RE: "Stump the Yankee"
Start fixin' the sweet tea! You are correct!
Martha Bulloch Roosevelt, described by her son Pres. Theodore Roosevelt as "an unreconstructed Rebel until her dying day", was the half sister of James Dunwoody Bulloch, a Confederate secret operative in England. Supposedly sent to England with one million dollars in gold, it's thought he may have been responsible for the money Booth got from Patrick Martin in Montreal. So Theodore Roosevelt's uncle may have been a participant in the planned abduction of Lincoln. And Roosevelt was sworn in wearing a ring containing a lock of Lincoln's hair, given to him by John Hay. Strange twists, for sure. I will now adjust the score as I whistle "Dixie", once again. Rebels 18 Yankee 8 I've also added the extra point the Rebels get when Bill shows up. Sorry for the slight. Who made that rule, anyway? "There are few subjects that ignite more casual, uninformed bigotry and condescension from elites in this nation more than Dixie - Jonah Goldberg" |
