Sparky is a serious student of history and Teddy Roosevelt is one of his favorites, especially Teddy's maxim "Speak softly and carry a big stick." Since Sparky weighs in at only 5-1/2 pounds, he has modified it to: "Speak loudly and carry a tiny twig." As you might imagine, he is a fan of preempts.
