
