Dear Congressman,
On Wednesday of this week, the 112th session of the United States Congress will convene and all the new members of congress will be sworn in.
Unfortunately, one of them, Steve Chabot, is your replacement.
So I must bid you adieu with this final blog entry, number 37, and move on to the next iteration of my blog, www.boringblogforchabot.blogspot.com.
I will commit to leave this blog dormant, just in case in 2 years time the US public again wants to "throw the bums out" and you get another chance at representing our district.
In an ironic turn, my former congressman (when I lived in Fairfield, OH) is John Boehner, who was the muse for my last blog (www.boringblogforboehner.blogspot.com), will be sworn in as the 61st Speaker of the House. I guess this is the US version of the Ukrainian "Orange Revolution", complete with an orange-tinted politician.
So, for our own entertainment, lets recap the events of the last six months since I moved into your district:
To the tune of Billy Joel's "We didn't start the fire"
