Every time I see that phrase "a chicken in every pot" I think of Huey P. Long—governor of Louisiana in the 1930's. That was his main campaign slogan. He won the election and like a true progressive slapped his name on almost every thing in the state—-a custom that continued long after his assassination in 1935! The Kingfish, his nick name was very popular in the state, but obviously the man had enemies. Did you ever see the movie "All the Kings Men" by Robert Penn Warren? That was based on the life and times of Huey Long!
