May 19, 2008 Mister Ron's Basement #1065
Mon, May 19 2008 Mister Ron's Basement #1065 SUNDAY SALAD features TWO Stanley Huntley stories this week -- the generation gap in politics is hammered out in the 1882 piece, 'Convincing the Governor' and a complicated issue is made even more puzzling in 'Mrs. Spoopendyke on the Tariff' from 1884. We are definitely running out of Spoopendyke stories, but there's lots more Stanley Huntley humor available. Are you interested in continuing Sunday Salad without the Spoopendykes, or should we move on to something else? Please drop us a line and let us know!
