In the white house is a tiger skin rug, shot and killed many years ago by
Teddy Roosevelt. The feet of the great walk over that tiger skin each
day. It listens to policy being framed and secrets being spoken. Now do
you think that tiger would rather be dead and in the seat of power, or
alive, and walking the jungle of India, sniffing the wind for the scent of
game? -- Neil Gaiman, "Sandman: World's End" (Prez Rickard)
