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!

“When compiling sharp conservative thoughts and takes for my Morning Jolt newsletter late at night and early in the morning, I find myself coming back to Left Coast Rebel again and again.” –Jim Geraghty, National Review “Hey Tim, I appreciate the kind email and the plug on your site. It’s rare that my first feedback isn’t hate mail from a disgruntled statist! You carry on too – we’ve got our work cut out for us.” –Tad DeHaven, Cato Institute “Thanks so much for all YOU do for liberty and individual rights. I appreciate your strong voice for capitalism. We’re changing the culture — keep it up!” –Jonathan Hoenig, Fox News “Congrats Tim. You have arrived.” –GatewayPundit “Before we sell California to China or go Lex Luther on the San Andreas Fault, let’s be sure to save the Left Coast Rebel.” –Barack Obama’s Cousin, Milton R. Wolf, M.D.
“I like LCR because it seems like more thought goes into posts there than at many other blogs that focus more on horse-race politics.” –Nate Nelson, United Liberty

ReplyDeleteI think Huey and Bernie would have gotten along just fine!. Saw All the King's Men eons ago. Probably should watch it again sometime.
