Mark Twain in his signature “Don’t Give a Damn” white suit. The first true American.
(Self indulgence week runs over a couple of days, since I didn’t manage to put up the remaining clips in time, on account of having to rebuilt the site after it was hacked. I have now intstalled 3 miles of razor wire, machine gun posts and watch towers).

Thank God you’re back. Last week some awful site came up under smashingtelly.com. What was that rubbish? I was really worried you had gone.

I like the wee film, Twain/Clemens is one of my favorite people and the young woman adjusting her hat pins reminds me of my gran.
