...looks as though a bomb in a drying machine went off in the Adams House Pool. A broad swath of dirt and trash separates the stage from the audience. In the muck you can spot ruined cardboard boxes and a half-buried rifle. Ancient shirts and shredded pants are strung up about the theatre and lie in heaps at the back of the stage. A rickety table looks ready to collapse under the iron wielded by a young woman in a stained housedress...

And amazingly, Democrats are buying into the Big Creep's definition of victory: three-quarters of the country believe he is untrustworthy and lacking ethical standards, and they're popping corks. Party leaders are united in defense of this man--their guiding principles of moral and legal relativity have been...
...practices a strong allegiance to his "family," which includes Liam, and since former addict Liam and addict-at-large Liam's wife play fast and lose with debts to said hoodlums' boss, it's clear that too-willing-to-help Joe could soon get pulled down into the muck again. Once in the muck, he might find drink not far behind...
