If All They Did

If all these people did was piss off rabid conservatives, I think I'd still like them. That they in fact spend their days, nights, and weekends trying to fix, clean up, and generally repair the mess that the prior occupant left -- and not just the prior one, but that's the major offender -- well, heck, that raises most of them to damn near sainthood, in my book.

But that mirror has to go. Who are they expecting, the Jolly Green Giant?
