What's In A Title?

According to this story in the Baton Rouge Advocate, our current Governor, Kathleen Blanco, is considering writing a book after she leaves office. Seeing a golden opportunity to assist our Chief Executive, the nice folks at Louisiana News Link / Louisiana Political News Service are holding a contest to help her choose a title. (scroll down a bit on their site) Yeah, like I could resist that; so here are my suggestions so far:

"Does This Budget Make Me Look Fat? The Kathleen Blanco Story"

"Profiles in Discourage"

"Gone With The Wind II"

"How To Be Happy At 49 (Out Of 50)"

"You Might Be Governor If……."

"At Least I’m Not Ray Nagin"

"The Peter Kathleen Principle"

You, too, can send your suggestions. E-mail them to politicaleditor6@hotmail.com, and they will post the ten best in their newsletter next week.

UPDATE: A few more:

"I Have Always Relied On The Kindness Of Strangers"

"Disaster, She Wrote"

"A Trailer In Every Yard"

"STELLLLY!!"

"How To Try Without Really Suceeding"

One with a REALLY, REALLY obscure reference: "Trout Fishing In Lakeview"
