Andrew Jackson was so mean, he once shot a man... just for snoring.

Thought that was John Wesley Hardin?
It. was. a. joke.
A little surrealism involving an ancient pop culture reference and the theme of this thread.
Coolidge wept.
(Hmmm. I could have gone with a Harding for Hardin substitution. Except that Andrew Jackson WAS considered to be kind of mean by some, whereas Harding was a dumbass. AND definitely on the list of worst presidents.)

I'm pretty sure The White Shadow is the only thing from my childhood that won't get rebooted by a Hollywood run out of ideas.
2021 Goals: 50mpw 'cause there's nothing else to do
But before I begin I am using my cell phone, so the format might have not turned out well, but I had to, to get my point across.
Ahhh. But you forgot the "condescending winkie".
Here's an interesting thing that most people don't know unless they read the book...
You know those soldier dudes in Wizard of Oz who chant "Oh-wee-oh, Ohhhhh-oh"?
Those are, officially, Winkies.
And a lot more fun than the smiley kind.

Winkies should be yellow. Only Munchkins were blue

Let's bring this back to politics... (no winkie smiley face here...)
Another interesting thing regarding The Wizard of Oz is that there are a lot of references to the political spectrum of the late 1890s.
Oz = ounce of gold
Yellow brick road relates to the path of the American people while on the gold standard
4 corners of Oz represent the regions within the US
Tin Man relates to the industrial workers
Straw Man relates to the farmers
Lion represents the cowardly people of the time
Munchkins were the little people (voters)
The Wizard represents the president of the US.
All people saw the wizard differently (TinMan, StrawMan, Lion, Dorothy, ...).
To bring it back to Running, the flying monkeys (not the marathon, but the monkeys in the book) are Native Americans who did what they wanted after being moved from their lands.
Great book / Great story.

Hmm.. and I thought it was just a good excuse to munch cheetos, eat hot pockets and listen to Pink Floyd.
