Businesses in New Orleans are beckoning to the GOP tourists. At the Chicken Man House of Voodoo, they've put up a sign even Nancy Reagan would love--"Dope Be Death Say Chicken Man," it says...
...should be. It is a tribute to Bentsen. But, you see, I'm not running against Lloyd Bentsen. I'm running against Michael Dukakis, in Texas and everywhere else. How Bentsen and Dukakis get together on these issues where they are diametrically opposed, I don't know. Remember voodoo economics?

After all, who looks at anyone else when Bette Midler is around? It is a privilege merely to watch her walk her walks: the not-quite-ladylike mince, the executive sweep, the strumpet's strut. She lopes easily from City Sadie, the bitch goddess who spits out orders...
...guys in orange from Baltimore had tried everything from hiring a new manager to accepting advice from Ronald Reagan. It was reported that the Reagans used an astrologer to help them with tough decisions. Voodoo economics say hello to voodoo baseball...
