As the saying goes, “You can’t make this stuff up.”

A snip, from Associated Press, about the governor’s race:

"A slew of lesser-knowns with little financing also are on the list of gubernatorial candidates. One who signed up Thursday was Democrat Mary Smith, a retired hairdresser from Winnsboro. Smith told reporters she wants to be governor because she wants to try to spring former Gov. Edwin Edwards from federal prison, where he's serving a 10-year sentence for bribery."

Emphasis is mine, of course. ;->
