It’s an interesting time, between an election and an inauguration. An outgoing public official with nothing to lose because they already lost, decided to retire, or are pressing up against their term limits. So these lame ducks have a few choices to make. Should they spend all of their political capital and go for broke? Or should they sit back and do nothing?
If only this effing guy would sit back and do nothing, right?
Now you, on the other hand, better snap into action. Because this piece isn’t going to write itself.
