I have gone down the wiki wormhole of German Westerns (both literature, as in Karl May, whose works were frequently adapted by West Germany, and the equivalent works made by East Germany.)
And one gets quotes like this, regarding one of Karl May's non-Western works:
And of course this character is basically Arab Tonto:

FYI Hillary: 5'7" Bernie: ? Trump: 6'2" Rubio: 5'10" Hillary would/will be the shortest president since 1901. This is, of course, the main reason Hillary's campaign is historic.

Is it wrong that one of the reasons I hope he becomes President is because we haven't had a September-born president since Taft?

No serious 2016 candidate, current or withdrawn, was born in April. In fact, quickly googling some possible 2020-2028 candidates on both sides, the only April birthday I see is Cory Booker's.

From the otherwise forgotten 2007 film ( Return of the Thin Olive Duke, that's your area!) "Who's Your Caddy?": The film had received negative reviews from critics. In particular, many critics have deemed this film a "terrible rip-off" of Caddyshack.[2][3][4][5] Overall it is ranked a "Rotten" rating of 6% on Rotten Tomatoes, with the consensus calling the film "unoriginal, unfunny, and just plain forgettable."[6] However, former U.S. president Bill Clinton "loves" the film.[7][8]

There’s a box at the top of the Jenna Maroney wikipedia page noting the article “has multiple issues” and “may require cleanup.” I assume the cleanup would be done in much the same was as on Mickey Rourke’s sex grill.

On the page for Pierre, South Dakota.In 2015, in honor of the game's 80th birthday, Hasbro held an online vote in order to determine which cities would make it into an updated version of the Monopoly Here and Now: The US Edition of the game. The top Boardwalk spot went to an unexpected contender: Pierre. It got the highest number of votes, beating out cities like New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Boston.[17][18]

I fell down a wiki-wormhole this weekend, and discovered Count Noble, a hunting dog from the 19th century. Evidently, "He was so famous that owners of other setters refused to compete in shows with him." The article goes on to state he was "A large white-black-tan dog, long in the body and not considered a well proportioned setter. He weighed sixty pounds.". This would likely not satisfy Mr. Kormuth, the impetus behind a historical marker dedicated to Count Noble near the former site of his owner's house. Per the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:
Mr. Kormuth often went to the Carnegie Museum to admire the 25-foot-long display that featured Count Noble hunting in autumn. On a 1999 visit, before the display was shipped to the Tennessee museum, he overheard a 10-year-old girl say, "Ooooh, there's a dog in there."
Mr. Kormuth said to himself, "Girl, that's not a dog, that's Count Noble."
This is the accompanying picture. Looking at it now, I think, "Yup, that's a dog. He... looks like a perfectly fine dog." I'm not seeing what would make me say, "MY DOG CANNOT COMPETE WITH THIS DOG IN A DOG SHOW. HE IS SIMPLY TOO MAGNIFICENT!"
He also has a Facebook page (of course) where you can see an image of the marker Kormuth pushed for, pictured here, describing him as "the greatest dog that ever lived". The whole experience left me feeling enough like Ben Wyatt that I had to go back and rewatch the "Lil' Sebastian" episode of Parks and Rec.

Big Lonely Doug is a semi-famous Douglas fir tree on Vancouver Island. However, when you search for it on Wikipedia, it comes back with a helpful prompt: Did you mean big lovely dong?
