A humorist is born

Even today the words of humorist, cowboy, actor Will Rogers can be used to describe how things are going in this country. Rogers was born on Nov. 4, 1879.

"His humor and his comments were always kind. His was no biting sarcasm that hurt the highest or the lowest of his fellow citizens. When he wanted people to laugh out loud, he used the methods of pure fun. And when he wanted to make a point for the good of mankind, he used the kind of gentle irony that left no scars behind it." -- President Franklin Delano Roosevelt
