    Duke is going to need a dip in his recreational pharmaceuticals again before he’s going to be able to get his brain around the situation.

    Duke’s biggest problem is that Trudeau hasn’t yet given him the brain storm for how to suck up to the dems.

    margueritem, I don’t think Duke has even SEEN the same reality as the rest of us, since his RW alter ego ran the last 5 miles of the Honolulu marathon on speed and spaghetti, wielding a Samoan war club.

    Marg, you are right, but then Duke NEVER grasped the concept of reality, at least not as we know it. Cleo, Yes, I am worried too; Duke has always been my ‘goto” man…. for the very reason I just cited above. Roger, but not….., was that incident part of the sequence where Duke finally ended up in suspended life after been left in a snow bank in, I think, north Dakota for a week?

    JonD17 - No, I don’t think it made it into Doonesbury. Hunter S. Thompson got sent down to Hawaii by Rolling Stone one time to participate in, and write about, the Honolulu Marathon. Classic “Bad Idea”, but the world got a fairly amazing book out of it. Read “The Curse of Lono” sometime. Keep a good bottle of scotch handy.

    I happened to be living there at the time, and it was the totally weirdest thing I’d ever seen, including Vietnam.
