He thought this was his ticket to winning reelection over the Republican golden boy Will Conway, played by Joel Kinnaman.

NOTE FROM LB

The past is always prolog. I believe that what I love most about existence is the wonderful inefficiency of the eternal recurrence so many of us do our best to ignore. What am I talking about? Well, the last time I wrote about it, I said this:

I Have Lived Many Lives
