I can’t believe you are now working for the Cheeto god! May the duration of your pathetic existence be accursed. I WILL NOT stop sending you money in the hope that Kash Patel notices and you are sent to Guantanamo for corruption.

That said, congratulations. I will miss you.

Congratulations on the appointment! If the job brings you to Washington, DC, please reach out and I'll treat you to a celebratory adult beverage or lunch. You will have a lot of fun - and challenges - in the new position, working with terrific new leadership.

Mr. Buckley will be a welcome addition to The Swamp Creatures. He failed to mention Messy Times and the enduring influence of my brand of Enlightentainment on his wit and writing, but that is mostly because he needs plausible deniability in his new role.

All the best in your new endeavor! You will be missed here!!

My two cents…Generally, DC is a mean place and the halls of government can be *incredibly* nasty. Watch your back and attack them with biting humor, it will be totally unexpected but keep a dagger close at hand for Justin. 😎
