Our Lt. Gov. is running for mayor of about 900,000 people. She supposedly is in the best position but I don’t know after this slogan. “The Road to Prosperity is Always Under Construction” … Gee, that’s great, just what I want. A mayor who runs her office like a road under construction. Traffic and delays on the way to prosperity! Hooray! Have you seen any doozies lately? ---

I always wanted to see someone run under: “Vote for Me, I’m Full of Shit.” I almost would, just for that. Honesty, after all, does have its place in politics. ---

During the period when Johnson was in his first elected term, one of the White House staff was detected in a homosexual encounter in a Washington YMCA (where else?). During the campaign one of Johnson’s slogans had been **All The Way With LBJ**. Some wag, immediately after the staffer was “outed,” suggested a new slogan for the next campaign, **Either Way With LBJ**. As I remember, Johnson didn’t take to the idea. ---

I forget the candidate, but it’s here in Arkansas. There’s a sign for a politician by the community center (where we vote in my town) that says something like, “[Candidate] For Cheaper Drugs.” I’m guessing he wants to lower the prices of prescription medicine. I wanted to have my picture taken in front of the sign with a bong or something. ---

I still laugh about the sign “Lawless for Lt. Governor” ---

I believe there was a campaign button for Richard Nixon that read “You cant’ lick our Dick” ---

I thought Lawless for Lt Governor was funny, but I thought that Sukup for Governor was even funnier.
