Huey Long, the Kingfish of Louisiana, Governor and Senator, was a populist politician in 1920s and 1930s. As Governor in the late '20s, and as Senator afterwards, Long's charisma and accomplishments made him a presidential candidate for the 1936 elections. FDR called Huey Long one of the two most dangerous men in America. Senator Long's was gunned down in 1935. His last words were: “God, don't let me die. I have so much to do.”
As governor, Long: built roads across the state; built bridges; built hospitals; expanded the LSU from a minor provincial college to a major national university; promoted adult illiteracy; abolished the poll tax; provided free textbooks to the children of Louisiana; greeted a German admiral in his pajamas; continuously fought Standard Oil; defeated an impeachment attempt by the Lousiana oligarchy; built the tallest state Capitol building in the South; pissed off the Louisiana aristocratic and moneyed elite something awful; and more.
As a Senator, Long promoted his 'Share the Wealth' program - which proposed the radical decrease of income inequality in the United States.
Many have called Long a dictator. Long ruled by guile and acumen, but mostly Huey ruled because the people liked him. The people voted for Huey again and again.
Regarding violence: Long avoided serice in WW1; he famously said he'd rather not rule than rule by murder.
In 1935 a plot of the Louisiana oligarchy led to Long's death.
(Also check T. Harry William's "Huey Long".)
(From Randy Newman's song about Huey Long:)
Who built the highway to Baton Rouge?
Who put up the hospital and built you schools?
Who looks after shit-kickers like you?
The Kingfish do
Who gave a party at the Roosevelt Hotel?
And invited the whole north half of the state down there for free
The people in the city
Had their eyes bugging out
Cause everyone of you
Looked just like me
Kingfish, Kingfish
Everybody sing
Kingfish, Kingfish
Every man a king
Who took on the Standard Oil men
And whipped their ass
Just like he promised he'd do?
Ain't no Standard Oil men gonna run this state
Gonna be run by little folks like me and you
Kingfish, Kingfish
Friend of the working man
Kingfish, Kingfish
The Kingfish gonna save this land

Long Valley is a town in Morris County. Long Valley is also know as the "LV". LV lies in one of the wealthiest countys in NJ. LV is half farmland/working class and fucking rich ass people. In long valley you either live in "the valley" or "the mountain". The kids who live in the big "LV" are usually assholes but we love them anyway. Long Valley is mainly all white and the minoritys act white. LV kids drink and smoke weed for fun, and like to throw house parties that get broken up in an hour cuz LV cops are douchebags. If you live in long valley you probably went to West Morris Central. Long valley is horribly boring and if you want to go anywhere besides the general store you have to go into Hackettstown. The highschool parking lot is filled with BMWS, Audis, Hummers, while some cars are shitty mainly. Usually the wealthier kids like on the "mountain". LV is boring but if your from Long Valley your fucking proud, because one is for sure, with only a general store in our entire town we know how to have a fucking good time!
" I live on the Mountain in Long Valley"
" Kids from Long Valley are rich pricks!!"

Typically used to describe the last encounter between two friends, lovers, or family members before a long leave of absence (or in most cases, permanent).
Note: The literal saying of goodbyes doesn't necessarily have to be drawn out. "Long" only clarifies the fact that the people involved won't see each other again for a long time (if ever).
They said their long goodbyes before Tommy headed out west.
I hate the long goodbye.
I wish I had known that was the long goodbye. There's so much more I would have liked to say.

Playing the long game in a relationship isn't when 2 people have a goal to be together but the timing isn't always right. They might live far apart, have age differences, or be at different stages of their life. When playing the long game they agree to live their separate lives in hopes that eventually when timing is right, they'll be together in the end. They don't have to be exclusive but they also don't have to see other people. You make your own rules.
1. "I really like you but we're in different stages of our lives and the timing isn't right. I'm in it for the long game.."
2. "Long game?"
"Long game."
