"If you control the press. And, and so that was in 2001. And at the time we really didn't know." "Knowing that I learned the lesson to know unless you find you're giggling and caroling us can't have Kansas fighting rotting this of sunshine muggles."

Much Appreciation for W McGraw Accomplishments AND YET

Championship bull riding takes seconds and the bull rider has a sizable support staff with the clown and pickup men. Ditto the military with its huge support staff and the comradery of others. Granted combat engagements are a longer grind than bull riding; nevertheless, Mr McGraw offers little to those folk in the world who are the one and only care giver for a permanently disabled adult child (or parent or sibling). Caregiving can be a unrelenting daily grind with no pickup men or corps members to provide support. Caregivers don’t deal with dangerous animals except sometimes an inner beast; caregivers don’t engage with enemies of our country but sometimes they have to fight the good fight to stop themselves from becoming an enemy to the folk for whom they care. Great leaders and the movers and shakers come and go. However, my accolades belong to those who pick up the pieces left after the leader passed by
