Neat.

I need a new title. "Editor-in-Chief" is so...trite.

From now on, please refer to me as "Governor"

Thank you and carry on.

I've read enough of the Walking Dead graphic novels to know that I now need to keep a close watch on you...

Perhaps, but 'round these parts the title still has meaning. Notice how Arctic blew a fuse? We're not big on titles on this side of the pond, but when we have one...look out!

I noticed David Dodge wasn't invited to apply for the position. He had that freaky "shakey" voice - always sounded like he was defusing a bomb....

Both are good, but only Mark publicly called out the banks and reminded them that the sun doesn't rise and set around them. IMO, banks are just a service like any prostitute, whoreing for money, a false sense of importance and limited ethics

There's a very tasty young lady works behind the counter at my bank......

Just sayin'

Sigh!
Bob, Bob, Bob!
And where is Mrs. Bob with that frying pan?
Is there a streak of self-flagellation, just waiting for that "GLoiiingg!"

Wait...so this guy is based on Bob's life?

I thought it would be cool to be a Governor until I found out about
the adjective Gubernatorial.  It lost it's lustre.

I dunno... 'Goobernaturial' sounds like a high quality organic peanut butter. Makes me hungry for PB&J or maybe PB&H. And a big ol' glassa milk.
