When Hoagie Joe makes his announcement, on what some people are calling the Internet, (though it probably will not catch on) he'll be the 19th person to enter the Democratic presidential-candidate ring. When he was born, the President of the United States was FDR, of whom Joe, who took the Amtrak to work every day, will claim that he knew personally, and manufacture a story to the effect that "Franklin wanted me to mow the White House lawn for 50 cents, and I said 'No deal, Mr. President,' and he thought I said 'New Deal' because he upped his offer to 55 cents, cents and, soon after, he announced his New Deal." (no one will wonder how Joe managed to coin this phrase nine years before he was born).
