Sad that they wouldn't name the new government center after him.  It's almost as if they're ashamed of their Harry Baals.

I saw a British game show where contestants had to guess the made-up politician.  The fake name was "Lance Thrust".


The real names were "Dick Swett", "Butch Otter", "Young Boozer", "Lady Garden", and a 5th one I'm now forgetting.

"Fort Wayne newscaster Bob Chase, of WOWO-AM, relates a story that he once pronounced the mayor's name "Bales." Mayor Baals personally called him following the broadcast to correct his pronunciation, saying, "son, this is your Mayor. I pronounce my name 'Balls'."

This Democratic California assemblyman: https://a06.asmdc.org/

Click on the website and you'll see why it's especially funny that he's a Democrat from California.

Not a politician as such, but we can't go without mentioning longtime Michigan pollster Bernie Porn.

Rick Santorum ran for President in 2012 and 2016 and his name is unfortunate.
