Don't forget this recent item:]
While serving as the grand marshal, he gets caught on camera drinking a can of Guinness as he's riding in a convertible through the trendy Greenville Avenue area of Dallas.
Imbibing while a passenger in a moving vehicle is a Class C misdemeanor for which he could be fined $500, except for one thing.
A spokesman for the Dallas police said no officer saw him, and they can't issue a citation based on television footage.

Friedman came up with a new one-liner, something the tired collection of old one-liners he calls a campaign desperately needs.

"Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow
Never apply a Star Trek solution to a Babylon 5 problem.
I am not merely a "consumer" or a "taxpayer". I am a Citizen of the United States.
