skinned alive


America's most revered writer Mark Twain was at Yale to receive an honorary degree; Theodore Roosevelt, currently ranked fourth best President, was there too. The President let it be known that he rather wanted the likes of Mark Twain to be skinned alive. Twain let it be known that the President was insane; in several ways: "Insanest upon war and its supreme glories."
