Read this because its funny. I know these usually aren't, but this one is.
Back in the early 1980s, I was occasionally sent to cover the Michigan Legislature for long stretches of time. That was before term limits, and the lawmakers were an interesting bunch.
One man had a migrating toupee that slowly moved about on his head, sort of like a giant hairy amoeba. At least two or three others were clearly runners-up to amoebas in the IQ department.
My favorite was state Sen. Basil Brown, the guardian of Highland Park, who usually just sat, glowering, behind impenetrable dark glasses. Once, during a caucus luncheon, he was brought John Kelly's order by mistake. Rather than switch plates with Kelly, as is normal etiquette in the better reform schools, ol' Basil threw his like a discus, hard as he could, at the waiter vanishing into the swinging doors leading to the kitchen.
Eventually, Basil's political career would suffer a slight setback when he pleaded guilty to delivering drugs to a prostitute, and a more permanent reversal when he died nine years ago.
Newworks run through went awesome. I look snazzy as a british gentleman in full suit. The Sun CD is awesome, if a little emo.
'V for Vendetta' this weekend anybody?
