It's publication day for my book, and all I can say is that it feels nothing like I thought it would. I am now, however, fully into my shameless self-promotion era, so prepare yourself for way more of my bullshit.

The Virginia race for Attorney General boils down to:
You're a pussy!
Uh-uh, you're the pussy!
You can't call me that, I'm gonna tell my dad!
Go ahead and tell him, my dad can beat up your dad!
No he can't!
Yes he can!
You're such a pussy!
You are!
You're a pussy!
Uh-uh, you're the pussy!

Confusing things in this life:
Barabbas was the prisoner pardoned by Pontius Pilate instead of Jesus.
Carrabba's is a chain of Italian eateries based in Florida.
I feel it is important to keep them straight, though the idea of a chain restaurant based on the life of Barabbas is amusing.

A Jeroboam is a large wine bottle that holds the equivalent of four standard wine bottles.
A Jerboa is hopping desert rodent with large ears and a tail common to North Africa and Asia.
