GET ME REWRITE: Meet the Manitowoc Chubbies, still obsessed with the "War on Christmas" and dismissive of the virus

 

Chubby Shae (left) represents the 2nd District in the State Assembly.  Chubby Paul represents the 25th District.  Both, of course, are Republicans.

Meanwhile, what say you, Chubby Shae and Chubby Paul, about this?

The popularity of Roger as a baby name is graphed here.  Let's take a look at Sheldon.

Sheldon's best years during the late 1920s into the early 1940s, when he spent 16 years in the top 300, peaking at #247 in 1936.  "The Big Bang Theory", which debuted in 2007, pretty much killed him off.
