Paging P.T. Barnum

Via Sullivan, news that a lady in Oregon actually fell for the Nigeria email scam, sending the con-artists a total of $400,000. Clearly, this lady is born every minute.

Ah, America

One of our country's great attributes, I think, is its ability to produce just the most outrageous--and oddly capable--characters imaginable, from Benjamin Franklin to P.T. Barnum to Snoop.

Well, I think we can add a minor character to that list: Rocky Twyman. He sounds like something out of a Wodehouse novel, and has probably caused more scratched heads than anyone now living.
