This just popped into my mailbox again, and seems to have been updated
since the last time I saw it. I like the message at the bottom, so I
thought I should send it around. A few of these points are irrelevant, as
they would have happened regardless of whom was in office. But hey,
doesn't everyone pad their resume? :-)
Perhaps we can make use of some of these items down the road? After we
fact-check them, of course. I have made no edits to the included list.

"It was just inebriating what Midland was all about then."
