Comments:   As of this writing (mid-2003), versions of this paean to 
political incorrectness have been floating around for three years, falsely 
attributed to George Carlin, 
<http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/bl-tednugent.htm>Ted Nugent, 
<http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/bl-andyrooney.htm>Andy Rooney, Denis 
Leary and others. Carlin 
<http://urbanlegends.about.com/library//gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://www.georgecarlin.com/georgecarlin/home/dontblame.html>disavowed 
it on his Website. A variant ran in Ted Nugent's Adventure Outdoors 
Magazine in early 2001, but the politically outspoken rock star didn't take 
credit for it and other versions had already appeared elsewhere on the 
Internet.

More than one person has laid claim to authorship of the piece, but the 
likeliest candidate to date was a frequent contributor to FreeRepublic.com 
under the nickname 
"<http://urbanlegends.about.com/library//gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a3b21fbab4b27.htm>Bootyist 
Monk."  The earliest known posting, entitled 
"<http://urbanlegends.about.com/library//gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a39b09d010a26.htm>I 
Am a Bad Republican," was dated September 1, 2000.

Anyone plan on hiking?
