[ExI] r.i.p. ladybird johnson

Upon the passing of Ladybird Johnson, a local news writer commented that
Ladybird changed the way America thought of the first lady.  It occurred to
me how profound was his statement.  Before Mrs. Johnson became first lady,
America thought of the first lady as Mrs. Kennedy.  But after Mrs. Johnson
became the first lady, America thought of the first lady as Mrs. Johnson.

Where the heck is everyone, and why am I reduced to making lame first lady
jokes just to fill in the quietness?  All summer vacations are cancelled
until morale improves.
