There's Always Option B

If you can't or won't do the job, resign. [More]

Kind of old to be a special snowflake, aren't you, Beau?

This isn't about HIS "free speech rights." He voluntarily chose to be the political voice of the VA constituency, knowing full well the requirements of the law, and hehad no objections until things didn't go his way.

Ordinarily I wouldn't give a damn, as Saban and Cranston are both big lefties, except when the cubs were little, the PR were favorites, and we did like "Breaking Bad."  I had to go all over town to get the last Megazord on the shelf for elder feral son Uday's birthday 20 or so years ago.

"Zordan, what do we do now?" he asked in mock character dialog.

"We cook."

This blog will be on limited operations over the next few days. I have a magazine deadline to meet and family coming in from all over for the long weekend.
