Now we know why Mike Easley was so, well, weird. He wasn’t just Governor. He was Secret Agent Man.
Instead of a number like 007, he had a nom de guerre: Ckin Regnad.
This explains the need to keep his whereabouts secret and constantly change his schedule. It’s why he had to conduct much of his work in the middle of the night, leaving furtive phone messages for even his closest aides. And have a secret email account.
To further confound nefarious foes, he wrote backwards. Of course!
One mystery remains. It’s the Firesign Theater connection. Back in the day on campus, listening to Firesign Theater was a favorite pastime of those who, as they used to say, “experimented” with drugs. And not the kind of experiments that went on in chem lab.
I’m just saying.
But it’s a relief to have everything else explained.
Case closed.
