Barney was Google before Google.

“Who’s the most important man this country ever knew?” (Spike Jones)  Who’s the most important?  “Barney Google, with those goo, goo, googly eyes.”  He was Google before Google.  Barney, the comic strip character, first appeared on this date in 1917.  In fact, I once belonged to a Barney Google fan club.  I liked Spike Jones’ music, too.  Back to the subject, who would you name as our country’s most important person?    ;-)  Jack
