Will Rogers - Bacon, Beans, and Limousines

[uller999]

@BEATINKCASS

The inflection, speaking speed, and syllable pronunciation are still there depending on where you are in the state. Some of the interruptives, and words are considered antiquated and not seen unless the individual is very old.

do many modern okies still talk like him or have they all been modernised?

@BEATNIKCASS We sound even worse now.

Will Rogers was my 4th cousin! Too bad he was a Democrat! That ought to raise a fuss! :)

[raznfrats]

Boy, he had that right! It's amazing how bad people are with history; they keep repeating it!

[TheodoreMcFail]

If you say "a more equal distribution of the wealth in the country," then people will call you a Socialist. It's funny how history keeps repeating itself, over and over again.

We need a Will Rogers in 2012..... how/where can we find another one who will speak the truth in a manner that all people can understand and without the use of filth language....

[MsCatzi]

@echovarde at the risk of starting a fight... to a certain extent we had one, still do. Bill Clinton. Now, I won't say his ideas were perfect. I will say the thing that Will Rogers did was focus on what we need to DO, not who to blame, how bad it is, but WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? And what "vehicle" can we use to get there? My opinoin: JOBS! Reward those who create AMERICAN jobs, TAX those who send jobs away from America.
