There are certain things I've been asked not to mention, like the convention all over again. I've been asked this in order to get something important done, which will not "get done" if I don't agree. I can tell you it is as tempting as hell to go right ahead and talk about anything the way I damn well please. But, as usual, there are other considerations...not other people's feelings...which of us gave a damn about anyone's feelings in the last few months...
There is this thing called the Hammurabi Monument, and as much as I'd like to be free of it, take its humiliating burden off my shoulders and run free on the beach in Mexico...I signed on to do something and the young people I'm doing it for had no part in these petty assed conflicts. So...I'll keep quiet as asked. But so help me god, if this thing doesn't fly and soon...and if I get one more piece of nonsense to contend with, I'll blow such a cover off this rot that even THEY will be ashamed.
