Article explaining why the lights went out
Agree, Mike. The recent "power outtage" (I'm being kind here) underlines a
problem with free enterprize as practiced in the U.S. IMO, it is graphic evidence showing the need for federal control, if ever there was one. Someone said, "The U.S. is a first class world power with a third world power system" - or something to that effect. National security transcends free enterprize when, errrr, welll, national security is in jeopardy. Bob Swinney "Mike Graham" wrote in message ...

How did Lyndon Baines Johnson get into this thread? My favorite LBJ story: His entourage stopped in the middle of a trip by the roadside, and everyone got out. LBJ was peeing, and an aid piped up and said, 'excuse me sir, you're urinating on my shoes.' LBJ reportedly replied: "That, son, is my perrogative!"

Personally, I wouldn't set myself up for that kind of comparison- perhaps I'd show them the prairie dogs first. LBJ must have been a Texan in every aspect. |

Article explaining why the lights went out
I'm not an LBJ fan all of the way by any means. However
I don't think this is a likely event. The love for Ladybird was strong. He would rather shoot someone instead. Or make a side deal on 1000 fertilizer tanks in West Texas for the cotton farms with his buddy. He was power hungry type, not a lady killer. JFK was the lady killer. Some operator - big man in many ways. Most don't speak well of him - some are afraid of the closets. He did, and never got credit for it - drive the civil rights bill through the house and get his friend drive it in the Senate. He used a lot of credits from years of bargains. I'm sorry to say the war took all credit away. But that is his great item in life. Martin Harold Burton wrote: "Don Murray" wrote in message ... Sounds like a cock and bull story to me.
