Something Earl Long knew well and is relevent today.

Never write down anything that can be spoken,

Never speak anything that can be shook on,

Never shake on anything that can be winked,

and never wink on anything that is understood.

1. More Earl Long wisdom
When told that Huey bought the legislature, Earl supposedly said "I just rent 'em. It's cheaper that way."

2. During the last Edwards and the Foster administrations you had a group of about 25
that everyone called the "COD boys." Some of them were females, but the COD was what counted, you didn't pay them until after their votes were registered. They would take the money and then vote however they wanted.
