Fiddling Monkeys!






Today is Clarence Darrow’s birthday. He defended both John Scopes in the famed Tennessee Monkey Trial and successfully kept Leopold and Loeb from getting the death penalty.

I laughed out loud this morning when I read this quote from Darrow: "I never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with a lot of pleasure."

Some days I know how he felt.
