Thank you Anglo-Celt

by planetparker

I am so grateful to the Anglo-Celt for giving publicity to my poor little blog. It is sincerely appreciated. I’m delighted that I was able to push the politicians from the front page – no easy task in the run-up to an election.

I am so glad that I have joined the hallowed hall of hoaxers where I can take my place beside such luminaries as my hero Jorge Luis Borges.

I am also reminded of the story told about President Lyndon B. Johnston. During the 1964 presidential campaign against arch-conservative Barry Goldwater, he told a group of campaign strategists. “Let’s put out a rumour that Goldwater is a homosexual.” His staff were shocked. “We can’t do that LBJ” protested one adviser. “Everyone knows Goldwater’s a family man, a good Christian who has no time for homosexuality.” Here LBJ sat back in his chair and said. “I know that, and you know that, but let’s just hear the son-of-a-bitch deny it!”

The stories on local radio had nothing to do with me; I’m barred from Northern Sound.
