How about that for a coincidence. Yesterday I was commenting on the fact that Trump has so many acting heads of department, and ex-acting heads of departments, that Washington now has more actors, and unemployed actors, then Hollywood. I knew about Gotham and it's people acting crazy. It came up in a newspaper article because both the Bush family and the Clinton family originally hail from there. Hartlepool in north east England is nicknamed the Monkey Hangers. This came about because during the Napoleonic War a French ship was shipwrecked off the coast and a live monkey was washed ashore. Thinking it was a Frenchman they hung it. And like others they too have embarrassed the name.
