How 'bout some catfish, our unequaled Southern delicacy ? And we can't forget the tartar sauce. Sacrilege not to serve it with. ;-)
But seriously, I think DC just couldn't handle Fred and the change he'd bring (but he's the gigantic enema that town has needed since Reagan departed). He truly got fed up with the bull$hit there and could feel it trying to feed on his soul before his 8 years in the Senate concluded. I'm amazed he'd consent to want to go back there, but we know now, at least us honest folks, that he's not doing it for ego or over some crazy obsession stemming from the fact that daddy was denied the job, but because he gives a damn about his kids and the world they stand to inherit.
I doubt the government would want me, either. They seem content to employ those that want to keep things exactly as they are, with the lies, the nonsense and the garbage they spin like spiders, growing ever so much larger by the day, until they trap us all within it and eventually kill this grand American experiment in republican democracy.
Of course, Jefferson was ultimately correct that the tree of liberty must be replenished from time to time with the blood of patriots... and that of tyrants. I just don't want that tyrant to come from our party, which it may cease to be by February... :-\
