Cronnolly (M&E) would be libertarian, I suppose?
Although with a bore that wide, perhaps the gun lobby mgiht be a better choice…

I’ve found there to be quite a few big bores, across the political spectrum.

I would have thought the Goldie Overton was the libertarian’s whistle of choice.
Freeman tweaked whistles of any sort are obviously for Independents.
Actually, Jubilee Instruments used to make the Saturday Night Special whistle - I’m thinking of bringing that name back.
BTW - What does ‘Keyed Demographic’ mean anyway?

Heh! Who knows.
BTW, you had the same idea I had about the Channukah menorah, with whistles, but I gave up on mine. Your animated version is much better.
Busman-- endorsed by the Teamster’s Union
OT -
Almost forgot:
Serpent - Whistles of Mass Destruction
Better watch it Bill, Bush is coming after you next!
Actualy I’ve been thinking of making PVC tubes (for holding whistles) that are painted and with a end cap and calling them “Whistle Silos”.

Okay… Where the heck is Aderyn our Spelling Cop when you need her!?
Is it:
Or should we play “spin the dredl” to find out?
You can spell it several ways since it’s not an english word and doesn’t easily fit. The letter Chof is a guteral consonant and some use CH to depict it, others use H. Most do not pronounce the guteral sound in english.
Oh well, just spin the driedel. (How many way do you spell that word)
Hey Serp! Where are you hiding those whistles of Mass Destruction.
When people have trouble making that Ch sound, I just tell them to pronounce “yech” ( sometimes spelled “yuch”) and go for that sound.
