Whither Brad?

I hope he doesn't mind me saying so, but Brad Cole had a bad week last week. He lost his new job (as Senior Administrator & Regional Manager of Central Management Services for the State of Illinois) to new Gov. Rod Blagojevich's purge of former Governor Ryan's appointees, while his opponent in the mayoral election, Maggie Flanagan, turned down his request for 6 debates. What next? Will Brad's library card be revoked?

As Brad's unappointed counselor, I would advise him to 'hang in there'. Exceptional men and women have always had to overcome adversity and disappointment on the path of great achievement.
