It's all so incestuous.

Do the Armstrongs fancy themselves kingmakers? Above the law? Any law? Where were they in the 1940s? 30s?

His name shows up as scum constantly. He reminds me of a little fat Pillsbury dough man who has the charisma of an unshelled snail.

The album belonged to an old family friend of the Armstrongs and chronicled the good times they all had at the Ranch over the years.

A much younger Karl's picture showed him, with hair on his head, grinning over a wild boar he had killed.

Perfect.

Is this the guy who is really running our government? Neither W or Cheney utters a word without his permission.
