As mayor, she was a Democrat - now she's a Republican. She ran for governor in 2006. Her son is the pasty-faced gasbag Scott McClellan, former Press Secretary to George W Bush - he's an idiot, too

1 - Phillip holding my Canary if you know what I mean | 1977 | This will take some sorting out.

Turns out Phillip is the kid brother of Cyndie Powers who was Jamie Lipman's live-in on 37th street.

I met Jamie when I moved into Robert Whyburn's house across the street. This was 10+ years after I knew Phillip.

A fews years later, Robert met and married Anne Mary Carney who it turns out went to Round Rock High School with Phillip (nickname "Poet")

This last twist I learned only recently (10/15/05) at a party at Jamie's house which all the assembled characters attended unbeknowing all the angles | Its a small world after all
