Mr. Mudd and Mr. Gold and Dr. Dirt

The wicked king of clubs awoke
it was to his queen turned
his lips were laughing as they spoke
his eyes like bullets burned
the sun’s upon a gambling day
his queen smiled low and blissfully
let’s make some wretched fool to play
plain it was she did agree

- Townes Van Zandt
Mr. Mudd and Mr. Gold

Sheryl Kay Bridges, a former aide to political consultant George Shipley, has been sentenced to 6 years in the pokey for stealing from Dr. Dirt himself. The Man has the story.

We think that most of the Dr.’s clients now are corporate and not political, so this sort of larceny is probably old hat by now.

Now here’s what this story’s told
if you feel like Mud you’ll end up Gold
if you feel like lost, you’ll end up found
so amigo, lay them raises down
