Ed, I think independent gubernatorial candidate Chris Daggett is 110 percent right about one thing: Only an independent can really fix all the problems in the state of New Jersey. Maybe it is time that we do get an independent elected as governor. We really do need a big change. You know what? Mr. Daggett is starting to look pretty good to me.

I kind of like him, too. And I like to call him “Dag.” And I like to say, “Dag is Rad.” Rad as in cool, not rad as in radical. I guess in that case you might as well go with “Dag is Bad.” Bad as in good, not bad as in crappy. That should be his slogan. Dag is bad. And his supporters could be like, “Dag is my dog.” Dog as in good friend, not dog as in dog. This is really working. “I dig Dag, my dog, because Dag is bad and rad.” I think I remember that from a kindergarten learn-to-read textbook. Right after “See Dag run” and “Dag likes Jill.” Yep, losin’ it a little. Moving on ....—Ed. Note
