I'm going to park this information here, as I think it is too valuable to lose and I don't have the time right now to seek publication so that it can be included on Wikipedia. If you are an author and would like to publish this information, please contact me.

− George lived on royalty payments from "The Old Rugged Cross" and a group of childrens songs which he co-wrote and sold. George suffered from asthma and would smoke medical marijuana to combat asthma attacks. Later in life, Bennard became a recluse at his California (and later Michigan) home and took to drinking alcohol. Neighbors in California complained to local authorities of his unkempt appearance (stained shirt, ragged clothes, long hair/beard) and one time they tried to have him removed from a local gathering because they mistook him for a vagabond. He later died of complications due to his alcholism.

Dear Grammarxxx, I would never create a personal attack page, but thank you for your concern. Paululrich (talk) 22:09, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

With reference to your posting on my talk page; as a UK national, and speaking personally, I have to say that I have serious distaste for Hilary Clinton. Nevertheless, in my view your article as it stands is an attack on the lady which is not acceptable here. Her testimony is available in full if anyone chooses to download it. If you do not feel that your article is an attack perhaps you would care to explain why you chose this particular piece of her testimony to highlight?--Anthony Bradbury^"talk" 22:39, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

Let us not be silly here: the article was posted by you, not by some nebulous "media". And my comments stand. --Anthony Bradbury^"talk" 23:02, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

Sir, I can assure you that I'm not being silly. Yes, I did post a Wikipedia article about a phrase. Yes, the phrase was not chosen by me, but by media sources as a popular catchphrase. I realize that being in the UK you are not bombarded by the use of this phrase over and over again in news articles, posts, cartoons, etc. etc. Does that make sense? Paululrich (talk) 23:07, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

Not really, no.--Anthony Bradbury^"talk" 23:11, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

OK, I need you to slow down for a minute and reread this. I think you are just reading too fast. Maybe now is a good time to turn in, it should make more sense tomorrow. I think you are skimming my posts and didn't read the entire article or click on my references either. My point is that in American media, there are literally hundreds of references to this misquote. MY wikipedia article describes this phenomenon - sort of like the phrase "the buck stops here" was attributed to Harry S. Truman. Its the same deal here. And there is a wiki page on that. Unless you deleted it already? J/K!!Paululrich (talk) 23:28, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

- Hello Mdandrea,

I am not a Sockpuppet. I don't know what the original page said, I made my article from scratch to explain the pervasive use of the phrase in question and to explain how it has risen to prominence and explain where it came from and clarify that it is a misquote.

Please see that as I spent a lot of time making that article.

Running a conversation on three different pages leads to confusion. Please continue this thread either at my page, or the article talk-page or, ideally, nowhere. Because nowhere is where it is going. --Anthony Bradbury^"talk" 23:05, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

You say on my talk page that you are not Paul Ulrich, which your username tends to contradict. In any case, I have no inytention of changing any decisions I have made. Goodnight.--Anthony Bradbury^"talk" 23:09, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

Anthony, I never said on your talk page or anywhere else that I wasn't Paul Ulrich. Please clarify to me why you are saying that. (you can copy and paste it or something please, that would be great). Sorry for keeping you up so late, sleep well my friend. -cheers, Paululrich (talk) 23:12, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

Anthony, P Lease bear with me here, I don't have as much wikipedia experience as you. However, I feel as though you are reading things too quickly and judging too quickly. Please slow down and consider my words. You are misconstruing them and reading things into them that are not there. I am having a hard time keeping up with you. If it is OK with you, I think there should be a page on the phrase in question - similar to the one on "The Buck Stops here" - it is another popular phrase that was coined by an American Politician. Now there seems to be another phrase that is beginning to come into popular use. Do you think it is too early for a wikipedia page on this? I've already posted it on my own website, so I don't really care if this knowledge resides on wikipedia or not. However, you are wrong about the fact that my article was in any way a personal attack article, and you are wrong that I'm a sockpuppet. I make over $50 an hour and my time is worth money and I would hope you would see my work was original and belonged on wikipedia. I would urge you to not be so rash in the future though. But I appreciate what you are trying to do, and if you don't think this article belongs on wikipedia, then so be it, I'm subject to your decision. Paululrich (talk) 23:36, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
