There was a politician in Michigan named Richard Headlee. Worked for former governor George Romney and ran for governor himself later. He went by Dick, even in his ads. ---

I saw a collection of news bloopers recently where the weather guy was reading birthday wishes and fell for Hugh Janus, which I’d have thought someone would catch before air-time. One of the news anchors gave a bark of laughter and explained the joke. ---

One of the news anchors gave a bark of laughter and explained the joke. Is it just me who’s imagining Mr. Janus actually being a real guy, that never ever gets a call out on anything, and can never get a booking for anything in his own name (or a cake with his name on, or a complaint taken seriously, or…) I’m feeling really sorry for imaginary Hugh now ☹ ---

One of the news anchors gave a bark of laughter and explained the joke. In a news story here the guy gave his name to the reporter as Heywood Jablowme. The reporter kept it in the story and it never got caught. Much hilarity ensued. ---
