You may be right. I like your imagery. This could be fun to watch. Many years ago our Governor in Louisiana, Earl Long, went totally psychotic in public. It was a hoot to watch. He traveled across country psychotic as a bedbug with a stripper, Blaze Starr. One of my fonder memories. He was committed to the state hospital while governor, called a meeting of the hospital board and fired the superintendant of the hospital and liberated himself. Maybe Kerry will go totally off,,wouldn't that be a pleasure to watch!!

The movie about him "Blaze" was a real hoot.

How close was it historically to the real deal?

"Blaze Starr."

Oh my, haven't heard that name for years.

I remember the days, going to college in Pittsburgh, we would sneak out of class and go to the strip joint to watch her. She was wonderful. Did you know she actually didn't take it all off. She was a tease.

As a young man, she taught me more than I learnt in college.

He traveled across country psychotic as a bedbug with a stripper, Blaze Starr.

Outside of getting a real kick out of your characterization of Earl Long, my only tie-in with this story is that I saw Blaze Starr's act long time ago in San Francisco or some such heathen place.

Earl wasn't with her.

I nearly laughed myself out of my chair on that one!

We can only pray - and Freep - to work to push JFinK over the edge too!
