Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.
H. L. Mencken
“Someday Louisiana is going to get ‘good government.’ And when they do, they ain’t going to like it.”

Earl Kemp Long (August 26, 1895 – September 5, 1960) was an American politician and three-time Democratic governor of Louisiana, who termed himself the “last of the red hot poppas” of politics, referring to his stump-speaking skills. He served from 1939–1940, 1948–1952, and 1956–1960.
