Sen. Helms Will Not Seek Re-Election, Reports Say

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican Sen. Jesse Helms, a congressional champion of conservative causes for nearly 30 years, is expected to announce Wednesday he will not seek re-election next year, according to news reports Tuesday. The News & Observer of Raleigh, North Carolina, said in an online report that Helms would announce his decision live on local television station WRAL-TV, where he once was political commentator and executive vice president.

True, true...but it seems like there are more Archibalds than Stroms.

How about Gunter? Or Dieter?

Hugh Heimlich (my last name). And I'd tack on a "the third" just because it sounds good.

Yes, indeedy. I'm damn proud of that boy. He owns three Quickie Marts just outside of Tallahassee. He's done right by his momma he has. Was gonna be a lawyer, but I said, "Hugh, what you wanna do that for? There's plenty of lawyers. Get yerself a business is what you should do. Then you'd really be your own man." Between my encouragement and the cocaine bender that he went on that kinda alienated him from his lawyer buddies, he was inspired to follow his momma's advice. And I couldn't be prouder.

Lawd Jesus.

I wasn't expecting that.

There's someone in our system whose last name is Crackenberter. Another named Boffo. And one with the unwieldly moniker Brzymialkiewicz.

Poor Archibald Brzymialkiewicz. And poor Misty Shores. Why, why, why would parents do such things?

To build character.

Or because they're sadists. Or dense.
