Notable 1980s presidents and a Kansas road joke
Ottawa Herald notes presidents beyond Nixon tapped lines with Kennedy and Roosevelt mentioned, Eisenhower avoided. Reagan leaks and lie detector tests cited. A plumber quip about the term raises a chuckle. Local talk covers the economy, free lunch audits, and Rep Frey’s Yellow Brick Road nickname for US-54. The piece riffs on Oz imagery and Kansas routes, especially US-54 and K-96 into Colorado.
