Pretty Is As Pretty Does

If somebody was to tell you that this is your humble correspondent, would it scare you that you've taken him seriously? That intent look has a bit to do with a 15 foot drop, standing on 2 1/2 inches, a running chain saw, cutting the beam above, and a photog friend with the nerve to yell, "Smile!" right about here.

It might not take a real large leap of imagination to figure I'm not the type to be impressed with playing dress-up in a flight suit.

Baggage

Shortly before the Primary vote I will have 18 years of sobriety. I didn't get sober because it tasted bad or for some little reason, I got sober because my life was a complete mess. 18 years ago I got to start over from behind 0, not at the beginning. I had to take a real good look at myself and get that straightened up so that I could look at myself and be comfortable.

I'm not offering you the "same old choices", and that's a fact jack. I'm not your guy if you like politics as usual. I intend to stir you up as a hardnosed blunt talker and I intend to represent you that way and stir them up. I've had the politically knowledgable tell me to let surrogates do the tough talking while I come across as the nice guy, well guess what, nope. I'm sick of that garbage and I figure you are, too.
