Update for Everyone V: Born Under A Bad Sign

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

Since 1993 I've appeared 31 times on an official ballot (including primaries and party offices). This morning I announce that I won't be on in 2018. I'm timing the announcement to occur before my big western road trip which starts on Friday. Petitions for 2018 start circulating just after Labor Day, everyone will know my plans well in advance.

Hope you enjoy life outside of elected office. Get something done you've always dreamed of. Or something. Treat yourself, do something you'll enjoy.

Hope things to go well for your mom, Jacobin!

I have it confirmed my book (first volume to be precise) is going to be published in two weeks, having been sent to formater. As I've probably mentioned before, it was originally set for July, but the publisher experienced some general delays.

Congrats! What's it about?

A novel and it's in English. Obviously a political-historical novel.

I'd rather not post details here, since it'd be against the ToS to advertise.

Well, now oficially announced for the end of next week.

how soon will you be allowed to discuss it in this thread?

Does anyone here have an aversion to banana nut muffins?
