Remembering Earl Butz

Trippy Trekker · Jan 4, 2017

Something about Team Trump brings back memories of Earl Butz. I have chosen not to recite the off-color joke, told in 1976, that led President Ford's Secretary of Agriculture to resign. Do you or do you not anticipate a scandal-ridden Trump Administration?

Omg. I'm surprised he lived so long. That black "joke" was absolutely disgusting. He should have been tarred and feathered and run out of town. Actually sounds like he might haven been mentally ill. Interesting information he was hired by a well-respected college...

Hey, Trippy. Just flew back to Chicago last night after a 4-day stay in West Palm. The had to shoot me in the leg to get me on the plane.

Lucky YOU!!

I confess late night-early morning (roughly 5 a.m.) firsthand familiarity with Clematis Street in the heart of downtown West Palm Beach.... but not in about 20 years. I giggled at the memories. I particularly remember Spanky's and an alternative club called Reflections.
