Do you remember when I dedicated a full half hour to the “Aqua globe” … and then raised the discussion of who is the best TV huckster … Billy Mays or Vern “Shamwow” … well finally for those of us who consider this one of the greatest American art forms … huckstering … a web page dedicated to Billy Mays.

Billy Mays is also doing spots for ESPN, or at least ESPN360 which is an internet only service. I was shocked when it came on.

No recession in the Mays household…

Come on! The winner is Obama. Second is Pelosi. Then Reid. Then Paulsen. A tie between Dodd and Frank. Raines. Waxman. Waters. Could it be the Democratic Party? No, the NEW Democratic Party since the one I joined @ 35 years ago was NOT this one led by hucksters.
