Yeah, saw that the first time, amigo.. What are you, Caro's PR person? This article isn't about politics, it is about a man who has written books about politics and his journey.. This article was about as long and unwieldy as Caro's work is purported to be..

L. B. J. was flying one morn  - Over South Louisiana, feeling forlorn - Then he looks down below and what does he see - Two Cajuns pulling a nigger on skis - So he lands and says "thanks for helping your black brother" - And them two Cajuns looked at each other - Said "he might be smart but I'll tell you something - He don't know a thing about alligator hunting"

Lady Bird Johnson made me miss my flight to Germany because she delayed our plane due to getting her hair done.

Lady Bird did a whole lot more good than LBJ did.
From what I remeber, she was a major force behind head start.
