FRANK HORTON: DEAD, YOU KNOW
Breaking news: this will mean nothing to any of you, but former Congressman Frank Horton died yesterday.

This is important TRL News because, in 1986, Representative Horton had to fend off a fierce electoral challenge from future Famous Author Rob Byrnes to keep his seat. After months of intense campaigning, I held Horton to a mere 70% of the vote, with the Democrat picking up, oh, another 26% or so. So close I almost demanded a recount.

Mr. Byrnes Almost Goes to Washington. Heady times, friends, heady times.

RIP, Frank.
